📜 Hermes Agent Config

For Hermes Agent users, add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  steamdb:
    command: "uvx"
    args: ["steamdb-mcp"]
    env:
      STEAM_API_KEY: ""

🔧 Example Usage

Once connected, ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Search for Forza Horizon 6 on Steam"
• "How many players are currently playing Elden Ring?"
• "What's the price of Crimson Desert?"
• "Show me the top 10 games on Steam right now"
• "Get recent news for Counter-Strike 2"

📦 Data Sources

This server combines multiple public APIs:

• Steam Web API — player counts, news, user libraries
• Steam Store API — game details, search, prices
• SteamSpy — top charts, ownership estimates, tags

Note: SteamDB itself does not have an official public API. This server provides SteamDB-style data by aggregating the above sources.

📝 Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• (Optional) A Steam Web API key for get_user_library
