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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 695 tokens (~231/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 ~153
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". Also, in the players' own words, what they liked about it and what kept them from ranking it higher (short tags with counts), once enough players said so. 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. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
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.
