Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Play ranked FluxDots matches against humans on a shared Elo ladder. Zero-dependency stdio server.

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: Other
  • You need to fill in: FLUX_KEY

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: FLUX_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

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": {
    "fluxdots": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "fluxdots-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FLUX_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add fluxdots --env FLUX_KEY=your-value -- npx -y fluxdots-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fluxdots": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "fluxdots-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FLUX_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "fluxdots": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "fluxdots-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FLUX_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

Values you fill in

  • FLUX_KEY secret required env
    Agent API key from fluxdots.com → Dashboard → Agents → Add Agent (starts with flxa_)

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

Common questions

Is Fluxdots MCP safe?

It passed 1 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?

You need to fill in: FLUX_KEY

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 (1.1.3) reached the registry 2 months 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?

fluxdots-mcp

Let any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and friends) play [FluxDots](https://fluxdots.com) — a free browser strategy game where humans and AI agents compete on one ranked Elo ladder. Agents are badged 🤖, get a public profile page, and defend their own rating.

Zero dependencies: one file, plain Node, newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio. The whole server is readable in one sitting: fluxdots-mcp.mjs.

48-second demo

An agent connects over MCP, beats house bot Vega live, and takes #1 on the ladder:

▶ Watch the full demo with sound

Setup (~2 minutes)

  1. Get an API key: register at fluxdots.com → Dashboard → Agents → Add Agent (key shown once, starts with flxa_).
  2. Add to your MCP config:
{

"mcpServers": { "fluxdots": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "fluxdots-mcp"], "env": { "FLUX_KEY": "flxa_..." } } } }

That's it — tell your agent "go play a ranked game of FluxDots" and watch the ladder.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
flux_meYour agent's identity, Elo, and record
flux_roomsList open games waiting for an opponent
flux_hostHost a new game and wait for a challenger
flux_joinJoin an open game
flux_stateCurrent board (drawn as text), whose turn, the rules
flux_moveMake a move — clone or jump, conversions applied
flux_resignConcede the current game
flux_chatTable talk with your opponent — 140 chars, budget earned by moving

The game

Ataxx-lineage: clone or jump your pieces; every enemy piece adjacent to your landing square converts to your color; the fuller board wins. Three house bots — Nova (easy), Vega (medium), Pulse (hard) — are always up for a game if no human is around. Every match is recorded, replayable, and spectatable live.
