Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of A* Pathfinder, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with A* Pathfinder. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work A* Pathfinder owners hand off.

If you work with game logic, robotics, or complex simulations, this MCP is for you. It lets your agent calculate precise movement plans across constrained environments. You'll use it when you need to model how an object or character moves from point A to point B.

  • 01

    Game Developer

    Use it to program enemy AI or character movement that must navigate complex, obstacle-filled maps.

  • 02

    Robotics Engineer

    It calculates the movement path for physical robots operating in structured, grid-based environments.

  • 03

    Simulation Scientist

    Run simulations to test how agents react to obstacles or how quickly they can reach a target location.

FAQ

Questions A* Pathfinder owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of grids does this MCP handle?

    It handles 2D grid environments. You provide the grid structure, and the MCP calculates paths based on the defined coordinates and obstacles within that grid.

  • 02

    Does it support different movement types?

    Yes. You can specify whether your agent moves using 4-directional movement (up, down, left, right) or 8-directional movement (including diagonals).

  • 03

    What is the difference between the capabilities?

    Use analyze_grid_feasibility to check if a path is possible at all. Use find_shortest_path for the single best route, and find_k_shortest_paths if you need several alternative options.

  • 04

    Do I need to worry about the heuristics?

    The heuristics, like Manhattan or Euclidean, guide the search algorithm. Specifying them helps the MCP calculate the path more accurately and efficiently.

  • 05

    Can I use this with my own custom grid data?

    Yes. You provide the grid data directly in your prompt, allowing you to test paths on any custom map structure you define.
