Kkjdaniel Bgg MCP server

What it does

BGG MCP exposes the BoardGameGeek API through the Model Context Protocol, giving AI assistants access to board game data, user collections, pricing from multiple retailers, and forum-based rules clarifications. It is aimed at developers and board game enthusiasts who want to query BGG data from MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop or VS Code.

• Look up a user's BGG collection and filter it by player count, rating, or play status.
• Compare current retail prices for specific board games across multiple UK retailers using BGG game IDs.
• Search BGG forum threads to answer rules questions about a specific board game.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
