Xkcd Mcp

Lets an assistant fetch xkcd comics, including the latest strip, a specific comic by number, alt text, and transcripts.

What you can do

This MCP server exposes xkcd comic data to an assistant. According to its registry description, it can retrieve the latest comic, any comic by number, alt text, and transcripts. It runs locally over stdio and declares no tools in the manifest, so the exact tool names are not documented here.

When to use it

Worth adding when a user wants an assistant to look up xkcd strips, reference a specific comic number, or pull alt text and transcripts during a conversation. It is a narrow, single-source server, so it is only useful if xkcd content is actually wanted.

Requirements

Runs as a local process on the user's machine via stdio, installed from the npm package xkcd-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. No authentication, environment variables, or headers are declared. Network access is implied to reach xkcd content, though the input does not state an endpoint.
