Common questions
Is framebench safe?
It passed 2 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

framebench MCP server
Ask whether a machine can run a game, and get a number back.
framebench answers "can this PC or Mac run this game" with an estimated fps range for any GPU or Apple Silicon chip across the most played games on Steam, plus which component limits you and the settings that raise it. Every response carries a citable URL.
- Hosted endpoint:
https://framebench.app/mcp(Streamable HTTP) — no key, no account - Website: https://framebench.app · Docs: https://framebench.app/mcp-docs/
- Official MCP Registry:
app.framebench/framebench
Use it
Most clients can point straight at the hosted endpoint:
{
"mcpServers": { "framebench": { "url": "https://framebench.app/mcp" } } }
For clients that only support local (stdio) servers, this repo is a dependency-free bridge:
{
"mcpServers": { "framebench": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "framebench-mcp"] } } }
Or with Docker:
docker build -t framebench-mcp . && docker run --rm -i framebench-mcp
Tools
check_game
Can this rig run this game? Returns an fps range (never a single number or a fake percentage), the limiting component, levers that change the outcome, a confidence label, and a canonical URL.

Two GPUs, two CPUs, or a GPU against an Apple chip, on one performance index, with spec facts.

Given a rig and a target (game, resolution, fps), the smallest upgrades that clear it, ranked.
How the numbers work
Estimates are modelled, not measured, and the site says so. Ranges come from a curated performance index (desktop RTX 3060 = 100) scaled against each game's official Steam requirements, and widen as confidence drops. Hard rules: laptop GPUs are separate parts with their own TGP bands rather than aliases of desktop cards; Windows-only games on Apple Silicon get an explicit translation-layer estimate instead of a silently copied PC number; VRAM and unified-memory cliffs override the model.
