How to Use the itch.io MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline modify my itch.io collections?

No. Cline can read your lists using the getusercollections tool, but the itch.io API endpoints provided here are read-only and cannot create or delete collections.

Q: Can I retrieve cover images for games in my collections?

Yes. Both getusergames and getcollectiongames return cover image URLs. Cline can use these links to generate rich visual layouts or markdown tables in your workspace.

Command Cline to pull your itch.io game data, build custom dashboards, and manage your library right inside VS Code.

Build itch.io dashboards directly in Cline

The `get_user_games` tool retrieves your itch.io purchases, uploads, and collections directly into your workspace. Cline reads this raw JSON and can instantly write a custom React dashboard or markdown file to organize your indie library. Because Cline operates as an autonomous agent, it doesn't just show your itch.io data. It writes the files, formats the tables, and saves the dashboard directly to your project folder in one run.

Inspect curated itch.io lists with Cline

The `get_collection_games` tool pulls titles, prices, and developer info from any specific itch.io collection ID. Cline uses this tool to grab metadata from your curated lists and compare them against your local project files. You can ask Cline to analyze a collection of reference games from itch.io, and Cline will then fetch the details, extract the developer URLs, and write a summary markdown report of your itch.io games for your team.

Track your itch.io collections inside Cline

The `get_user_collections` tool lists your itch.io game collections alongside their game counts and URLs. Cline uses this structure to keep your local workspace documentation aligned with your live itch.io account. This MCP Server makes it simple to feed your itch.io curations to Cline. It handles the API requests behind the scenes so Cline can focus on organizing your assets and writing clean markdown summaries.
