The Poke-MCP server provides Pokémon information through MCP-compatible tools. You can:
Get detailed information about a specific Pokémon by name
Get a random Pokémon with
random-pokemonGet a random Pokémon from a specific region (e.g., Kanto, Johto) with
random-pokemon-from-regionGet a random Pokémon of a specific type (e.g., Fire, Water) with
random-pokemon-by-typeAnswer natural language Pokémon queries with
pokemon-query
Overview
Poke-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Pokémon information through a standardized interface. It connects to the PokeAPI to fetch Pokémon data and exposes it through MCP tools that can be used by any MCP-compatible client, such as Claude Desktop App, Continue, Cline, and others.
Features
Get information about specific Pokémon by name
Discover random Pokémon
Find random Pokémon from specific regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, etc.)
Get random Pokémon of specific types (Fire, Water, Electric, etc.)
Natural language query interface for Pokémon information
How It Works
Poke-MCP is built using the Model Context Protocol, which enables AI applications to access external tools and data sources in a standardized way. The server:
Connects to the PokeAPI to fetch Pokémon data
Exposes several tools through the MCP interface
Processes requests from MCP clients
Returns formatted Pokémon information
MCP Tools
The server provides the following tools:
get-pokemon: Get detailed information about a specific Pokémon by name
random-pokemon: Get information about a random Pokémon
random-pokemon-from-region: Get a random Pokémon from a specific region
random-pokemon-by-type: Get a random Pokémon of a specific type
pokemon-query: Answer natural language queries about Pokémon
Architecture
The server is built using:
TypeScript
MCP TypeScript SDK (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk)
Zod for input validation
Standard I/O transport for MCP communication
Installation
Installing via Smithery
To install Pokémcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @NaveenBandarage/poke-mcp --client claude
Manual Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/poke-mcp.git
cd poke-mcp
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
Usage
With Claude Desktop App
Download and install Claude Desktop App
Open Claude Desktop settings
Go to Developer settings and edit the config file
Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokedex": {
"command": "path/to/poke-mcp/build/index.js"
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop
You should now see the Pokémon tools available in Claude
Example Queries
Once connected to an MCP client, you can ask questions like:
"Tell me about Pikachu"
"Give me a random Pokémon"
"Show me a random Pokémon from Kanto"
"What's a random Water Pokémon?"

PokeAPI for providing the Pokémon data
Model Context Protocol for the standardized interface
This project demonstrates how to build custom MCP servers that can extend AI assistants with domain-specific knowledge and capabilities.
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
A Model Context Protocol server that provides Pokémon information by connecting to the PokeAPI, enabling users to query detailed Pokémon data, discover random Pokémon, and find Pokémon by region or type.
