Getting Started

• Follow the instructions of the game server to start it locally: https://github.com/tonypan2/minesweeper-server

• Build the MCP server:

npm install
npm run build

• Configure your MCP client to add the tool. For example, here is how to add the tool to Claude Desktop on Windows's claude_desktop_config.json, assuming you cloned the repo at C:\path\to\repo\minesweeper-mcp-server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\repo\\minesweeper-mcp-server\\build\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "*"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Claude Desktop: Restart Claude Desktop to let it pick up the tools. Be sure to quit from the tray menu icon, not from the app (which simply hides the window). If you click the Tools icon, it should show the new tools.
