Our reading of Steam, from the data

Steam is a gaming MCP server.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio.

Install Steam MCP server

claude mcp add steam-mcp-server -- npx -y steam-mcp-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "steam-mcp-server": {

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "steam-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).
