Does this work for Bedrock edition?

Yes. This MCP includes specific capabilities to check the status of Bedrock servers, including player counts and gamemodes.

Can I get player skins?

Yes. You can use the player lookup and skin capabilities to get embeddable URLs for player avatars, heads, and bodies.

How accurate is the version data?

The version data is pulled directly from the official Mojang manifest, covering over 910 releases and snapshots.

Do I need to host this myself?

No. Vinkius hosts the MCP for you, so you only need to connect your client once to start using the capabilities.

Can I compare multiple servers at once?

Yes. The compare_servers capability allows your agent to check up to 8 servers at a time for population and status.

Do I need an API key or registration?

No. mcstatus.io, the Mojang profile API and the piston-meta version manifest are all public. no authentication anywhere in this MCP.

Why does a server show offline when I know it's up?

Some servers block status pings (enable-status=false in server.properties), hide behind proxies, or are Bedrock-only (a Java ping fails). The compare_servers capability auto-probes Bedrock too. try it there.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Minecraft Status Services works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Minecraft Status Services to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
