This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add steam-games-mcp -- npx -y steam-games-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: STEAM_API_KEY (Free Steam Web API key (optional). Unlocks player profile, library and achievement tools.), STEAM_ID (Default player: 17-digit SteamID64 or vanity name (the part after /id/).), STEAM_COUNTRY (Two-letter ISO country code for store prices (e.g. US, GB, DE).), STEAM_LANGUAGE (Store language (e.g. english, russian, german).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Steam MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Steam MCP Server?
Steam MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package steam-games-mcp was installed 157 times last week.
How do I connect Steam MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls steam-games-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Steam MCP Server?
The npm package steam-games-mcp was installed 157 times in the last week. Week over week that is +15%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Steam MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 4 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
