Available tools 8

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

gift

get_gift

Returns a private draft's metadata, current revision, preview link and status for the supplied management token. Game HTML is excluded.

get_gift_catalog

Returns the supported formats, capabilities, requirements and limits for saving custom HTML games as private drafts.

get_gift_history

Returns the last five retained revisions of a private draft for the supplied management token. Revision metadata may contain the sender's personal content. Game HTML is excluded.

custom

create_custom_game

Saves a supplied self-contained HTML game as a free private draft. Returns a preview URL and private management token. Accepted games have inline code and embedded assets, keyboard and touch controls, a goal and restart. Network requests, payments and personal-data collection are prohibited. Repeated requests with the same idempotency key return the existing draft.

export

export_gift

Returns a private draft as portable JSON containing its complete self-contained game HTML. The recipient's email address and private tokens are excluded. An optional revision number selects a retained revision instead of the current version.

made

get_made_game

Returns the current stage of a game generation job identified by its private idempotency key. A completed job includes the title, cast, recipient play link and sender management link. Management links grant private sender access.

make

make_game

Starts generation of a small browser game about one person from the sender's supplied habits or inside jokes. Returns immediately with build progress. Games are free within a daily allowance. When the assistant allowance runs out, returns an OAuth sign-in request or a handoff URL. It never charges anyone or sends messages.

revise

revise_custom_game

Replaces an existing private draft with supplied HTML and game details. Requires the draft's management token and current revision number. A stale expectedRevision is rejected to prevent overwriting another edit.

Playable Gift — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Playable Gift do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_custom_game, export_gift, get_gift, get_gift_catalog, get_gift_history, get_made_game and 2 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 Playable Gift working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 332 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Playable Gift?

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 Playable Gift need an API key?

No. Playable Gift completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Playable Gift?

It answers our handshake in 332 ms on average, which is faster than 42% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
