search_mods, search mods by name across all games
get_mod, description, author, game, downloads, file size, download link
get_game_mods, the latest mods for a game id (find ids via get_mod on any of that game's mods, the mod page shows its game)

Run

npm install && npm run build && node dist/index.js

Example

search_mods("Brutal Doom") → pick a mod id → get_mod(<id>) shows the game id → get_game_mods(<gameId>) for the full feed.

Quick start

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

The server uses stdio, so it can be connected to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, MCP Inspector, or another compatible MCP client.

Limits and privacy

This project is intentionally narrow. It should be treated as a practical helper, not a complete certification or security audit. Check the implementation and the returned data before using it with sensitive material. No credentials are required unless the project explicitly says otherwise.

Try it

After building, connect the server through your MCP client. The repository root also contains smoke-test.mjs for projects covered by the shared harness. A typical tool call starts with search_mods.

Premium tools

These tools need a license key:

mod_files
mod_stats
mod_previews

Buy a key at https://mcp-marketplace.io/server/io-github-mrfentmen-gamebanana-mcp and set it in your MCP client config:

"env": { "MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "mcp_live_..." }

The key is checked against MCP Marketplace, cached for 24 hours, and keeps working offline once one check has succeeded. Every other tool on this server stays free.
