14 tools for The Game Crafter's print-on-demand platform. Browse component catalogs, create game projects, add card decks and boards, upload artwork, and get instant pricing — the only MCP server for tabletop game manufacturing.
npm MCP Registry License: MIT CI alex-gon/thegamecrafter-mcp-server MCP server
An MCP server that connects AI assistants to The Game Crafter API, letting you design, manage, and price tabletop games through natural conversation.
Browse the component catalog, create game projects, add card decks and boards, upload artwork, and get instant pricing estimates — all through your AI assistant.
Indie board game designers, tabletop creators, and TGC users who want to manage their projects through an AI assistant instead of navigating the TGC web interface manually.
Connect to the hosted server at:
https://chillbot3000--tgc-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp
No local setup required. Provide your TGC credentials when you call the authenticate tool. Usage is billed per operation via Apify's pay-per-event model (~$0.09 per typical session).
Also available on Glama Connectors.
Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):
{
"mcpServers": {
"thegamecrafter": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@alex-gon/tgc-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"TGC_API_KEY_ID": "your-api-key-id",
"TGC_USERNAME": "your-tgc-username",
"TGC_PASSWORD": "your-tgc-password"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The server will be downloaded automatically and appear in your MCP connections.

cd thegamecrafter-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build
