-# Temporary Holding Version
+# blockyland-mcp
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Let your own AI app play in [Blockyland](https://blockyland.online), the voxel sandbox game that runs in your browser.
+Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor or any other app that supports MCP can look around your world, build, run
+commands, and talk with you in the game's Agent Terminal. It uses your AI app's own account, so no API key goes into
+the game.
+
+Blockyland is an independent fan project, not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft.
+
+## Setup
+
+You need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) 18 or newer. Add the server to your AI app once, then restart the app:
+
+| AI app | Command |
+| --- | --- |
+| Claude Code | `claude mcp add blockyland -- npx -y blockyland-mcp@latest` |
+| Claude Code on native Windows | `claude mcp add blockyland -- cmd /c npx -y blockyland-mcp@latest` |
+| Gemini CLI | `gemini mcp add blockyland npx -y blockyland-mcp@latest` |
+| Codex | `codex mcp add blockyland -- npx -y blockyland-mcp@latest` |
+| Any MCP client | Command `npx`, arguments `-y blockyland-mcp@latest`, transport stdio |
+
+`@latest` makes npx fetch the newest version each time the app starts, so the server keeps up with the game.
+
+Gemini CLI: if it says your Google login is "no longer supported for Gemini Code Assist for individuals", sign it in with a Gemini API key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey) instead (set `GEMINI_API_KEY`). Google stopped serving Gemini CLI on the free personal login in 2026.
+
+For a JSON config (Claude Desktop, Cursor and others):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "blockyland": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "blockyland-mcp@latest"] }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Play
+
+1. Open Blockyland and start a world in **Creative**, or with cheats on.
+2. Press **C** to open the Agent Terminal, switch **Offline Mode** off, and open **🔌 Connect AI**. Once your AI app is
+   running it says "Found Claude Code" (or your app) and shows a 6-digit code.
+3. Tell your AI app: **"Connect to Blockyland with code 123456"**.
+4. Type requests in the Agent Terminal ("build a lighthouse on that cliff"). Your AI app reads them, builds, and
+   answers there. You can also ask it directly in the app.
+
+## What the AI app can do
+
+| Tool | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `connect` | Pair with your game by its code |
+| `wait_for_player_message` | Wait for what you type in the Agent Terminal (with a screenshot of your view, if you allow it) |
+| `get_state`, `look_around`, `screenshot` | See your position, the terrain, the room you are in, nearby structures and creatures, and your view |
+| `plan_reference`, `run_plan` | Build, edit or destroy structures, summon, give, set weather or time, hang paintings, and more |
+| `run_command` | Run a chat command with your permissions |
+| `say` | Answer you in the Agent Terminal |
+
+## Safety
+
+- The server listens only on your own computer (`127.0.0.1`, port 47615), and accepts the game only from
+  `blockyland.online` or a game served from `localhost`, so no other website can pose as it.
+- A game tab is used only after your AI app gives its code. Nothing reaches the AI app unless you switch Offline Mode
+  off.
+- The AI app can change the world only where you could use the Agent Terminal yourself (Creative, or cheats on).
+  Removing things needs an explicit confirmation from the app.
+- Screenshots go to the AI app only while "Let the AI see screenshots of my view" is checked.
+
+## Options
+
+| Environment variable | Default | Use |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `BLOCKYLAND_MCP_PORT` | `47615` | Another port; open the game with `?agent-control-port=<port>` to match |
+| `BLOCKYLAND_MCP_ORIGINS` | none | More page origins to accept, comma-separated (a self-hosted copy of the game) |
+
+`blockyland-mcp --help` prints the setup, `blockyland-mcp --version` the version.
