The playmat's address
https://tcgreplay.demo.gs/mcp

tcgreplay runs as a connector (an MCP server) for the AI assistant you already use. Add the hosted playmat at the address above, sign in with Google the first time it is used, and the assistant can import your games, coach you and show the board.

You need a Google account to sign in. The hosted playmat serves a few players at once; if it is full, you can run it on your own computer instead.

claude.ai

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it tcgreplay and paste the playmat’s address, https://tcgreplay.demo.gs/mcp.
  3. Choose Add, then Connect. Google asks you to choose an account: pick one and allow it to share your email address. You come back to claude.ai.
  4. In a chat, make sure tcgreplay is switched on in the chat’s tools menu.

Check it works. Start a new chat and ask:

What can the tcgreplay playmat do?

Claude should list the playmat’s coaching workflows, such as importing a game, reviewing it and drills. If it says it can’t reach the playmat, open the connector in Settings → Connectors and connect it again. See signing in and opening the board for what the sign-in looks like.
