pokeapi-mcp-server

An MCP server wrapping the PokéAPI. Provides tools to look up Pokémon, moves, abilities, items, locations, evolutions, and more — directly from Claude or any MCP-compatible client.

Features

• Full coverage of the PokéAPI — Pokémon, species, moves, abilities, items, types, locations, evolutions, berries, natures, and more
• Fuzzy name matching with autocorrect — misspell a name and the server will either fix it automatically or suggest the closest matches
• Paginated results for large lists (egg groups, growth rates, pokédexes, etc.)

Tools

Each resource has two tools: a list_* tool for pagination and a get_* tool for full details.

| Category | List tool | Get tool | |---|---|---| | Pokémon | list_pokemon | get_pokemon | | Species | list_pokemon_species | get_pokemon_species | | Moves | list_moves | get_move | | Abilities | list_abilities | get_ability | | Items | list_items | get_item | | Types | list_types | get_type | | Berries | list_berries | get_berry | | Locations | list_locations | get_location | | Evolution chains | list_evolution_chains | get_evolution_chain | | Generations | list_generations | get_generation | | Natures | list_natures | get_nature | | ... and more | | |

get_pokemon accepts an optional move_learn_method parameter (level-up, machine, egg, tutor, or all) to filter the moves list.
