MCP-TRPG-Game Server

An advanced MCP (Model Context Protocol) powered TRPG (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) server designed for automated, AI-driven adventures. This project leverages the revolutionary MCP technology to seamlessly connect Large Language Models (LLMs) with game mechanics, creating an intelligent AI Keeper (KP) that can dynamically lead, narrate, and manage immersive gaming sessions.

🛣️ Roadmap / Future Goals

• [ ] TRPG MCP Client — UI for dice, character, multiplayer, and more
• [ ] Import Your Own Scenarios — Custom scenario CSV import & editor
• [ ] Multi-Player Support — Multiple players, sessions, real-time

Key Features

• MCP-powered AI Keeper: Automated, intelligent game master
• Rich MCP toolset: Character, scenario, skill, dice, and event management
• Fast character creation and editing
• Flexible scenario and scene system
• Keeper assistant: NPC dialogue, scene description, random events
• Skill, attribute, sanity checks with dice rolling
• Persistent game records (SQLite)
• CSV seed data for easy import
• Modular service architecture
• Instant game start: Just type "I want to start playing TRPG"
• Language: Traditional Chinese (zh-TW), i18n planned

Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Install .NET 10.0 SDK

   • Download and install .NET 10.0 SDK

2. MCP-Compatible AI Client (Optional for enhanced AI integration)

   • Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code with MCP extensions, or other MCP-enabled clients
   • This enables seamless AI interaction with the TRPG server through MCP protocol

Setup & Launch

3. Build the Project

   if you are version 1, please delete ./trpg.db file first
   

   and

   dotnet build
   

4. Run the MCP-Enabled TRPG Server

   <details open> <summary><b>Cursor</b></summary>

   Go to: Settings -> Cursor Settings -> Tools & MCP You should see trpg-mcp in the list and enable it. If you don’t see it, click New MCP Server and copy and paste the JSON below.

   {
   	"mcpServers": {
   		"trpg-mcp": {
   			"type": "stdio",
   			"command": "dotnet",
   			"args": [
   				"run" ,
   				"--project",
   				"src/ToolBox/ToolBox.csproj",
   				"--stdio"
   			]
   		}
   	}
   }
   

   if you want to use http mode

   dotnet run --project src/ToolBox/ToolBox.csproj
   

   {
   	"mcpServers": {
   		"trpg-mcp": {
   			"type": "http",
   			"url": "http://localhost:5000/mcp"
   		}
   	}
   }
   

   </details> <details open> <summary><b>VS Code</b></summary>

   Press F1 and enter MCP: List Servers.
   You should see trpg-mcp in the list—click to start the server.
   If you don’t see it, press F1 and enter MCP: Open User Configuration, then copy and paste the JSON below.

   {
   	"servers": {
   		"trpg-mcp": {
   			"type": "stdio",
   			"command": "dotnet",
   			"args": [
   				"run" ,
   				"--project",
   				"src/ToolBox/ToolBox.csproj",
   				"--stdio"
   			]
   		}
   	}
   }
   

   if you want to use http mode

   dotnet run --project src/ToolBox/ToolBox.csproj
   

   {
   	"servers": {
   		"trpg-mcp": {
   			"type": "http",
   			"url": "http://localhost:5000/mcp"
   		}
   	}
   }
   

   </details>

5. Default Database

   • Uses SQLite (trpg.db) by default. The database is auto-created on first run.

6. API Testing

   • Use MCPTRPGGame.http for sample API requests and testing.

7. Quick Game Start with MCP

   • Players can directly send the command "I want to start playing TRPG" via MCP-enabled clients
   • The AI Keeper instantly accesses game tools through MCP to launch dynamic sessions
