Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence MCP. Analyze player stats and track real-time game action.

Lichess Open Chess Intelligence gives your AI agent deep access to Lichess.org's entire operational data set. You don't need messy web scraping or some clunky third-party API just to get basic stats; this server connects you directly to the source, letting your client perform complex actions on live and historical chess data.

Monitoring Live Action and Statuses

You can track who’s playing right now. By running list_broadcasts, you'll see every official tournament currently running on the platform. Want to know which Grandmasters are streaming? Use get_tv_channels to identify exactly who's broadcasting live on Lichess TV at this moment. If you need a list of all streamers, run list_live_streamers; that’ll give you a feed of everyone currently broadcasting their stream.

When you need to know if a specific group is active—say, checking your whole squad—you use get_users_online_status to confirm if multiple specified users are logged into the site and online right now.

Analyzing Player Performance and Metrics

Want to check out a player's overall standing? You run get_leaderboards and you pull up top rankings and scores across every major chess variant, like Blitz or Rapid. For deep dives on an individual, your agent can use get_player_data to grab the entire public profile for any Lichess user. This includes their current ratings and historical details across all defined variants of play.

Auditing History and Activity Logs

When you need to audit a player or track performance trends, you've got two main tools. First, run get_user_games to pull the complete match history for any given player. This gives you raw PGN data—enough material for serious post-game analysis of tactical patterns and mistakes. Second, if you need to see what a user has been up to recently, use get_user_activity.

This pulls a chronological log detailing recent actions taken by the player, whether they solved a puzzle, updated their profile, or just logged in.

Community and Puzzle Data

For team-based intelligence, you run get_team_members on a specific team's name. That lists every single username that belongs to that group. If you need to know what the daily challenge is—or if you want your agent to solve it for practice—you use get_daily_puzzle, and it retrieves today's available Lichess puzzle challenge.

This setup lets your AI client handle all the data fetching. It pulls everything from listing ongoing tournaments via list_broadcasts and checking which players are live on TV using get_tv_channels. You can grab a user’s full history with get_user_games, or just check their general profile stats using get_player_data. Need to know what they did yesterday? Run get_user_activity.

Want to see who's playing right now and if your buddies are online, you use get_users_online_status and list_live_streamers. If you're tracking a whole crew, you get all their details with get_team_members, and even the current top scores through get_leaderboards. You can also nail down today's puzzle using get_daily_puzzle. It’s everything, handled by your agent.

No fluff, just data.
