Before you connect

Questions about PokéAPI.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

What kind of data does the PokéAPI MCP provide?

It gives your AI client access to almost everything in the Pokémon database, including species stats, move details, evolution chains, regional Pokédexes, and item descriptions.

Can I use the PokéAPI MCP to help build a Pokémon fan game?

Yes, it's perfect for that. You can use it to pull accurate move power levels, stats, and evolution triggers to ensure your game mechanics are consistent with the official data.

Does the PokéAPI MCP include evolution requirements?

Yes, it includes the full evolution chains. It will tell you exactly what items, locations, or conditions are needed for a Pokémon to evolve.

Is there a cost to use the PokéAPI MCP?

No, because it connects to the open PokéAPI, you don't need to worry about managing your own API keys or paying for extra data access.

Can I check type effectiveness with the PokéAPI MCP?

Absolutely. You can ask your agent about specific type matchups, and it will pull the correct damage relations for you instantly.

Does it have information on berries and items?

Yes, it includes a full catalog of berries and held items, including their specific effects and costs, which is great for deep-dive research.

Do I need a Pokémon Trainer Club account or API key?

No! PokéAPI is a completely free, open-source project. No authentication, no rate limits, no registration required.

Can I look up Pokémon by name or ID number?

Yes! Both work perfectly. Use get_pokemon with either the Pokédex number (e.g., "25") or the name (e.g., "pikachu").

Can I see a Pokémon's full evolution chain?

Yes! Use get_pokemon_species to get the species data which includes the evolution chain ID, then use get_evolution_chain to see the full family tree with all evolution conditions and requirements.
