Pokemon MCP Server
A MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects to two APIs — PokéAPI for live Pokémon data and the Wikipedia REST API (free, no key needed) for real-world animal facts — and exposes tools that an LLM (like Claude) can use to fetch, explore, and battle Pokémon.
Built with FastMCP and httpx.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Get detailed info (types, abilities, stats) for any Pokémon by name |
| List popular tournament-ready Pokémon picks |
| Build a powerful 6-Pokémon squad for a tournament |
| Find top 5 Pokémon of a given type (e.g. fire, water, psychic) with stats |
| Simulate a 1v1 battle between two Pokémon based on their stats |
| Find which real animal a Pokémon resembles, with fun facts pulled from the Wikipedia API |
How pokemon_real_animal Works
For animal data, the tool uses the Wikipedia API (free, no API key needed) to pull real-world animal facts. Here's how it works:
Uses a hardcoded mapping of Pokémon → real animal (e.g. Pikachu → Mouse, Garchomp → Hammerhead Shark)
Hits Wikipedia's REST API to fetch a summary about that animal
Returns a fun comparison alongside the Pokémon's stats
Covers 60+ Pokémon with known real-world inspirations.
