Short answer

How can I track my Steam activity with AI?

Your AI uses this MCP to pull your owned games, recent play history, and achievement data. You can then ask it to find patterns in your gaming habits or check your progress on specific titles.

What you can do with your data

The AI pulls specific information from Steam to give you these results.

PLAYTIME

Analyze time spent

The AI looks at your total hours and recent sessions. You get a clear view of where you spend your time.

PROGRESS

Check achievements

Your agent pulls your global achievements. It shows you which milestones you've hit and which ones are left.

LIBRARY

Audit your collection

The AI scans your owned games. You can ask it to find specific titles or categorize your library.
