Embers RPG Tools MCP

What This Is

You can connect AI applications like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP Inspector directly to your Embers account. Once connected, you can ask the AI to help you with your worlds, campaigns, characters, rules, and adventures the same way you’d ask a friend who has your books open in front of them.

You stay in control. The AI only sees what you let it see, and you can disconnect it any time.

The URL

https://gateway.embersds.com/mcp

That’s the address you’ll paste into your AI client.

Connecting Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop. Go to Settings, then Developer, then Edit Config. You’ll see a JSON file. Add this inside it:

​ { "mcpServers": { "embers": { "url": "https://gateway.embersds.com/mcp" } } } ​

Save and restart Claude. The next time you ask Claude to do something Embers-related, it pops open a browser window asking you to sign in to Embers and approve the connection.

Connecting Claude Code

If you use Claude Code from a terminal, run this once:

​ claude mcp add --transport http --scope user embers https://gateway.embersds.com/mcp ​

The --scope user part makes Embers available in every Claude Code session, not just one folder. The first time you ask Claude to do something Embers-related, it walks you through the same sign-in and approval flow.

Connecting Claude on the Web

Open claude.ai. Look for “Connect apps” or “Custom connectors” in the menu. Add a new connector and paste the URL above. Same approval flow as the desktop version.

Connecting Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and Other AI Tools

Each AI tool has its own “Add MCP server” setting in preferences. The URL is always the same one above. The first time you connect, your browser opens a page on Embers Imagine where you choose whether to grant access.

What You Can Do With It

Once connected, the AI can do anything you give it permission to do. The consent screen lists the specific permissions it’s asking for. Things like:

  • Read your worlds, adventure pages, NPCs, and locations
  • Create and edit world pages and adventure pages
  • Read your campaigns, sessions, and characters
  • Update characters, manage inventory, add session notes
  • Read and update your rules library

You see the full list before you click Allow. If anything looks wrong, click Deny and the connection doesn’t get made.

Disconnecting

Open your account settings in Embers Imagine. Every connected AI client shows up there with a Disconnect button. One click and the AI loses access immediately.
