Data Sources

Local Game Data

The primary data source, powering 386 of the 407 tools. The server parses EverQuest game files directly to provide authoritative, offline access to the full game database:

• 70K+ spells with effects, classes, categories, stacking rules, and cast messages
• 1600+ factions with starting values by race, class, and deity
• 2700+ AA abilities with ranks, descriptions, and spell correlations
• 800+ overseer quests and 300+ agents with traits, jobs, and slot requirements
• 4200+ mercenary templates with stances, tiers, and abilities
• 34K+ map points of interest from Brewall map files
• 980+ creature/NPC race types, 550+ in-game events, 50+ lore stories
• Achievement system, skill caps, base stats, AC mitigation tables, and more

Data is parsed on demand and cached in memory. No external network calls required.

Online Databases

Nine external EQ community databases searched via web scraping. These provide quest guides, item databases, raid loot tables, and other community-maintained content not available in local game files.

| Source | Specialty | |--------|-----------| | Allakhazam | Primary online database — spells, items, NPCs, zones | | Almar's Guides | Quest walkthroughs, epic guides, leveling | | EQ Traders | Tradeskill recipes and guides | | EQInterface | UI mods, maps, parsers, and tools | | EQResource | Modern expansion content, progression | | Fanra's Wiki | General game information, mechanics | | Lucy | Classic EQ spell and item data (historical) | | RaidLoot | Raid loot tables by expansion | | Zliz's Compendium | Comprehensive EQ encyclopedia |

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ArtSabintsev/everquest-mcp.git
cd everquest-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Local Game Data (Optional)

For offline access to comprehensive game data, set the EQ_GAME_PATH environment variable to your EverQuest installation directory. On macOS with CrossOver:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everquest": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/everquest-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "EQ_GAME_PATH": "/path/to/EverQuest"
      }
    }
  }
}

Without this, only online database tools are available.

Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everquest": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/everquest-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Desktop.
