- 01Fetches gaming information via the Steam API
- 02Exposes Steam data through the MCP protocol
- 03Configured with a STEAM_API_KEY environment variable
- 04Runs as a Docker image
Use cases
- 01Letting an AI assistant query a user's gaming activity
- 02Supplying gaming preferences as context for recommendations
- 03Building and debugging the service in a local development environment
MCP support
This is an MCP server that wraps Steam data and exposes it to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/dsp/mcp-server-steam:latestLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
ghcr.io/dsp/mcp-server-steam:lateststdioTools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
