MCP support
Exposes 30 tools from the TrueTick public API to MCP clients, including server lifecycle, console, metrics, files, backups, mods, templates, and wallet operations. It does not cover the full API.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMETrueTick MCP Server
Manage TrueTick Minecraft servers directly from an AI agent. This MCP server exposes 30 tools covering the server-facing part of the TrueTick public API — lifecycle, console, metrics and tick history, files, backups, mods, templates and wallet — to Claude and other compatible AI clients.
It is not the whole API: the public surface is 98 operations. Networks, capacity and regions have no tools here at all, and of the account-scoped operations only the wallet is covered (get_wallet) — the ledger, account limits and checkout links are not. For those, call the REST API directly.
Installation & Setup
1. Get an API Key
Visit truetick.gg/dashboard/api-keys to create an API key. Select the scopes you need (e.g., servers:read, servers:write, billing:read).
2. Configure Claude Desktop
Add the following to your Claude Desktop config file (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Mac, or ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Linux):
{
"mcpServers": {
"truetick": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@truetick/mcp"],
"env": {
"TRUETICK_API_KEY": "ttk_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Replace ttk_your_key_here with your actual API key.
3. Configuration
The MCP server reads its configuration from environment variables:
TRUETICK_API_KEY(required): Your TrueTick API key with appropriate scopes.TRUETICK_API_URL(optional, defaults tohttps://api.truetick.gg): The API endpoint. Override for testing against a different environment.
Tool Catalog
Account & Wallet
- whoami — Show the account your API key is bound to.
- list_servers — List all your Minecraft servers.
- get_wallet — Show your wallet balance and recent transactions.
Server Management
- create_server — Create a new Minecraft server (specify name, RAM, server type, version, region, billing plan).
- get_server — Get details of a specific server.
- start_server — Start a stopped server.
- stop_server — Stop a running server.
- restart_server — Restart a running server.
- delete_server — Permanently delete a server and all its data.
- update_server_version — Change the server type and/or version (server must be stopped).
- set_server_properties — Update server.properties keys and optional idle timeout.
- set_server_motd — Set the server's Message of the Day (MOTD).
- list_templates — List the server templates (presets) you can create from.
- create_server_from_template — Create a server from a template preset.
Console & Metrics
- run_command — Run a console (RCON) command on a running server.
- get_server_metrics — Get live TPS/MSPT/player count metrics for a server. Read
tpstogether withtpsSource:TPS_SOURCE_UNSPECIFIEDmeans there is no reading, not zero performance. - get_server_tick_history — One-minute buckets of tick health (default 24h, max 720). Minutes the server slept through have no row at all — a gap is a real gap, never a zero.
- get_recent_logs — Fetch the most recent container log lines for a server (snapshot).
File Management
- list_files — List files in a directory on the server.
- read_file — Read the contents of a file on the server.
- write_file — Write content to a file on the server.
- delete_file — Delete a file on the server.
Backups
- create_backup — Create an on-demand backup of the server.
- list_backups — List available backups for the server.
- restore_backup — Restore a backup (server must be stopped; overwrites current data).
- set_backup_kept — Keep a backup (
kept: true) out of rotation until it is unkept, or put it back (kept: false). Up to 3 per server; kept backups count toward the server's backup space.
Mods & Plugins
- list_mods — List mods/plugins installed on the server.
- add_mod — Add a mod or plugin from Modrinth or CurseForge.
- list_mod_versions — List the builds of a mod or plugin that this server can pin (its loader and Minecraft version only, pre-releases included); pass one as

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.
