Slay the Spire 1 MCP Mod

This repository provides a playable Slay the Spire 1 MCP mod setup. It contains two cooperating parts:

  • a Java bridge mod that runs inside Slay the Spire 1, exports game state, and simulates player input
  • a standalone Python MCP server that exposes the bridge over stdio for clients such as Codex or OpenCode

The design goal is simple:

  • read game state
  • send one action at a time
  • do not modify save files or inject gameplay results directly

What this project is

This is a Slay the Spire 1 bridge mod plus MCP server. It is intended for local single-player automation, agent testing, and MCP-based gameplay.

Architecture:

  • Java writes state.json
  • Python writes command.json
  • Java writes response.json

The Java mod and Python MCP server communicate through a shared runtime directory.

Quick Start

  1. Install Slay the Spire 1.
  2. Install ModTheSpire and BaseMod.
  3. Build the mod jar:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\build.ps1
  1. Install the jar into the game:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install.ps1
  1. Create the Python MCP environment:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\create-mcp-conda-env.ps1
  1. Start the MCP server manually if you want to test it directly:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\run-sts-mcp.ps1
  1. Or register it in your MCP client so the client starts it automatically.

What has been tested

The current bridge has been tested through these flows:

  • main menu to character select to run start
  • Neow event flow
  • map routing and whole-map export
  • normal combat and elite combat
  • card play, turn end, and hand/grid selection
  • combat potion use
  • normal rewards: gold, potion, card
  • events and multi-step event dialogs
  • campfire: rest, smith, confirm
  • shop: open, buy card, buy relic, buy potion, purge, cancel, leave room
  • treasure room: open chest, claim reward, leave room
  • act boss reward flow:
    • boss combat ends
    • normal post-combat rewards
    • proceed into boss treasure room
    • open boss chest
    • choose one of three boss relics
    • proceed into the next act

Runtime Contract

The Java bridge mod writes:

  • state.json: latest exported game state
  • response.json: last command result

The Python MCP server writes:

  • command.json: the next action request for the game

Set STS_MCP_RUNTIME_DIR for both processes if you want a custom runtime path. If unset, the Python server defaults to ./runtime under the current working directory.

Cross-Machine Configuration

The helper scripts are portable. They resolve paths in this order:

  1. explicit script parameters
  2. environment variables
  3. local auto-detection when possible

Useful environment variables:

  • STS_GAME_DIR: local SlayTheSpire install directory
  • STS_BASEMOD_JAR: optional explicit path to BaseMod.jar
  • STS_MAVEN_REPO: optional Maven local repository path
  • STS_MCP_ENV_PREFIX: optional conda env prefix for the MCP server
  • STS_MCP_RUNTIME_DIR: optional runtime directory override
  • JAVA_HOME: optional JDK root if javac.exe is not already discoverable
  • MAVEN_HOME: optional Maven root if mvn.cmd is not already discoverable
  • CONDA_EXE: optional explicit conda.exe path

On Windows, the scripts also try to discover the Steam root from the registry and then search Steam library folders for SlayTheSpire.

Build the Java Mod

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\build.ps1

With explicit overrides:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\build.ps1 `
  -GameDir "<game-dir>" `
  -JdkHome "<jdk-home>" `
  -MavenHome "<maven-home>"

Direct Maven example:

mvn "-Dsts.jar=<path-to-desktop-1.0.jar>" "-Dmts.jar=<path-to-ModTheSpire.jar>" "-Dbasemod.jar=<path-to-BaseMod.jar>" clean package

Install the Java Mod

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install.ps1

Optional explicit game path:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install.ps1 -GameDir "<game-dir>"

Launch ModTheSpire

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\run-mts.ps1

Debug launch:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\debug-mts.ps1

Conda Setup on Windows

Create a dedicated conda environment and install the Python package in editable mode:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\create-mcp-conda-env.ps1

Default env resolution:

  • STS_MCP_ENV_PREFIX if set
  • otherwise CONDA_ENVS_PATH\sts-game-mcp if CONDA_ENVS_PATH exists
  • otherwise a normal conda-style envs\sts-game-mcp under the detected conda root

Explicit override example:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\create-mcp-conda-env.ps1 `
  -CondaExe "<conda-exe>" `
  -EnvPrefix "<conda-env-prefix>"

Start the MCP Server Manually

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\run-sts-mcp.ps1

With explicit overrides:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\run-sts-mcp.ps1 `
  -EnvPrefix "<conda-env-prefix>" `
  -RuntimeDir "<runtime-dir>"

You can also run it directly:

python -m sts_game_mcp --runtime-dir <runtime-dir>

or:

sts-game-mcp --runtime-dir <runtime-dir>

MCP Client Configuration

Codex

Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml and adjust the paths:

[mcp_servers.sts-game]
command = "D:/Anaconda/Anaconda/envs/sts-game-mcp/python.exe"
args = ["-m", "sts_game_mcp", "--runtime-dir", "D:/path/to/runtime"]

OpenCode

Example opencode.json or opencode.jsonc entry:

{
  "mcp": {
    "sts-game": {
      "type": "local",
      "enabled": true,
      "command": [
        "D:/Anaconda/Anaconda/envs/sts-game-mcp/python.exe",
        "-m",
        "sts_game_mcp",
        "--runtime-dir",
        "D:/path/to/runtime"
      ],
      "environment": {
        "STS_MCP_RUNTIME_DIR": "D:/path/to/runtime"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available MCP Tools

The Python MCP server is implemented in sts_game_mcp/server.py. It exposes:

  • get_game_state
  • step_game
  • runtime_status

It also exposes resources:

  • sts-game://state
  • sts-game://runtime-status

Supported Game Actions

The main high-level actions currently supported are:

  • choose_main_menu_option
  • select_character
  • play_card
  • end_turn
  • use_potion
  • proceed
  • enter_boss
  • claim_room_reward
  • choose_reward
  • skip_reward
  • choose_boss_reward
  • choose_event_option
  • choose_campfire_option
  • open_treasure_chest
  • open_shop
  • buy_shop_card
  • buy_shop_relic
  • buy_shop_potion
  • buy_shop_purge
  • choose_map_node
  • select_hand_card
  • select_grid_card
  • confirm
  • cancel

State Quality Notes

The exported state is designed for agents, so the bridge also includes helper fields such as:

  • action_names
  • reward_types
  • reward_stage
  • playable_hand
  • playable_hand_count
  • has_playable_cards
  • map.all_nodes
  • map.available_nodes
  • treasure_chest.reward_screen_open

The intended control loop is:

  1. read state
  2. choose one action
  3. send one MCP command
  4. read state again

Do not chain assumptions across multiple UI transitions without reading the next state.

Included Skill for Other Models

This repo also includes a lightweight skill for models that should learn how to play through this MCP bridge:

That skill explains:

  • how to read this repo's MCP state safely
  • how to plan routes before clicking map nodes
  • how to handle reward flow, shops, campfires, and boss chests
  • a simple Silent-oriented beginner-safe play style

Install from GitHub on Another Machine

  1. Clone the repo.
  2. Install Slay the Spire 1, ModTheSpire, and BaseMod.
  3. Make sure the helper scripts can find the local game/tool paths, or pass them explicitly.
  4. Build the Java mod jar with scripts\build.ps1.
  5. Install the jar with scripts\install.ps1.
  6. Create a Python environment.
  7. Run pip install . or pip install -e ..
  8. Start sts-game-mcp --runtime-dir <runtime-dir>.
  9. Register the MCP server in your client.

The Python package itself has no third-party runtime dependencies.
