BGG MCP: BoardGameGeek MCP Server

\n\n

\n $\"trust$ \n $\"MCP$ \n
\n $\"Go$ \n $\"License\"$ \n $\"MCP$ \n

\n\nBGG MCP provides access to the BoardGameGeek API through the [Model Context Protocol](https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol), enabling retrieval and filtering of board game data, user collections, and profiles. The server is implemented in Go, using the [GoGeek](https://github.com/kkjdaniel/gogeek) library, which helps ensure robust API interactions.\n\nPrice data is provided by [BoardGamePrices.co.uk](https://boardgameprices.co.uk), offering real-time pricing from multiple retailers.\n\nGame recommendations are powered by [Recommend.Games](https://recommend.games/), which provides algorithmic similarity recommendations based on BoardGameGeek data.\n\n\n $\"Powered$ \n\n\n## Demo\n\n

See the [Configuration section](#configuration) below for setup instructions.\n\n### A) Docker (Recommended)\n\nBGG MCP is published to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/kdaniel/bgg-mcp) and listed on the [MCP Registry](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry). Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json` (Claude Desktop) or `settings.json` (VS Code / Cursor):\n\n```json\n\"bgg\": {\n \"command\": \"docker\",\n \"args\": [\"run\", \"-i\", \"--rm\",\n \"-e\", \"BGG_API_KEY\",\n \"-e\", \"BGG_USERNAME\",\n \"kdaniel/bgg-mcp\"\n ],\n \"env\": {\n \"BGG_API_KEY\": \"your_api_key_here\",\n \"BGG_USERNAME\": \"your_bgg_username\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n> See [Configuration](#configuration) below for details on obtaining a BGG API key and setting up your username.\n\nFor more details on connecting MCP servers to your client, see the [official MCP guide](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/connect-local-servers).\n\n### B) Manual Setup\n\n#### 1. Install Go\n\nYou will need to have Go installed on your system to build binary. This can be easily [downloaded and setup here](https://go.dev/doc/install), or you can use the package manager that you prefer such as Brew.\n\n#### 2. Build\n\nThe project includes a Makefile to simplify building and managing the binary.\n\n```bash\n# Build the application (output goes to build/bgg-mcp)\nmake build\n\n# Clean build artifacts\nmake clean\n\n# Both clean and build\nmake all\n```\n\nOr you can simply build it directly with Go...\n\n```bash\ngo build -o build/bgg-mcp\n```\n\n#### 3. Add MCP Config\n\nIn the `settings.json` (VS Code / Cursor) or `claude_desktop_config.json` add the following to your list of servers, pointing it to the binary you created earlier, once you load up your AI tool you should see the tools provided by the server connected:\n\n```json\n\"bgg\": {\n \"command\": \"path/to/build/bgg-mcp\",\n \"args\": [\"-mode\", \"stdio\"]\n}\n```\n\nMore details for configuring Claude can be [found here](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user).\n\n## Configuration\n\n### Authentication\n\nBGG MCP v2.0+ uses the GoGeek v2.0 library which requires authentication for reliable access to BoardGameGeek's API.\n\nYou can configure authentication using **either** `BGG_API_KEY` (recommended) or `BGG_COOKIE`:\n\n#### Authentication Setup\n\n##### Option 1: API Key (Recommended)\n\nGet an API key from [BoardGameGeek's API application form](https://boardgamegeek.com/applications) and add it to your configuration:\n\n```json\n\"bgg\": {\n \"env\": {\n \"BGG_API_KEY\": \"your_api_key_here\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n##### Option 2: Cookie Authentication\n\nAlternatively, you can use cookie-based authentication:\n\n```json\n\"bgg\": {\n \"env\": {\n \"BGG_COOKIE\": \"bggusername=user; bggpassword=pass; SessionID=xyz\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Note**: If both are provided, `BGG_API_KEY` will be used by default.\n\n### Username Configuration\n\nYou can optionally set the `BGG_USERNAME` environment variable to enable \"me\" and \"my\" references in queries without needing to explicitly state your username:\n\n```json\n\"bgg\": {\n \"env\": {\n \"BGG_USERNAME\": \"your_bgg_username\",\n \"BGG_API_KEY\": \"your_api_key_here\"\n }\n}\n```\n\nThis enables:\n\n- **Collection queries**: \"Show my collection\" instead of specifying your username\n- **User queries**: \"Show my BGG profile\"\n- **AI assistance**: The AI can automatically use your username for comparisons and analysis\n\n**Note**: When you use self-references (me, my, I) without setting BGG_USERNAME, you'll get a clear error message.\n","changelogMarkdown","videoKey","requiredSecretsJson","publishedAt","priceCents","trialDays",0,"categoryDisplayName","Developer Tools","upstream",{"_95":96,"_97":98,"_99":100,"_101":102,"_103":-5},"requiredSecrets",[],"tags",[],"assets",[],"stats",{"_93":80,"_94":80},"ratingAvg","reviewCount","topics",[104,105,106,107,108,109,110],"license","MIT","language","Go","registryName","ai.smithery/kkjdaniel-bgg-mcp","homepage","bgg","bgg-api","board-game","boardgamegeek","boardgames","mcp","mcp-server","ENV",{"_113":114,"_115":116,"_117":118},"ENVIRONMENT","production","TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY","0x4AAAAAAB8-rEI2gNDf_QhU","SENTRY_DSN","https://45fd1229f78089d5c3ee78be128030e1@o4510583261757440.ingest.de.sentry.io/4510584253448272"]
