How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.Unverified
Capabilities0

Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.
How do I install the needmoar.games MCP server?
needmoar.games is a hosted endpoint at https://needmoar.games/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 90 to 93. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 27 days of observed history at the previous scan, 28 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
game_detail How liked is a game ~119
The community consensus for one game on needmoar.games: how liked it is (the share of a typical library it beats), its tier and rank, the full distribution of opinions, and the games players who like it also like or dislike — useful for "how popular / well-liked is X?" and "games similar to X". Pass a Steam appid — resolve names with search_games first. The response links to the game's page you can cite.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| appid | integer | yes | Steam appid of the game (resolve names with search_games). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_games Resolve games to Steam appids ~117
Resolve one or more game names to their Steam appids on needmoar.games. Call this first to turn a title like "Hollow Knight" into the numeric appid the versus and game_detail tools need. Accepts several names at once — pass every game the user mentioned in a single call and match each to its result.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Max matches to return per name (1-10, default 5). |
| queries | array | yes | Game names to look up. Pass every title the user mentioned at once. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
versus Compare two games head-to-head ~126
Head-to-head verdict for two games on needmoar.games: which one players like more, each game's community score (the share of a library it beats) and rank, and the full distribution of opinions on both. Use this to answer "do people prefer A or B?". Pass Steam appids — resolve names with search_games first. The response links to the matching /vs page you can cite.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| appid_a | integer | yes | Steam appid of the first game (resolve names with search_games). |
| appid_b | integer | yes | Steam appid of the second game. |
