Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

AI co-pilot for Foundry VTT: runs combat, scenes, voices and audio. Requires the Familiar module.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Design, images & audio

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "familiar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "familiar-vtt"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add familiar -- npx -y familiar-vtt

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "familiar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "familiar-vtt"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "familiar": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "familiar-vtt"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Familiar safe?

It passed 0 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (2.26.0) reached the registry 33 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.

What can I use instead?

Familiar AI Co-Pilot for Foundry VTT

Familiar is an AI-powered co-pilot module for Foundry VTT. It provides 230 tools across 26 domains, giving your AI assistant direct access to your game world, characters, combat, scenes, journals, audio, and more. It runs a published adventure you have imported; it does not invent the story.

Quick Install

In Foundry VTT, go to Add-on Modules > Install Module > paste the manifest URL:

https://github.com/Ryanjansen92/familiar-releases/releases/latest/download/module.json

Click Install, then enable the module in your game world under Manage Modules.

Beta channel (optional): the next release ahead of time, for checking a reported fix. Same dialog, this manifest URL, then Foundry's Update button keeps you on the newest beta until the stable release overtakes it. Back up your world first; MCP clients run npx -y familiar-vtt@beta.

https://github.com/Ryanjansen92/familiar-releases/releases/download/beta/module.json

Features

Combat Automation (D&D 5e)

  • Resolve attacks, damage, saving throws, and spell effects with full rules enforcement
  • Class features fire as written: Rage, Action Surge, an Extra Attack budget, all ten Metamagic options, the eldritch invocations, and the SRD subclass features
  • Track initiative, conditions, legendary actions, death saves, and concentration
  • Movement validation with speed enforcement and opportunity attack detection
  • Enforcement is a world setting and can be switched off for tables that rule their own way

AI Voices and Sound for NPCs

  • Text-to-speech for any NPC through any of the voice providers listed below, including your own OpenAI-compatible TTS server
  • Assign persistent voices to characters, or let Familiar cast one from the provider's catalogue, so the AI speaks in character during play
  • Short sound effects from your own playlists first, generated when nothing matches; ambience moods switch across your playlists as the scene changes
  • Voice and sound play for the whole table by default, and each spoken line also lands in the chat under the speaker's name. Familiar settings, Voice tab, turns either broadcast off; music and filed tracks still play to everyone through Foundry's playlists
  • Ask for a piece of music and Familiar composes an instrumental track on your ElevenLabs, fal.ai, NanoGPT, or OpenRouter key and files it in a playlist, without starting it

Battle Map Generation

  • Generate battle maps and scene backgrounds using AI image providers
  • Maps are requested at your scene grid's aspect ratio, so they land on the squares
  • Turn a generated map into a scene in one click, then have the AI wall and light it
  • Ask for scenes, tokens, lighting, walls, and tiles in plain words, and Familiar builds and changes them in your world

Live Session Transcription

  • Real-time speech-to-text transcription of your game session
  • Automatic session summaries and journal note creation

Image Generation

  • Generate character portraits, token art, item icons, and handouts on demand, applied straight to the actor or item
  • Familiar turns a still into a short looping clip on your fal.ai key: lay it over the scene as a moving map, or show it to your players
  • Every image, clip, and music track Familiar makes files itself into Familiar Studio, a searchable in-world window. Browse, filter, and sort it, drag art onto the canvas, or type a prompt under the grid to make something new
  • Edit any image you already made from the image itself, or point at the part that should change (OpenAI, fal.ai, OpenRouter)
  • Providers: OpenAI (GPT Image), fal.ai, Leonardo AI, OpenRouter, NanoGPT, Custom (OpenAI-compatible)

World Management

  • Create, read, update, and search actors, items, journals, playlists, macros, and more
  • File many documents into a folder at once, in the sidebar or inside a compendium pack
  • Move items between character sheets, and on D&D 5e move coin too: Familiar makes change and can check the price first
  • Canvas control: drawings, weather, lighting, fog of war

Flexible AI Access

  • Built-in chat window inside Foundry VTT with streaming responses
  • MCP server for use with external AI clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex CLI, the ChatGPT desktop app's Codex tab, Antigravity CLI and Editor, Grok Build CLI, Muse Code)
  • Table Chat: on by default. Players talk to Familiar or to any NPC from the ordinary Foundry chat, under your approval mode, and Familiar posts a short how-to when the world loads. Name one player as the Solo Player and Familiar runs the table as their GM
  • Works with 31 AI providers, from cloud APIs to a local model running on your own machine

Supported Providers

Chat: OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, Mistral, Together AI, DeepSeek, xAI, Cohere, Perplexity, Fireworks AI, Cerebras, SambaNova, NanoGPT, Local / custom server. The local / custom option takes any OpenAI-compatible server.

Voice: ElevenLabs, Cartesia, OpenAI TTS, OpenRouter TTS, NanoGPT TTS, Custom TTS

Image: OpenAI (GPT Image), fal.ai, Leonardo AI, OpenRouter, NanoGPT, Custom (OpenAI-compatible)

Transcription: Gladia, Deepgram, AssemblyAI

Requirements

  • Foundry VTT v13 or later (verified on v14)
  • An API key for at least one supported AI provider
  • A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
  • Node.js 22 or later, for the MCP path only. The built-in chat needs nothing but Foundry
  • A Familiar license: $6 a month or $48 a year, or $99 once. The first two weeks of a subscription are free, every feature unlocked. Subscribe at https://familiarvtt.com
  • Game system: D&D 5e (2024) for the combat rules engine. Every other Foundry system gets the rest: story, NPCs, scenes, audio, music, voices, images, video clips, transcription, campaign memory, and character reads through your own system's sheet. Verified live on Pathfinder 2e, Dragonbane, and Troika.
