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.
