BattleMetrics MCP Tools for Claude Code (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect BattleMetrics to Claude Code via MCP:
get_ban
Returns the ban reason, banned player identifier, timestamps, expiry date, scope (server-level or organization-wide), and the administrator who issued the ban. Requires appropriate ban:read scope on the API token. Use this after identifying a ban ID from list_bans. Get details for a specific ban
get_game
Returns details such as the game name, the number of tracked servers and players, and game-specific metadata. Use this to get an overview of a game's ecosystem on BattleMetrics. Get details about a specific tracked game
get_player
Returns the player name, associated identifiers (Steam, EOS, etc.), time played statistics, linked servers, and recent activity. Use this after identifying a player ID from list_players or session history. Get detailed profile for a specific player
get_player_sessions
Each session shows which server the player was on, when they joined, when they left, and the session duration. Useful for auditing player activity, tracking playtime, or verifying presence on a specific server. Get session history for a specific player
get_server
Returns the server name, IP address, port, current player count, max players, rank, game details, map, status, and detailed metadata. Use this when the user already has a server ID and wants deep information. Get detailed information about a specific game server
get_server_leaderboard
Returns player names, IDs, and playtime duration. This is useful for identifying the most active or dedicated players on any tracked game server. Use page_number for pagination. Get the time-based leaderboard for a game server
get_server_player_count_history
Useful for analyzing population trends, peak hours, and server activity patterns over a given time range. If start and stop are omitted, the API returns recent history. Use ISO 8601 timestamps for the date range. Get player count history for a game server over time
list_bans
Each ban includes the ban reason, the banned player identifier, timestamps, expiry, and scope (server-level or organization-wide). Requires appropriate ban:read scope on the API token. Use page_number for pagination and optional server_id to filter bans from a specific server. List bans in your BattleMetrics organization
list_games
Returns each game's ID, display name, and metadata. Useful for discovering which games are available for server and player queries, and for getting the correct game identifier to use in server filters. List all games tracked by BattleMetrics
list_players
Use the search parameter to find players by name. Returns player names, IDs, and metadata. Results are paginated — use page_number to navigate. This is a powerful tool for looking up any player across all supported games. Search and list players across all tracked game servers
list_servers
Use the optional search parameter to find servers by name, or filter by game and country. Returns server name, IP, port, player count, rank, and game type. Results are paginated — use page_number to navigate through results. List game servers tracked by BattleMetrics
search_servers
Unlike the basic list_servers tool, this supports granular filtering by server name, game, country, minimum/maximum player count, rank range, and more. Returns matching servers with full metadata including name, IP, port, player count, rank, game type, map, and status. Use this when you need precise filtering to find specific servers. Results are paginated — use page_number to navigate. Search game servers with advanced filters
