Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant control a retro handheld console: find games, launch them, save, adjust volume and get cheat codes.

What you can do
  • Search and browse the game library on the console's microSD card, by game, console or genre
  • Launch and quit games, save progress, take screenshots and set volume up, down or off
  • Look up cheat codes and help for the game currently being played
  • Manage favorites, saves and playtime records around the library
  • Pair Bluetooth controllers and speakers, and relay a controller connected to the computer
When to use it
Useful if you own a supported retro handheld (Anbernic RG35XX family, Miyoo Mini with Onion OS, or experimental Knulli, Batocera, ROCKNIX, muOS and similar) and want to launch games or ask about them from ChatGPT, Claude or Google Home.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at mcp.romkade.com with OAuth sign-in and a ROMKADE account. The console must be reachable on your local network through ROMKADE Manager, which runs in Docker Desktop on macOS, Windows or Linux and is set up at localhost:8765. Optional online model keys are supplied by the user.
Before you install
The assistant can change console state: launching or quitting games, saving, restoring saves, adding games, and changing controller or Bluetooth settings. The README says each action waits for your click, but verify that before relying on it. Linking the console to a ROMKADE account exposes it to cloud services, and an online model key is used if you choose one.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ROMKADE in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. 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/com.romkade%2Fromkade/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. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

ROMKADE Manager turns your retro handheld into a console you control from your computer. Your whole microSD card becomes a beautiful game library, Duke, your AI assistant, knows every game on it, and you can even talk to your console from ChatGPT, Claude or Google Home. No cable, no pulling out the card: everything happens over Wi-Fi.

Your whole retro library, at a glance

[The ROMKADE Manager library, console by console]

Every game on your card, sorted by console, with its box art, summary, trailer and genre. Around the library:

  • Search that finds a game, a console or a genre, even with a typo.
  • Favorites to keep your best games one click away.
  • Saves copied to your computer in one click, restored when you need them, and games resumed right where you left off.
  • Screenshots taken during the game, kept with each game.
  • Add games by drag and drop, over Wi-Fi, straight into the right folder, checked before anything is copied.
  • Playtime: how long you play each game, with optional reminders.

Duke, the AI assistant that knows your games and runs your console

[Duke answers about the library and launches a game]

Talk to Duke like a friend who knows your whole collection, and who has the console in hand. Every action on the console waits for your click.

  • It knows your games. “A two-player game in my library?”, “Compare these two.” On the game you're playing: the controls, the goals, and help through a tough spot, a hint first, the full solution only if you ask.
  • It runs your console. Launch a game, quit it, save your progress, turn the volume up, down or off, take a screenshot.
  • It sees your screen. Take a screenshot and ask Duke about it: it looks at the image to help you.
  • Local or online, your choice. Run the AI on your own computer (Ollama, LM Studio): nothing leaves your home. Or plug in an online model with your own key.
  • From anywhere, with ChatGPT, Claude or Google Home. Link your console to your ROMKADE account and ask “Launch Tetris” from your phone or your computer.

Pick a controller for each player, in one click

[Choose which controller each player uses]

Pair your Bluetooth controllers from your computer, see every controller plugged into the console, and give one to each player. ROMKADE Manager applies your choice to your games: plug the console into your TV and play two-player on the big screen, without digging through the console's menus.

No controller that reaches the console? Use the one connected to your computer (Xbox, PlayStation, Bluetooth or USB): ROMKADE Manager reads it itself and relays it to the console over Wi-Fi, even with the browser in the background.

Connect your console to your Bluetooth speaker

[Game sound sent to a Bluetooth speaker]

ROMKADE Manager scans the Bluetooth devices around the console. Pick your speaker or headphones: the console connects to it and the game sound comes out at full power. One click sends the sound back to the console.

Get started in 3 steps

  1. Install Docker Desktop, free on macOS, Windows and Linux.

  2. Start ROMKADE Manager. In a terminal, in an empty folder:

    bash
    curl -fsSLO https://github.com/RomKade/romkade-manager/releases/latest/download/compose.yamldocker compose up -d

    On Windows, type curl.exe instead of curl.

  3. Open http://localhost:8765, create your ROMKADE account and follow the guided setup: ROMKADE Manager finds your console on the network for you.

Step-by-step guide with screenshots: romkade.com/en/installation. Using Claude Code or Codex? Copy the ready-made install prompt: it checks Docker and installs it if needed, starts ROMKADE Manager and connects ROMKADE to your assistant, asking before each step.

Your games, your console

  • No games provided. ROMKADE Manager organizes the files you already own.
  • Your data stays at home. Library, saves and settings live on your computer.
  • Nothing changes without you. The console is only modified when you ask: adding games, restoring a save, controller or Bluetooth settings.
  • Private by design. The interface only opens on your computer, never on the Internet.

Under the hood

Python (FastAPI) and SQLite on the server side, a React interface, Typesense for search, all packaged with Docker for Intel/AMD and ARM. ROMKADE Manager reaches the console over SSH on your local network; ROMKADE Cloud, an MCP server, connects ChatGPT, Claude and Google Home to it. Installation from source, development and every feature in detail: technical reference.
