The MCP Chess Server allows users to play chess against any LLM, providing tools for game visualization and analysis.
The MCP Chess Server is a model context protocol server designed to facilitate playing chess against language learning models (LLMs). It offers a range of tools to visualize the chessboard, determine the current player's turn, list valid moves, and make moves using Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN). Additionally, it allows users to start new games and analyze positions within a PGN (Portable Game Notation) file. The server is configured through the MCP configuration file, enabling seamless integration with existing MCP setups. This server is ideal for chess enthusiasts looking to challenge LLMs or analyze games using advanced computational tools.
Features
- Play chess against any LLM with real-time board visualization.
- Determine the current player's turn and list all valid moves.
- Make moves using Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN) and receive updates in UCI and FEN formats.
- Start new games with customizable player color settings.
- Analyze specific positions within a PGN file using condition-based search.
