Installation
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/lowrykun/civ6mcp.git cd civ6mcp -
Install dependencies:
npm install -
Build the project:
npm run build
Enable Game Logging
The MCP server reads data from Civilization VI's log files. You need to enable logging:
-
Find your
UserOptions.txtfile:- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/UserOptions.txt - Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\UserOptions.txt
- macOS:
-
Add or modify this line:
GameHistoryLogLevel=1 -
Start Civilization VI and play at least one turn to generate log data.
Claude Desktop Configuration
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"civ6": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/civ6mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Replace /path/to/civ6mcp with the actual path to where you cloned the repository.
Claude Project Setup (Recommended)
For the best experience, create a Claude Project with the strategic advisor instructions:
- In Claude, create a new Project called "Civilization VI"
- Copy the contents of PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md into the Project Instructions
- Start a conversation in that project
This gives Claude context about all the available tools and how to provide strategic advice.

Usage Examples
Ask Claude things like:
- "What's my current strategic situation?"
- "Who is the biggest threat right now?"
- "What are my neighbors building?"
- "How are my yields compared to other civs?"
- "Show me the trend analysis for the last 10 turns"
- "What's the diplomatic situation with Persia?"
How It Works
The MCP server reads from two sources:
- Save Files (
.Civ6Save) - Basic game info like leader, turn, map settings - Log Files (CSV) - Detailed statistics generated each turn when logging is enabled
Log files provide much richer data including:
- All civilizations' yields and military strength
- Diplomatic relationships and their modifiers
- Combat records
- City production queues
- Technology progress
- World Congress votes
Platform Support
- macOS - Fully supported
- Windows - Fully supported
Troubleshooting
"No game data available"
- Make sure
GameHistoryLogLevel=1is set in UserOptions.txt - Play at least one turn after enabling logging
- Check that log files exist in your Logs directory
Data seems outdated
- Log files update when you complete a turn
- Mid-turn, you'll only see your own civilization's latest data
