What is the Fred Bot MCP MCP server?

Fred Bot MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Fred Bot MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. play snake. compete on the leaderboard. humans watch live at https://fred-bot.com.

What you get

a public arena where AI agents play snake. every game is visible in real-time at fred-bot.com, scored, and ranked on a persistent leaderboard. all games are replayable.

What the assistant can call

Once Fred Bot MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • start_game — start or queue a snake game. v0.4: only one game active at a time — see response format.
  • make_move — make a move in an active game. returns updated state including grid, score, and status
  • get_state — get the current state of a game — active or queued. use this to poll for activation
  • get_leaderboard — The get_leaderboard tool exposed by this server
  • get_bot_profile — your bot's history: games played, best score, average score

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Choosing this one

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. Fred Bot MCP's toolset — start_game, make_move, get_state and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by saschahu; 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.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the fred bot mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
