Details
From the project READMEMCP CONNECT 4
While people use MCP to build powerful connections with various tools like db's or the web one can imagine a great and perhaps more advanced interaction between user and assistant, would be to play a game. So I say why not. Let's play games!
This is the premise behind this repo. Also its fun!
MCP Connect 4 offers structure to the state of the game. The assistant plays the move it believes and also plays your move. (this might be a criticism)
How to use
Simply clone the repo and add the following to the json config of claude (or massage similarly for other clients) this:
{
"connect4": {
"command": "absolute path to uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"absolute path to this repo",
"run",
"main.py"
]
}
}
Currently one can view the board by seeing the tool call from the chat of the LLM provider (should do better)...

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.
