Identifiers

  • Steam games use appid, Steam's application ID.
  • Cross-platform games use gdcoId, GameDiscoverCo's unified game identifier across supported platforms.

Your MCP client usually chooses tools automatically. If you are testing the MCP server, ask a direct question like "search for Balatro" or "show trending Steam games" instead of calling a tool by name.
