Description

This MCP server integrates Lichess with the Model Context Protocol to enable natural-language interaction with the Lichess platform (works well with Claude Desktop). It supports account management, creating challenges and moves, exporting/analyzing games, and managing tournaments and teams. It requires a Lichess API token (provided via environment variable or runtime tool) and includes setup instructions for local and Claude Desktop integration. The server is a community-built integration to simplify automating and scripting Lichess workflows through agents.
