MCP Server

Overview

MCP Server is a lightweight, high-performance server designed to coordinate multiplayer sessions, plugin integrations, and real-time messaging. It focuses on extensibility, predictable session handling, and low-latency communication for multiplayer experiences and agent-driven workflows.

Features

• Robust session lifecycle management (create, join, leave, recover)
• Plugin system with lifecycle hooks and sandboxed execution
• Real-time messaging over WebSockets (low-latency events & broadcasts)
• REST API for administrative operations and health checks
• Connection and memory caching strategies for performance
• Designed for horizontal scaling and containerized deployment

Why I built this

I built MCP Server to simplify the backend complexity of multiplayer and multi-agent applications. Many realtime systems either overcomplicate session management or lock you into rigid architectures. MCP Server provides a flexible, plugin-first foundation so developers can focus on game logic, agent behavior, or feature integrations without rebuilding the coordination layer.

Notable technical decisions

• Plugin-first architecture: lets teams add features (auth, matchmaking, analytics) without touching core code.
• WebSocket-based real-time transport with efficient buffer/stream handling for media or state diffs.
• Caching and memory strategies to reduce latency and improve reconnect behavior.
• Container-friendly deployment model to run distributed instances behind load balancers.

Current status & next steps

Active development: core session handling and plugin APIs are implemented and being hardened. Next steps include end-to-end integration tests, documentation for plugin authors, and a small demo client to showcase common flows (matchmaking → session → real-time sync).
