Build multi-step game analysis chains in LangChain.

The `get_player_monthly_games` tool feeds raw game data directly into your LangChain execution chains. Your agent can grab a player's history, isolate specific board states, and pass those moves to another model for tactical breakdown. You don't have to write custom scraping scripts anymore. Combining this with `get_player_game_archives` lets your agent build a chronological map of a player's performance over years. LangSmith tracks every step of this multi-step pipeline, so you can see exactly how the agent processes the chess moves and where latency spikes.

Track active streamers and global leaderboards.

The `list_active_streamers` tool connects your LangChain agent to live broadcast data on Chess.com. This lets you build monitoring loops that watch for when top-rated players go live and cross-reference their current ratings using other tools. By chaining this with `get_global_leaderboards`, your agent can automatically update internal leaderboards or alert your team when a top player starts streaming. The MCP Server handles the raw API requests, so your chain only deals with clean, structured JSON.

Serve daily chess puzzles to your agents.

The `get_daily_chess_puzzle` tool fetches the official daily challenge directly from the Chess.com servers. Your LangChain agent can grab this puzzle, try to solve it, and then compare its reasoning against the actual solution. You can also use `get_random_chess_puzzle` to build training loops for fine-tuning models on chess notation. It makes testing model reasoning simple because you have a constant stream of verified tactical problems.

Setup guide

Set up Chess.com Global Intelligence MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Chess.com Global Intelligence tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "chesscom-global-intelligence-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Chess.com Global Intelligence transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
