Click on "Deploy 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., "@PokeAPI MCP Server What are the base stats of Pikachu?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Server: io.github.Asthanaji05/pokeapi-mcp-server
npm package: pokeapi-mcp-server
This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to make tool calls for Pokémon-related data. It integrates with the PokeAPI to offer access to 47 different Pokémon-related endpoints.
The PokeAPI MCP Server acts as a bridge, allowing AI assistants to fetch and utilize comprehensive Pokémon data directly from the PokeAPI. This facilitates the development of intelligent applications that require accurate and up-to-date information about Pokémon, moves, items, game mechanics, and more.

npm install -g pokeapi-mcp-serverAfter installation, add the server to your MCP client configuration:
Add to Claude>claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
]
}
}
}Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
]
}
}
}
Or if installed globally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
]
}
}
}
Add to .gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pokemon-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"--yes",
"pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
],
"transport": "stdio",
"trust": true,
"env": {
"MCP_HTTP_SERVER_URL": "https://pokemon-mcp-server-vs8m.onrender.com"
}
}
}
}Note: The
envsection ensures the MCP server connects to the correct HTTP server. The remote server athttps://pokemon-mcp-server-vs8m.onrender.comis available by default. If you're running a local HTTP server on port 3000, change the URL tohttp://localhost:3000. Restart Cursor IDE or Gemini CLI after updating the configuration to load the MCP server.

Scored across 47 tools
Each tool targets a distinct Pokemon entity type (ability, berry, etc.), with no overlap in purpose. An agent can clearly differentiate them.
All tools follow a strict 'getXByName' or 'getXById' pattern, ensuring predictable and uniform naming.
With 47 tools, the server is quite heavy. While it covers many entity types, the count is high for a typical MCP server and may overwhelm agents, though it is scoped to a single domain.
The server provides read-only access to a wide range of Pokemon data, but lacks listing, search, or mutation capabilities. This limits its completeness for dynamic workflows.
Discover, inspect and run 63,000+ agent tools from one balance. Pay per call, no subscriptions.
660+ data tools for agents: TikTok, Douyin, Instagram, YouTube, X, weather, GitHub. Pay per call.
Exactly 50 data transformation and live web verification tools for AI agents.
Pay-per-call tools for AI assistants: code, data, finance, spreadsheets, media, web, time.
