What is Minesweeper MCP Server?

Minesweeper MCP Server is a server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), specifically designed to control the Minesweeper game. It serves as a bridge between AI assistants (such as Claude) and the Minesweeper game Web/API, enabling AI to operate the Minesweeper game like a human player, including all standard operations such as starting a new game, uncovering cells, marking mines, etc.

How to use Minesweeper MCP Server?

Before use, ensure that the Rails Minesweeper API server is running. Then configure this server in the MCP Host (such as Claude Desktop), and the AI assistant can control the Minesweeper game through natural language instructions. For example, you can tell the AI 'Start a new game' or 'Uncover the cell in the 3rd row and 4th column'.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for AI game testing, algorithm demonstration, educational purposes, or any scenario that requires AI to interact with the Minesweeper game. Developers can use it to test AI game strategies, and educators can use it to demonstrate how AI solves logical problems.

Main features

Complete game control
Supports all standard operations of the Minesweeper game: starting a new game, uncovering cells, marking/unmarking mines, chord operations (quickly uncovering surrounding cells), ending the game, etc.
Multiple difficulty levels
Supports three preset difficulty levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, as well as custom game settings (custom board size and number of mines).
AI assistant integration
Seamlessly integrates with AI assistants such as Claude through the MCP protocol. AI can understand natural language instructions and perform corresponding game operations.
Real - time game feedback
Returns the complete game state after each operation, including detailed information such as the board layout, the number of remaining mines, and the game status (in progress/win/lose).
Advantages
No manual operation required: AI can fully control the game, freeing your hands
Standardized interface: Provides a unified operation interface through the REST API
Easy to integrate: Supports any AI assistant compatible with the MCP protocol
Flexible configuration: Supports local and remote API servers
Complete game functions: Covers all standard operations of the Minesweeper game
Limitations
Depends on external API: Requires the Rails Minesweeper API server to run normally
Configuration requirements: Requires correct setting of environment variables and MCP Host configuration
Network dependency: Remote API requires a stable network connection
Learning curve: Non - technical users may need guidance to complete the initial configuration

How to use

Environment preparation
Ensure that Node.js version 22+ is installed and the Rails Minesweeper API server is running.
Set environment variables
Configure the API server address and authentication token.
Configure MCP Host
Add the Minesweeper MCP server to the configuration file of Claude Desktop or Claude Code.
Start using
Restart the MCP Host, and then you can operate the Minesweeper game through the AI assistant.

Usage examples

AI - assisted gaming
Let the AI play the Minesweeper game for you, and you can observe the AI's strategies and decision - making processes.
Game algorithm testing
Test different Minesweeper solving algorithms and observe their performance at various difficulty levels.
Teaching demonstration
Show students the logical reasoning process of the Minesweeper game.
