Short answer

How can I use AI to look through my itch.io collections?

Your AI uses the itch.io MCP to pull your specific user collections and the games inside them. You can then ask for details on specific titles or ask for summaries of what's in a list. This breakdown shows how to set it up.

The results

What you can do with your collections

Once connected, your AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning your lists.

LISTING

View all collections

The AI pulls a full list of every collection you have created on itch.io. You'll see exactly what your agent can access.

DETAILS

Get game info

Your AI looks inside a specific collection to find individual games. It can pull specific data points for any title in that list.

ANALYSIS

Summarize lists

Ask your agent to find patterns or themes across your collections. It can tell you what genres or developers you tend to collect.

HUMAN

Manual curation

The AI only reads your existing data. You still need to go to itch.io to manually create new collections or add new games.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI follows a logical path to turn your question into a specific list of games.

  1. Identify collections

    The agent first looks at your account to see which curated lists you have available.

    get_user_collections

  2. Scan game lists

    Once you pick a collection, the agent pulls the full roster of games inside it.

    get_collection_games

  3. Filter and find

    The agent compares the game data against your specific question to find the right match.

    get_collection_games

  4. Present results

    The agent gives you the final answer in plain text, such as a list of titles or a specific game detail.

    get_user_collections
