What is Lichess MCP?

Lichess MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you interact with the Lichess chess platform using natural language. Built for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients, it enables account management, game play, analysis, tournaments, and more through a set of tools.

How to use Lichess MCP?

Install globally via npm (npm install -g lichess-mcp) or use Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @karayaman/lichess-mcp --client claude). Configure a Lichess API token via environment variable LICHESS_TOKEN or the set_token tool, then add the server to your Claude Desktop config under mcpServers.

Key features of Lichess MCP

Manage your Lichess account and view profiles
Create challenges, make moves, and manage games

Join and create arena tournaments
Interactive chess UIs: puzzles, game viewer, opening explorer (in supported clients)

Use cases of Lichess MCP

常见问题

How do I get a Lichess API token?

Generate one at https://lichess.org/account/oauth/token. Provide it via the `LICHESS_TOKEN` environment variable or the `set_token` tool during runtime.

What move formats does the server accept?

The API accepts moves in UCI format (e.g., `e2e4`) for most endpoints, and SAN format (e.g., `e4`) for some endpoints.

Can I use the server without Claude Desktop?

Yes. After building (`npm run build`), you can start the server standalone with `npm start`. It works with any MCP client.

Is there interactive visual feedback for chess boards?

In clients that support MCP Apps (like Claude Desktop), certain tools (`play_puzzle`, `view_pgn`, `explore_openings`) render an interactive chess board. In other clients, they fall back to text (FEN/PGN/Lichess links).

What should I do if the server won't connect?

Ensure `lichess-mcp` is installed globally and available in your PATH, check the configuration file uses the `mcpServers` format (not `mcp_servers`), and verify your Lichess API token is valid. Restart Claude Desktop completely after changes.
