MCP SGF Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for processing SGF (Smart Game Format) files. Extract game information and generate visual board diagrams with.

Features

Extract comprehensive game information from SGF files
Generate visual board diagrams with customizable themes and formats
High performance: ≤200ms for game info, ≤500ms for diagrams
Robust validation with detailed error handling
TypeScript strict mode with 100% type safety
91.73% test coverage with 139 comprehensive tests
Multiple output formats: PNG and SVG support
Customizable themes: Classic, modern, and minimal styles

Quick Start

NPX (Recommended)

Start the MCP server instantly without installation:

npx mcp-sgf

The server will start and listen for MCP protocol connections on stdio.

Installation

Install globally for repeated use:

npm install -g mcp-sgf
mcp-sgf

Development Setup

Clone and set up for development:

git clone <repository-url>
cd mcp-sgf
npm install
npm run build
npm start

Client Configuration

To use this server with MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, etc.), add the following configuration:

Claude Desktop Configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sgf": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-sgf"]
    }
  }
}

Alternative with local installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sgf": {
      "command": "mcp-sgf"
    }
  }
}

Usage

The MCP SGF server provides two main tools that can be called via the MCP protocol:

1. Extract Game Information (`get-sgf-info`)

Extract comprehensive metadata from SGF files including player information, game rules, and results.

{
  "tool": "get-sgf-info",
  "arguments": {
    "sgfContent": "(;FF[4]GM[1]SZ[19]PB[Lee Sedol]PW[AlphaGo]BR[9p]WR[-]KM[7.5]RE[W+R]DT[2016-03-09];B[pd];W[dp];B[cd];W[qp])"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "gameInfo": {
      "playerBlack": "Lee Sedol",
      "playerWhite": "AlphaGo",
      "blackRank": "9p",
      "whiteRank": "-",
      "boardSize": 19,
      "komi": 7.5,
      "result": "W+R",
      "date": "2016-03-09",
      "fileFormat": 4,
      "gameType": 1
    },
    "metadata": {
      "totalMoves": 4,
      "boardSize": 19,
      "hasValidStructure": true
    },
    "warnings": []
  }
}

2. Generate Board Diagrams (`get-sgf-diagram`)

Create visual board diagrams showing game positions with customizable appearance.

{
  "tool": "get-sgf-diagram", 
  "arguments": {
    "sgfContent": "(;FF[4]GM[1]SZ[19];B[pd];W[dp];B[cd];W[qp];B[ed];W[fq])",
    "moveNumber": 4,
    "width": 800,
    "height": 800,
    "theme": "modern",
    "coordLabels": true,
    "moveNumbers": false,
    "format": "png"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "mimeType": "image/png",
    "width": 800,
    "height": 800,
    "movesCovered": 4,
    "boardSize": 19,
    "parameters": {
      "moveNumber": 4,
      "format": "png",
      "theme": "modern"
    }
  }
}

The response includes base64-encoded image data with the specified MIME type.
