Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches and retrieves video game data from the IGDB database, including details, platforms, ratings and upcoming releases.

What you can do
  • Search games by name and return chosen fields with a configurable result limit
  • Fetch full details for a specific game by its IGDB ID, including ratings, platforms, developers and DLC
  • Find the most anticipated upcoming games by hype count
  • Run custom Apicalypse queries against IGDB API endpoints
  • Read reference resources listing available endpoints and the Apicalypse query syntax
  • Use pre-built prompts for game search, game details and anticipated releases
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up video game metadata, compare titles, check platforms and release dates, or find trending and upcoming games without leaving the chat.
Requirements
An IGDB/Twitch developer application with a Client ID and Client Secret, supplied as the IGDB_CLIENT_ID and IGDB_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables. The README's setup runs the server locally with uv and uvx from a Git repository; the registry lists a remote endpoint that uses an Authorization bearer token for authentication.
Before you install
Requires Twitch developer credentials (IGDB_CLIENT_ID and IGDB_CLIENT_SECRET), which should be kept out of shared configs. The server does not implement rate limiting while IGDB allows 4 requests per second, so rapid repeated queries can hit limits. Custom queries can request arbitrary IGDB endpoints and fields.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Bielacki Igdb Mcp Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.smithery%2Fbielacki-igdb-mcp-server/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Troubleshooting

Authentication Errors

  • "IGDB_CLIENT_ID not set": Check your MCP client config has the env variables
  • "Invalid credentials": Verify your Client ID and Secret are correct
  • "Token expired": The server handles token refresh automatically

Rate Limiting

IGDB allows 4 requests per second. The server doesn't implement rate limiting, so:

  • Avoid rapid repeated queries
  • Use field expansion instead of multiple requests
  • Leverage multi-query for batch operations

Common Query Issues

  • No results: Check spelling, try broader search terms
  • Missing fields: Some fields may be null; handle gracefully
  • Query syntax error: Verify Apicalypse syntax, check semicolons

Environment Variables

Ensure your MCP client config includes:

json
"env": {  "IGDB_CLIENT_ID": "abc123...",  "IGDB_CLIENT_SECRET": "xyz789..."}
