GeoGuessr MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analyzing GeoGuessr game statistics with automatic API monitoring and dynamic schema adaptation.

TODO

• Fix Docker username in compose files and env vars
• Add authentication to MCP server to allow access only to specific users
• Fix Code Quality on tests not running
• Fix Code Quality on black not formatting
• Add auto monitoring for new endpoints and send notifications by email

🌟 Key Features

Dynamic API Monitoring

• Automatic endpoint discovery: Monitors GeoGuessr API endpoints daily
• Schema change detection: Automatically detects when API response formats change
• Self-adapting: Updates internal data models based on actual API responses
• No hardcoded assumptions: Works even when GeoGuessr changes their API

Comprehensive Analysis

• Profile and statistics retrieval
• Game history and round-by-round analysis
• Performance tracking and trend detection
• Strategy recommendations based on gameplay patterns

Easy Deployment

• Docker Compose for simple VPS deployment
• Production-ready with nginx and SSL support
• Persistent schema caching between restarts

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• A GeoGuessr account

1. Clone and Configure

git clone https://github.com/NyxiumYuuki/GeoGuessrMCP.git
cd GeoGuessrMCP
cp .env.example .env

2. Deploy

docker compose up -d --build

That's it! The server is now running on port 8000.

3. Configure MCP Server Authentication (Optional)

To secure your MCP server with API key authentication, edit .env:

MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
MCP_API_KEYS=your-secure-api-key-here

Generate a secure API key:

openssl rand -hex 32

4. Connect to Claude

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Without Authentication:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geoguessr": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://YOUR_VPS_IP:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

With Authentication:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geoguessr": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://YOUR_VPS_IP:8000/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-secure-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔐 Authentication

The server supports two types of authentication:

MCP Server Authentication (Controls Access to the MCP Server)

Secures who can connect to your MCP server. When enabled, clients must provide a valid API key.

Enable in .env:

MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
MCP_API_KEYS=key1,key2,key3  # Comma-separated for multiple users

Generate secure keys:

openssl rand -hex 32

Configure Claude Desktop with authentication:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geoguessr": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://your-domain.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

GeoGuessr API Authentication (Access GeoGuessr Data)

The server also needs authentication to access GeoGuessr's API. Multiple methods supported:

Option 1: Login via Claude (Recommended)

Simply ask Claude:

"Login to GeoGuessr with email: myemail@example.com and password: mypassword"

Option 2: Environment Variable

Add to your .env file:

GEOGUESSR_NCFA_COOKIE=your_cookie_value_here

Option 3: Manual Cookie

Use the set_ncfa_cookie tool with a cookie extracted from your browser.

🔄 Dynamic Schema System

The server automatically adapts to API changes:

┌─────────────────────┐      ┌──────────────────┐
│   API Response      │ ───▶ │  Schema Detector │
└─────────────────────┘      └────────┬─────────┘
                                      │
                                      ▼
┌─────────────────────┐      ┌──────────────────┐
│  Schema Registry    │ ◀─── │  Compare Hash    │
│  (Persisted)        │      └──────────────────┘
└─────────────────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌─────────────────────┐
│  Dynamic Response   │ ───▶ Available to LLM
│  with Schema Info   │
└─────────────────────┘

How It Works

1. Daily Monitoring: The server checks all known endpoints every 24 hours
2. Schema Detection: Analyzes response structure, field types, and nesting
3. Change Detection: Computes schema hash to detect modifications
4. Persistence: Schemas are cached to disk and survive restarts
5. Dynamic Access: Tools return data with schema information for the LLM

Example: Exploring Unknown Endpoints

User: "Can you explore the /v3/some-new-endpoint API?"

Claude uses explore_endpoint tool:
{
  "success": true,
  "discovered_fields": ["id", "name", "data", "timestamp"],
  "schema_description": "Endpoint: /v3/some-new-endpoint\nFields:\n  - id: string\n  - name: string\n  - data: object\n  - timestamp: datetime"
}

🏭 Production Deployment

The server is available as a pre-built Docker image: nyxiumyuuki/geoguessr-mcp:latest

Method 1: Quick Deploy with Script

For VPS deployment with existing nginx-proxy-manager:

# Clone repository on VPS
git clone https://github.com/NyxiumYuuki/GeoGuessrMCP.git
cd GeoGuessrMCP

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings:
# - GEOGUESSR_NCFA_COOKIE (for GeoGuessr API access)
# - MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true (optional, for MCP server security)
# - MCP_API_KEYS (if authentication enabled)

# Run deployment script
./scripts/deploy.sh

Method 2: Manual Docker Compose Deploy

Development/Testing Setup

# Using docker-compose.yml (development)
docker compose up -d

Production Setup with nginx-proxy-manager

# Using docker-compose.prod.yml (production)
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Configure SSL in nginx-proxy-manager:

• Access admin panel: http://your-vps-ip:81
• Add Proxy Host for your domain
• Forward to: geoguessr-mcp-server:8000
• Enable SSL with Let's Encrypt

📖 For detailed VPS deployment instructions, see DEPLOYMENT.md

# Pull the image
docker pull nyxiumyuuki/geoguessr-mcp:latest

# Create a volume for schema cache
docker volume create geoguessr-schemas

# Run the container (without authentication)
docker run -d \
