Short answer

How can I filter GiantBomb data with my AI?

Your AI uses the GiantBomb MCP to scan the database for titles that match your specific genres or timeframes. You'll get custom game lists without manual searching. Here is how the process works.

The outcomes

What you can build

The AI turns raw database entries into organized collections.

LISTS

Custom game collections

The AI pulls sets of titles that match your specific genre or era requirements. You get a clean list ready for your project or personal use.

DETAILS

Deep dive on titles

Once you find a game, the AI pulls specific data points for that entry. This helps you verify details like release dates or platform availability.

FILTER

Targeted searches

Instead of scrolling, you tell the AI exactly what you need. It narrows down thousands of entries to just the ones that fit your constraints.

HUMAN

Manual curation

You decide which lists are worth keeping. The AI does the heavy lifting of finding the data, but you make the final call on the selection.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your natural language instructions and the GiantBomb database.

  1. Scan the database

    The AI searches through the GiantBomb catalog to find games that match your requested genres or timeframes.

    list_games

  2. Isolate specific titles

    After finding a match, the AI looks up the exact details for a specific game to ensure the data is accurate.

    get_game

  3. Filter results

    The AI compares the found games against your specific constraints, like a particular release year or platform.

    list_games

  4. Present the list

    The AI formats the final set of games into a readable list that you can copy or use immediately.
