Pokeapi MCP Server missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

pokeapi
pokeapi_find_pokemon
Filter Pokémon by generation, type, regional pokédex, or egg group. Returns names and PokéAPI IDs; every returned name works as a pokeapi_get_pokemon identifier, where a species name resolves to its default variety. At least one of generation, type, pokedex, or egg_group is required; the ones provided are combined with AND logic, and query adds strict token matching on name within them. A call with no category filter, with or without query, returns an empty result and a notice naming the requirement.
pokeapi_get_ability
Get ability details by name or numeric ID — full English effect text, short effect text, generation introduced, and the list of Pokémon that have the ability (including hidden-ability flag and slot). Ability names are returned by pokeapi_get_pokemon in the abilities array.
pokeapi_get_item
Get item details by name or numeric ID — effect text, category, versioned purchase and sell prices, fling power, item attributes (holdable, consumable, etc.), sprite URL, and Pokémon that commonly hold it.
pokeapi_get_move
Get move details by name or numeric ID — type, damage class, power, accuracy, PP, priority, target, stat changes, status-effect chance, and full English effect text. Set include_learners=true to include the list of Pokémon that can learn the move. Move names are available from pokeapi_get_pokemon when include_moves=true.
pokeapi_get_nature
Get nature details — the stat boosted (+10%), stat reduced (-10%), and preferred/disliked berry flavors. Omit the identifier to list all 25 natures at once. Natures are critical for competitive team-building: every non-neutral nature modifies two stats by ±10%.
pokeapi_get_pokemon
Get a fully denormalized Pokémon dossier in a single call — base stats, types, abilities (with full English effect text), height/weight, resolved evolution chain, sprite URLs including official artwork, species flavor text, variety list, capture rate, growth rate, gender rate, legendary/mythical flags, egg groups, and (optionally) a summarized learnable-move list. Accepts a name (lowercase, hyphens for spaces, e.g. "bulbasaur", "mr-mime") or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID. A species name with no Pokémon record of its own (e.g. "deoxys") resolves to the default variety of that species ("deoxys-normal"), reported in resolvedFromSpecies. Set include_moves=true to include the move summary (large); defaults to false. Use game_version to select flavor text from a specific game (e.g. "sword", "red"); falls back to the most recent English entry when the version is not found. Use pokeapi_find_pokemon to discover Pokémon by type, generation, or egg group before calling this tool.
pokeapi_get_type_matchups
Get the full offensive and defensive type effectiveness breakdown. Provide either a type name (e.g. "fire", "psychic") or a Pokémon identifier (name or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID; a species name resolves to its default variety). For dual-type Pokémon, the defensive multipliers are correctly composed (e.g. Fire/Flying vs Rock = 4× because both types are weak to Rock). Exactly one of type or pokemon must be provided.

Pokeapi MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Pokeapi MCP Server do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: pokeapi_find_pokemon, pokeapi_get_ability, pokeapi_get_item, pokeapi_get_move, pokeapi_get_nature, pokeapi_get_pokemon and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Pokeapi MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 627 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Pokeapi MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Pokeapi MCP Server need an API key?
No. Pokeapi MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Pokeapi MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 627 ms on average, which is faster than 17% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Pokeapi MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/pokeapi-mcp-server was installed 177 times in the last week. Week over week that is +50%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Pokeapi MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at pokeapi.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
