Get reviews from Steam store

What is the Steam Review MCP MCP server?

Get reviews from Steam store. The steam review mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 10 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

Access Steam game reviews using Model Context Protocol (MCP).

  • Get game reviews (positive/negative counts, review scores, review content, etc.)
  • Get game basic information (name, detailed description)
  • Analyze game reviews and summarize pros and cons

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • success — Whether the query was successful
  • review_score — Review score
  • review_score_desc — Review score description
  • total_positive — Total positive reviews
  • total_negative — Total negative reviews
  • reviews — All review text content (without other metadata)
  • name — Game name
  • detailed_description — Detailed game description
  • Tools — This MCP service provides the get_steam_review tool, which retrieves reviews and game information by passing a Steam game appid
  • Prompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this server

Adding it to your client

@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Steam Review MCP's toolset — success, review_score, review_score_desc and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by fenxer; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Caveats

  • 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.
  • With 10 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Steam Review MCP.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the steam review mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
