How to connect Chess Esca
Chess Esca runs locally from a Python package published to PyPI: chess-esca-mcp version 0.4.0. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Python; clients usually start it with uvx (from uv) or after pip install — the usual command is uvx chess-esca-mcp.
In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):
{
"mcpServers": {
"chess-esca-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"chess-esca-mcp"
]
}
}
