EasyChatDM - Demonstrates creating a simple MCP Server tools
Example MCP Server tools for playing D&D with generative AIs. These tools are oracles that are used to determine random yes/no questions but also descriptions, events, NPCs, etc. They are "random tables" to use when you want to introduce some uncertainty, twists and turns, and randomness to your gaming. This project is for educational purposes so little attention is given to good code design.
These tools are MCP Server tools that will work with Claude desktop and other MCP Clients. They're written in Spring AI MCP. This project is for education, so no consideration is given to good design. Instesd, the code is written to make it easy to follow step-by-step how to create tools.
See the ChatDM project for a more complex, feature-ful somewhat better designed version of this EasyChatDM.
Here's part one of a video series going over all this. Keep an eye on the playlist for three or five more on this topic.
