First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `preflop_versions` (~42 tokens)

List preflop strategy versions

The selectable preflop_version values (id + human label) and which is the default. Free (no quota). Call this before assuming a version id.

### `preflop_strategy` (~195 tokens)

Preflop GTO strategy for a hand

GTO mixed strategy (fold/call/raise frequencies + sizes) for a specific hand facing a preflop action line, 6-max 100bb. Charges 1 presolved quota. The situation (RFI/3-bet/4-bet/...) is derived from the actions.

Input parameters:

- `hero` (string, required): hero position: UTG / MP / CO / BTN / SB / BB
- `hole_cards` (string, required): hero's two cards, e.g. 'AhKh'
- `preflop_actions` (array, required): full action sequence including blinds, e.g. [{position:'SB',action:'small blind',amount:0.5},{position:'BB',action:'big blind',amount:1},{position:'UTG',action:'raise',amount:3}]
- `preflop_version` (string): chart-set id from preflop_versions; omit for the default

### `preflop_range` (~150 tokens)

Whole preflop range for a spot

The full 169-hand-type range (fold/call/raise per hand type: AA, AKs, AKo, ...) for a position + action line. No hole_cards. Charges 1 presolved quota (one call, not 169).

Input parameters:

- `hero` (string, required): the position whose range you want: UTG / MP / CO / BTN / SB / BB
- `preflop_actions` (array, required): action sequence incl. blinds; the range is for `hero` acting after these actions
- `preflop_version` (string): chart-set id from preflop_versions; omit for the default
- `table_size` (string): defaults to '6max'

### `flop_tree` (~221 tokens)

Flop decision tree

Starting ranges + every decision node for a flop spot. In the response each node has `node`, its path (e.g. root/CHECK), and `token`; pass `token` as the `node` argument of flop_node. Charges 1 presolved quota. Single-street (for turn/river use the solver tools).

Input parameters:

- `board` (string, required): the 3 flop cards, e.g. '2c2h2s'
- `flop_version` (string): flop dataset id, same values as preflop_versions; omit for the default dataset (6max). Some boards have no data in the default dataset: the call returns 404 and still charges 1 presolved quota, so re…
- `positions` (object, required): roles→positions. SRP: {hero,raiser,caller}; 3BET/4BET: {hero,raiser,three_bettor}; LIMP: {hero,limper} (hero or limper must be BB)
- `pot_type` (string, required)

### `flop_node` (~85 tokens)

Flop node strategy

Strategy at one flop decision-tree node. Pass a `node` token minted by flop_tree. With hole_cards → that hand's mixed strategy at the node; omit → the node's whole-range strategy. Free (token-gated).

Input parameters:

- `hole_cards` (string): optional hero hand, e.g. 'AdKd'
- `node` (string, required): node token from flop_tree

## Common questions

### What is the Pokerai API MCP server?

Pokerai API is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pokerai-bet/mcp. Solver-grade GTO strategy for study. Real-time assistance (RTA) at real-money tables is prohibited. This page covers its npm package (@pokerai/mcp).

### Is the Pokerai API MCP server safe to use?

Pokerai API scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against 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 Pokerai API MCP server expose?

Pokerai API exposes 5 tools: preflop_versions, preflop_strategy, preflop_range, flop_tree, flop_node. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 693 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Pokerai API MCP server still maintained?

Pokerai API 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 Pokerai API MCP server under?

Pokerai API 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 Pokerai API MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Pokerai API, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. 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.
