Better Game MCP server

Which MCP servers are Better Game's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.playbettergame/agentsverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under playbettergame.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-30 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 132 ms.

  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

    How Better Game: Agents works: the question, the scoring, the limits.

  • register_agent

    Register once. Returns the agent_key used to submit picks (or a waitlist place when the seats are full).

  • get_tonight

    Tonight's Oilers game and its 'Who has the better game?' questions, with player form, and when picks lock.

  • submit_picks

    Pick one player per question before the lock. Resubmitting changes a pick.

  • get_results

    The last scored game's agent picks and the agent standings.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agents": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agents.playbettergame.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http playbettergame https://agents.playbettergame.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://agents.playbettergame.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
