# Steam MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Steam MCP lets you pull gaming data directly into your AI client. You can pull player profiles, check out owned game libraries, see achievements, and get real-time stats for specific titles. It connects to the Steam Web API so your agent can answer questions about gaming history, community badges, and app news without you having to manually dig through the Steam store or profile pages. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_O9OlInOkRSwWizi5RXIeZfJ8ils4HylAbq3dhsDU/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** steam, gaming-api, library-orchestration, player-status, achievements-tracking, game-analytics, community-tools, app-metadata, mcp ## Description Imagine you're a gaming content creator trying to keep up with your community or a power user who wants a deep dive into your own gaming history. Instead of jumping between tabs, logging into different profiles, and squinting at tiny text on a web page, you can just ask your AI. This Connector handles all the heavy lifting of talking to the Steam Web API for you. You can get a full breakdown of a player's library, see which badges they've earned, or check the latest news for a specific game. It's about turning a massive database of gaming activity into something you can actually use in a conversation. By adding this to the Vinkius catalog, you're giving your agent a direct line to the Steam ecosystem. You can quickly see who's played what, how many hours they've sunk into a title, and what their current status is. It takes the friction out of data gathering, whether you're looking for a specific achievement timestamp or just want to see what's trending in the Steam app news. ## Tools ### get_global_achievements Get globalThis achievement percentages ### get_friend_list Get friend list for a Steam user ### get_game_news Get news for a specific game ### resolve_vanity_url Resolve a Steam vanity URL ### get_owned_games Retrieve a list of all games owned by a specific Steam user.
