Verified with

Claude Code 2.1 (claude mcp list shows it connected), Codex CLI 0.167 (codex mcp add / codex mcp list), and the official MCP SDK client (test.mjs, 16 checks). Cursor and Claude Desktop configs follow their official docs.

Then ask

• "Add hit-stop to my game."

• "Remake Neon Drift, but underwater."

• "Find AI-made racing games for inspiration."

Tools

There is also a remake prompt: pick a recipe id and a theme.

What you may reuse

• Playbook recipes and mechanics are Playbook's own work, MIT licensed. Remake them freely; a credit link is appreciated.

• Games under Discover (kind: web) belong to their creators. The server only returns links, credits and descriptions for them. Your agent should not copy their code or assets.

Data

The server reads the public Playbook API (static JSON): https://rexgu9911.github.io/playbook/api/. Set PLAYBOOK_API to point it elsewhere, e.g. a local copy of the site.

PLAYBOOK_API=http://localhost:4392/api node test.mjs   # run the end-to-end checks
