What is the BattleMetrics MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to operate as a real-time intelligence layer over the global gaming server ecosystem with BattleMetrics, the industry-standard platform for game server monitoring. By connecting BattleMetrics to your agent, you transform complex server population analytics, player lookups, and ban auditing into natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search across thousands of tracked game servers, identify specific players, analyze population trends, and review ban records without navigating dashboards.
What you can do
- Server Discovery — Search and filter game servers by name, game, or country. View live player counts, rank, IP address, and detailed metadata.
- Player Lookups — Search the global player database by name and retrieve full profiles including identifiers, playtime stats, and linked servers.
- Session Tracking — View a player's complete session history showing which servers they played on, join/leave times, and duration.
- Population Analytics — Retrieve historical player count data for any server to analyze peak hours, activity trends, and growth patterns.
- Ban Auditing — List and review bans from your organization, filter by server, and inspect ban reasons, scope, and expiry.
- Leaderboards — Access time-based leaderboards for any server to identify the most active players.
- Game Catalog — Browse all games tracked by BattleMetrics and get detailed ecosystem statistics.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a specific game server?
Use the list_servers tool with the search parameter. You can filter by server name, game type (e.g. rust, ark), or country code (e.g. US, DE). The results include server name, IP, player count, and rank. For more advanced filtering (min/max players), use the search_servers tool.
Can I track a player's activity across different servers?
Yes. Use list_players to find the player by name, then get_player to view their full profile, and get_player_sessions to see their complete session history including which servers they joined, when they connected and disconnected, and for how long.
What games does BattleMetrics support?
BattleMetrics tracks hundreds of multiplayer games including Rust, ARK, Minecraft, CS2, Valheim, DayZ, and many more. Use the list_games tool to get the complete, up-to-date catalog of all supported games with their identifiers.
How do I get details about a specific ban?
First use list_bans to find the ban and get its numeric ban ID. Then use get_ban with that ID to retrieve the complete ban record including the reason, player identifier, expiry date, scope, and issuing administrator.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
