helldivers2-mcp
Provides tools to retrieve Steam news for Helldivers 2, including article titles, URLs, publish dates, and full content.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@helldivers2-mcpWhat are the current major orders?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
helldivers2-mcp
A stateless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes live Helldivers 2 galactic war data to LLMs.
Data is sourced from the community API at api.helldivers2.dev.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Galaxy-wide war statistics (kills by faction, missions won/lost, accuracy, deaths, impact multiplier) and active planets with owner, player count, active events, attack vectors, and region health |
| Active Major Orders with title, briefing, decoded task list (faction, difficulty, target planet), current progress numbers, reward type and amount, and time until expiry |
| Full planet list with IDs, names, and sectors |
| Detailed per-planet info: biome, hazards, initial/current owner, health, waypoints, active events, full combat statistics, attacking planets, and regions (up to 5 planets per call) |
| In-game dispatch feed — High Command broadcasts with published date (relative time) and message text; optional |
| Steam news for Helldivers 2 with title, URL, publish date (relative time), and full article content; optional |
| DSS details: current host planet (full planet info), time until next election, and active tactical actions with name, description, status, planet effects, and resource costs |

Endpoints
Method | Path | Description |
|
| MCP Streamable HTTP transport endpoint |
|
| Liveness check — returns |
The server uses the stateless Streamable HTTP transport. Each POST /mcp request creates a fresh McpServer + transport pair, handles the request, then tears them down. There is no session state.
Usage in Code
Call the MCP server directly over HTTP using the Streamable HTTP transport. Each request is a JSON-RPC tools/call message sent to POST /mcp.
JavaScript / TypeScript
Using the official MCP TypeScript SDK:
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js";
const client = new Client({ name: "my-app", version: "1.0.0" });
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://mcp.avengersofsuperearth.com/mcp")
);
await client.connect(transport);
// List available tools
const { tools } = await client.listTools();
console.log(tools.map((t) => t.name));
// Get current war status
const warStatus = await client.callTool({
name: "get_war_status",
arguments: {},
});
console.log(warStatus.content[0].text);
// Get details for specific planets by index (up to 5)
const planets = await client.callTool({
name: "get_planet_details",
arguments: { planetindices: [57, 153] },
});
console.log(planets.content[0].text);
await client.close();Without the SDK — raw JSON-RPC over fetch:
async function callTool(name: string, args: Record<string, unknown> = {}) {
const res = await fetch("https://mcp.avengersofsuperearth.com/mcp", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json, text/event-stream",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
jsonrpc: "2.0",
id: 1,
method: "tools/call",
params: { name, arguments: args },
}),
});
const text = await res.text();
// The response is an SSE frame ("event: message\ndata: {json}\n\n");
// concatenate its data line(s) to recover the JSON-RPC payload.
const json = text
.split("\n")
.filter((line) => line.startsWith("data:"))
.map((line) => line.slice(5).trim())
.join("");
const data = JSON.parse(json);
return data.result.content[0].text;
}
const status = await callTool("get_war_status");
const assignments = await callTool("get_assignments");
const dispatches = await callTool("get_dispatches", { limit: 5 });
const planets = await callTool("get_planet_details", { planetindices: [57, 153] });Python
Using the official MCP Python SDK:
import asyncio
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client
async def main():
async with streamablehttp_client("https://mcp.avengersofsuperearth.com/mcp") as (read, write, _):
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
await session.initialize()
# List available tools
tools = await session.list_tools()
print([t.name for t in tools.tools])
# Get current war status
result = await session.call_tool("get_war_status", {})
print(result.content[0].text)
# Get details for specific planets by index (up to 5)
result = await session.call_tool(
"get_planet_details",
{"planetindices": [57, 153]},
)
print(result.content[0].text)
asyncio.run(main())Without the SDK — raw JSON-RPC over httpx:
import httpx
MCP_URL = "https://mcp.avengersofsuperearth.com/mcp"
def call_tool(name: str, arguments: dict = {}) -> str:
payload = {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {"name": name, "arguments": arguments},
}
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json, text/event-stream",
}
response = httpx.post(MCP_URL, json=payload, headers=headers)
response.raise_for_status()
import json
# The response is an SSE frame ("event: message\ndata: {json}\n\n");
# concatenate its data line(s) to recover the JSON-RPC payload.
text = "".join(
line[5:].strip()
for line in response.text.splitlines()
if line.startswith("data:")
)
return json.loads(text)["result"]["content"][0]["text"]
status = call_tool("get_war_status")
assignments = call_tool("get_assignments")
planets = call_tool("get_planet_details", {"planetindices": [57, 153]})Connecting to Claude Desktop
