Common questions
Is Antics MCP safe?
It passed 2 of 3 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (0.5.1) reached the registry 44 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

antics-mcp
Multiplayer for your game, in one prompt. An MCP server that lets an AI agent generate a web game and deploy it to a playable multiplayer URL — rooms, live state sync, and leaderboards — inside a single conversation.
AI can write a whole game — a single HTML file or a multi-file project — but it can't stand up a server, so everything it builds is single-player. antics-mcp is the missing piece: your agent writes the game, calls one tool, and hands you back a link your friends can open. No backend, no player accounts.
→ antics.gg · full API in one file: antics.gg/llms.txt
Install
Claude Code:
claude mcp add antics -- npx -y antics-mcpClaude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client — add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor's mcp.json, etc.):
{"mcpServers": { "antics": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "antics-mcp"] } } }
Then just ask: *“Make a 2-player game and deploy it.”* The agent writes it, calls deploy_game, and returns a playable URL — no copy-paste, no site visit, no login.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Login? |
|---|---|---|
| `deploy_game` | Deploy a game (html for a single file, or files for a multi-file project) → returns a playable multiplayer URL. Keyless (ephemeral room) unless given a projectId. | No |
| `create_project` | Create a project; returns its id, publishable key (pk_), and secret key (sk_, shown once). | Yes |
| `get_leaderboard` | Read a project's leaderboard (top scores). | Yes |
| `list_projects` | List your projects. | Yes |
| `set_share_preview` | Brand how a project's room links unfurl on social — title, description, and image. | Yes |
deploy_game works without any login — it returns an ephemeral, keyless URL you can share immediately (rooms hold 8 players and last 24h). To persist links + leaderboards and raise the limits, sign in once with npx antics-cli login (GitHub), then the owner-scoped tools unlock and deploy_game can target a project.
How the multiplayer works
Your agent doesn't need to know any of this up front — antics.gg/llms.txt is the complete API in one file, written so an LLM can integrate it one-shot. In brief: a game calls joinRoom({}), shared room state is host-authoritative with per-player slices, writes coalesce to ~20 Hz, and a leaderboard is one submitScore() call. The deployed game runs at a /r/ URL with an invite link + QR built in.
