Track server health with Claude Desktop

`get_server_player_count_history` pulls historical population trends straight into your chat interface. You ask Claude for peak hours on a specific Rust server, and it grabs the exact ISO 8601 timestamp data to plot the activity pattern. Digging deeper requires current metadata, which `get_server` handles by fetching live IP, port, and max player caps. Your agent reads this data to tell you immediately if a server is dropping rank or bleeding active users.

Audit player sessions and bans

`get_player_sessions` extracts the exact join and leave times for any user across your network. Finding a suspected cheater starts here, letting your AI client cross-reference playtime durations against known server IDs. Once you spot an anomaly, `list_bans` checks your organization's records to see if that Steam ID already caught a suspension. You then run `get_ban` to pull the specific expiry date and the administrator who issued the penalty.

Global game discovery via MCP Server

`search_servers` filters the entire global database by minimum player count, rank range, and country. Claude uses this to build a live list of high-population servers for any title you track. Pinning down the right ecosystem means running `list_games` first to grab the correct internal game identifier. Then you just pass that ID into `get_game` to see total tracked players before launching a new community server.
