Minesweeper MCP Server

An MCP server for playing Minesweeper

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tonypan2-minesweeper-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "C:\\path\\to\\repo\\minesweeper-mcp-server\\build\\index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "*"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can run the Minesweeper MCP Server alongside the Minesweeper game server to enable an MCP client to play Minesweeper via the model context protocol. This server exposes a local process that the MCP client can connect to and interact with, enabling scripted gameplay, automation, and integration with other tools.

How to use

To use the Minesweeper MCP Server with an MCP client, first start the server process locally, then configure your MCP client to load the tool by pointing it at the server. You will provide the client with the local command to launch the server and any environment variables required for debugging.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

Install dependencies and build the MCP server.

npm install
npm run build

Additional notes

Configure your MCP client to add the tool. For example, you can add a tool entry that runs the MCP server as a local process using Node.js and points to the built entry file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "minesweeper_mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\repo\\minesweeper-mcp-server\\build\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "*"
      }
    }
  }
}

Security and troubleshooting

Run the server in a controlled environment and restrict access to the local machine or the necessary network interfaces used by the MCP client. If you encounter issues, enable verbose debugging by setting the DEBUG environment variable to *. This provides detailed traces to help diagnose startup and interaction problems.
