Why AINPCEngine

• Persistent memory — NPCs remember every player across sessions: names, debts, favors, grudges

• Dynamic personalities — traits, moods, daily schedules, secrets; NPCs stay in character

• Full game-event coverage — dialogue, combat, trade, and quest events through one API

• AI persona generation — generate a complete NPC (backstory, traits, speech style) from a role

• NPC voice (TTS) — give any NPC a voice via the speak endpoint

• REST + WebSocket — request/response or realtime streaming, your choice

• Agent-native — 49 MCP tools; coding agents can create and manage NPCs end-to-end

• SDKs for every engine — Unity, Unreal, Godot, Rust, Node.js, plus a CLI

MCP Server

49 tools for AI agents: NPC CRUD, dialogue, game events, persona generation, studio account, usage and billing.

Local (stdio):

{ "mcpServers": { "ainpcengine": { "type": "stdio", "command": "ainpc", "args": ["mcp-serve"] } } }

Requires npm install -g ainpc-cli + ainpc login --key npk_YOUR_KEY --game my-rpg (or AINPC_API_KEY env).

Remote (SSE, zero install) — for Claude Web and other web-based agents:

{ "mcpServers": { "ainpcengine": { "type": "sse", "url": "https://mcp.ainpcengine.com/sse",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer npk_YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

No key yet? Connect keyless — the remote server starts in onboarding mode and an agent can self-signup via the ainpc_signup tool.
