### 2026-10-29 (score 62)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `list_guide` (~50 tokens)

List every page of the Miniant Games developer guide (slug, title, section, one-line agentSummary) and the task recipes. Call this first, then read_guide for the pages you need.

### `read_guide` (~68 tokens)

Read one developer guide page as markdown, with its checklist. Use slug "agent-entry" for the agent entry document (platform rules, things never to build, and the recipes). Slugs come from list_guide; the intro page is "introduction".

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required)

### `search_guide` (~64 tokens)

Case-insensitive substring search over guide titles, headings, summaries and bodies. Returns up to 10 pages (slug, title, matching snippet), title and heading matches first. Use it to find which page documents an SDK call or rule.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required)

### `get_checklist` (~85 tokens)

Get the requirement checklist (id, text, verify, page) for one guide page (slug) or for a whole task recipe (recipe id from list_guide, pages in recipe order). Pass exactly one of slug or recipe. verify is either manual or validator:<rule>, the rule validate_build checks.

Input parameters:

- `recipe` (string)
- `slug` (string)

### `validate_build` (~74 tokens)

Validate a game's build output folder (the one containing miniant.json and the entry HTML) with the same validator the Miniant publishing pipeline runs. dir is resolved against the server's current working directory. Returns { ok, errors, warnings, checks, highlightsManual }; fix every error before publishing.

Input parameters:

- `dir` (string, required)

### `scaffold_game` (~148 tokens)

Create a plain-JavaScript starter game (miniant.json, index.html, main.js with the Miniant SDK init, ready and reportResult skeleton) in a new or empty directory, resolved against the server's working directory. Refuses a non-empty directory. For Phaser, Unity, Godot or other engines read_guide sdk/engines instead. This is the only tool that writes files. modes are mode ids (solo, vs_ai, local_multiplayer, online_friends, online_random), default [solo]; non-solo modes need extra work that validate_build will list.

Input parameters:

- `dir` (string, required)
- `modes` (array)
- `title` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the Miniant Games MCP server?

Miniant Games is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as games.miniant/miniantgames-mcp. Build games for Miniant Games: developer guide, checklists, build validator, starter game. This page covers its npm package (miniantgames-mcp).

### Is the Miniant Games MCP server safe to use?

Miniant Games scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Miniant Games MCP server expose?

Miniant Games exposes 6 tools: list_guide, read_guide, search_guide, get_checklist, validate_build, scaffold_game. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 489 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Miniant Games MCP server still maintained?

Miniant Games is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Miniant Games MCP server under?

Miniant Games declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Miniant Games MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on Miniant Games, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Miniant Games: Security disclosure. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
