I have already had created partial mcp support where AI calls Lichess directly but thats more for end user, I think for chess devs it be helpful but I can't just open source it without permission

#

thanks

I can just tell my agent to review the Lichess API on the Web and it does a great job looking up all the entry points, required arguments and expected results. I do this with copilot, but I expect all the coding agents can look up docs on the web these days, right? I also use it to look up the latest changes in any library dependency and it just works. What would MCP support add?

#

types info, exact api schema, running it in a sandbox, and less steps to call external tools to scrape the web while it can directly use mcp designed for it

#

and of course better context saving, I'm writing this for myself the question is if I can make it public given its based on Lichess api docs

The Lichess API is all in a single webpage and includes types and exact schema, which seem properly digested by my AI. It's a pretty small amount of text.

I'm not a Lichess developer. Just a coder on the web. I'd love to use your tool, I'm just curious what the benefits are?

#

it can query docs/code/example code saving context and generate demo apps

#

using web search it will run multiple steps, mcp -> 1 step, and server runs locally
