Build poker games with Claude
The Home Game connector lets Claude build your home game with you: describe it in your own words, and Claude writes it down, has the rules engine check it, plays test hands, and saves it to your account. Then you deal it on Home Game with your friends.
Add it to Claude
- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Home Game and paste this address:
https://homegamecards.com/mcp - Claude asks you to sign in to Home Game and approve it, once. No account yet? You can create one on that sign-in page.
- Ask away. For example: "Build our family's game: five-card draw with one community card dealt before the draw, high-low with a declare."
What it can do
- Start from any of the house games, or from scratch.
- Check your rules with the same engine that deals the tables, play hundreds of test hands, and walk you through a sample hand.
- Save games to your account (2 a day).
- Open a private table with you as host (1 a day) and email the invite link to your friends (9 invitations a day).
What it can't do
- Play for you, sit at a table, or act in a hand. People play on the site.
- Run your tables: approving seats and buy-ins, settings and removing players stay with the host.
- See your email address or password, or anyone's face-down cards.
Disconnect it
Open the Game builder and choose Disconnect next to it under Connected agents. You can also remove it in Claude's settings. Games it saved stay in your account.
