What is the Poké MCP Server?
Connect to the PokéAPI through this MCP server to explore the vast world of Pokémon data. This integration allows any AI agent to retrieve detailed information about items, mechanics, and world interactions.
What you can do
- Berry Research — List all berries, check their firmness levels, and explore flavor profiles like spicy, dry, or sweet.
- Contest Mastery — Query contest types and effects to understand how different moves and items perform in competition.
- Encounter Methods — Discover the various ways Pokémon can be encountered in the wild, from walking in tall grass to fishing.
- Data Exploration — Access paginated lists of resources to browse the entire database systematically.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Initialize the connection (no complex keys required for public data)
- Start querying Pokémon lore and mechanics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Game Developers — quickly reference Pokémon mechanics and item data while coding or designing.
- Content Creators — verify facts about berries and contests for guides or wikis without leaving the chat interface.
- Data Enthusiasts — explore the structured relationships of the Pokémon world through natural language.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find the specific details of a berry by its name?
Use the get_berry tool and provide the name (e.g., 'cheri'). The agent will return its growth time, max harvest, size, and smoothness.
Can I list all the different ways a Pokémon can be encountered?
Yes, use the list_encounter_methods tool. It provides a paginated list of all methods like 'walk', 'old-rod', or 'surf' used in the games.
Is it possible to check the effects of Pokémon Contests?
Absolutely. You can use list_contest_effects to see available effects or get_contest_effect with a specific ID to see the detailed appeal and jam metadata.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
