What is the Buddy MCP server?

If you already use Buddy, the buddy mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Claude Code creature collection game. Hatch buddies, pet to boost roll luck, complete the BuddyDex.

What the server does

Need a break from long code sessions? Stuck on a bug? Reroll a buddy, talk with them, or interact by petting them to build affection and improve your odds at higher-tier buddies on the next roll. If enough people want it, I'll build out Battle-Buddies where you can pit your buddy against others and unlock exclusive species that sync back into your local pool.

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at buddy-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by Lyellr88; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
