What is the Archivist AI MCP server?

If you already use Archivist AI, the archivist ai mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Official remote MCP server for Archivist AI TTRPG campaign memory: characters, sessions, and more.

What the server does

Connect AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Notion, and Windsurf directly to your campaign data: characters, sessions, locations, factions, items, quests, journals, and more.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Campaigns — The Campaigns tool exposed by this server
  • Sessions — The Sessions tool exposed by this server
  • Quests — The Quests tool exposed by this server
  • Journals — The Journals tool exposed by this server
  • Relationships — The Relationships tool exposed by this server
  • Images — The Images tool exposed by this server
  • Removal — delete_entity_image removes an image within a campaign in one of two modes: - By entity: pass entity_type + entity_id. The API detaches the image

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: AUTH_HEADER, YOUR_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Archivist AI's toolset — Campaigns, Sessions, Quests and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Astrotomic; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
