This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to make tool calls for Pokémon-related data. It integrates with the PokeAPI to offer access to 47 different Pokémon-related endpoints.
Project Overview
The PokeAPI MCP Server acts as a bridge, allowing AI assistants to fetch and utilize comprehensive Pokémon data directly from the PokeAPI. This facilitates the development of intelligent applications that require accurate and up-to-date information about Pokémon, moves, items, game mechanics, and more.
Available Tools
The server provides 47 Pokémon-related tools, covering a wide range of data:
- Pokémon Data:
getPokemonByName,getPokemonSpeciesByName,getPokemonFormByName,getPokemonColorByName,getPokemonHabitatByName,getPokemonShapeByName. - Moves:
getMoveByName,getMoveCategoryByName,getMoveDamageClassByName,getMoveAilmentByName,getMoveBattleStyleByName,getMoveLearnMethodByName,getMoveTargetByName. - Items:
getItemByName,getItemCategoryByName,getItemAttributeByName,getItemFlingEffectByName,getItemPocketByName. - Game Mechanics:

getLocationByName,getLocationAreaByName,getEncounterMethodByName,getEncounterConditionByName,getEncounterConditionValueByName. - Berries:
getBerryByName,getBerryFirmnessByName,getBerryFlavorByName. - Contests:
getContestTypeByName,getContestEffectById,getSuperContestEffectById. - Evolution:
getEvolutionChainById,getEvolutionTriggerByName. - Other:
getCharacteristicById,getMachineById,getPalParkAreaByName,getPokeathlonStatByName,getRegionByName.
🚀 Installation
Global Installation
npm install -g pokeapi-mcp-server
⚙️ Configuration
After installation, add the server to your MCP client configuration:
For Claude Desktop
Add to Claude>claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"[email protected]"
]
}
}
}
For Cursor IDE
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"[email protected]"
]
}
}
}
Or if installed globally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"[email protected]"
]
}
}
}
For Gemini CLI
Add to .gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"--yes",
"[email protected]"
],
"transport": "stdio",
"trust": true,
"env": {
"MCP_HTTP_SERVER_URL": "https://pokemon-mcp-server-vs8m.onrender.com"
}
}
}
}
Note: The
envsection ensures the MCP server connects to the correct HTTP server. The remote server athttps://pokemon-mcp-server-vs8m.onrender.comis available by default. If you're running a local HTTP server on port 3000, change the URL tohttp://localhost:3000. Restart Cursor IDE or Gemini CLI after updating the configuration to load the MCP server.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
