+ # How to connect Lichess to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent
17
+
18
+ **Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Lichess account.** Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in Lichess account to any AI agent, so you can ask in plain words and the AI accepts team join requests and sends updates to your team for you.
19
+
20
+ ## What you can ask
21
+
22
+ > Accept the join requests from tom_k and anna_plays to my "Riverside Chess Club" team.
23
+
24
+ > Show me all pending join requests for my team and who sent them this week.
25
+
26
+ > Send a message to all members of "Riverside Chess Club": our blitz arena starts Thursday at 7 pm.
27
+
28
+ > Accept every join request from today, then tell the team that 4 new players joined.
29
+
30
+ > Message my team that Saturday's lesson with coach Maria moves to 10 am.
31
+
32
+ ## Connect in 2 minutes
33
+
34
+ Get your API key at https://cotlet.dev/app and export it as `COTLET_API_KEY`.
35
+
36
+ ### Claude Code
37
+
38
+ ```bash
39
+ claude mcp add --transport http cotlet https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ ### ChatGPT
43
+
44
+ Settings → Apps → add connector URL `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`, then sign in with Cotlet.dev. No API key needed.
45
+
46
+ ### Cursor
47
+
48
+ Copy `.cursor/mcp.json` from this repo into your project:
49
+
50
+ ```json
51
+ {
52
+ "mcpServers": {
53
+ "cotlet": {
54
+ "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
55
+ "headers": {
56
+ "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
57
+ }
58
+ }
59
+ }
60
+ }
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ ## Run it locally (stdio)
64
+
65
+ This repo is a real MCP server. It speaks MCP over stdio, lists its Lichess tools without any key, and forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev server. The hosted URL above stays the recommended way. Use this when your client only starts local servers.
66
+
67
+ ```json
68
+ {"mcpServers":{"lichess":{"command":"uvx","args":["lichess-mcp"],"env":{"COTLET_API_KEY":"your-key"}}}}
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ Or with Docker:
72
+
73
+ ```bash
74
+ docker build -t lichess-mcp .
75
+ docker run -i --rm -e COTLET_API_KEY lichess-mcp
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ Tools: `lichess_guide`, `lichess_status`, `lichess_open`, `lichess_read`, `lichess_click`, `lichess_type`, `lichess_close`. Without `COTLET_API_KEY` a tool call answers: "Set COTLET_API_KEY. Get a key at https://cotlet.dev/app".
79
+
80
+ ## Command line
81
+
82
+ Python 3.10+, nothing else to install. From PyPI:
83
+
84
+ ```bash
85
+ pip install lichess-mcp # or run it once: uvx lichess-mcp connect
86
+ lichess-mcp connect
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ Or straight from this repo:
90
+
91
+ ```bash
92
+ export COTLET_API_KEY="your-key"
93
+ python3 lichess_agent.py connect # ready config for Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT
94
+ python3 lichess_agent.py status # is Lichess ready in your Cotlet.dev account
95
+ python3 lichess_agent.py guide # Lichess screens and sign-in link
96
+ python3 lichess_agent.py read # open Lichess, read the page, close the browser
97
+ python3 lichess_agent.py tools # list Cotlet.dev tools
98
+ python3 lichess_agent.py serve # start the stdio MCP server (same as no argument)
99
+ ```

+
101
+ ## Questions from Lichess users
102
+
103
+ **Does Lichess have an API?**
104
+
105
+ Lichess has a full, free REST API with personal and OAuth tokens, but no official MCP server (checked 17 Oct 2026). The API covers teams, Arena and Swiss tournaments, studies, broadcasts, challenges and game export, so the gap is a hosted, maintained MCP with no token to create, scope or revoke. Cotlet.dev works in your own signed-in Lichess account, so your AI agent can accept team join requests and message your team with no API key and no code.
106
+
107
+ **How do I connect Lichess to ChatGPT?**
108
+
109
+ Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`), sign in to Lichess once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no Lichess API key.
110
+
111
+ **Is there a way to use Claude with Lichess?**
112
+
113
+ Yes. In Claude Code run the one-line `claude mcp add` command above; in the Claude app add `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` as a custom connector. Claude then works in your own Lichess account.
114
+
115
+ **Is there a Lichess MCP server?**
116
+
117
+ We found no official Lichess app in the ChatGPT or Claude directories. Cotlet.dev is a hosted MCP server that works in Lichess for you, 24/7, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.

6
+ # Lichess through Cotlet.dev
7
+
8
+ ## What it does
9
+
10
+ Cotlet.dev runs your own Chrome in the cloud. The agent works in Lichess (lichess.org) there, signed in as you.
11
+
12
+ ## Setup
13
+
14
+ 1. Get an API key at https://cotlet.dev/app.
15
+ 2. Add the MCP server `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` with header `Authorization: Bearer <your key>`.
16
+
17
+ ## Working rules
18
+
19
+ - First call `cotlet_app_guide` with app "lichess".
20
+ - Then use `cotlet_browser_open`, `cotlet_browser_read` and `cotlet_browser_click`, one call at a time. Wait for each answer.
21
+ - At a sign-in page or CAPTCHA, stop and give the user the browser link.
22
+ - Ask the user before sending, publishing, deleting or paying.
23
+ - Close the browser with `cotlet_browser_close` when done.
