You can access Epic Games Store free games information through an MCP server that exposes handy tools to fetch currently free games and upcoming free games. This lets your MCP client query up-to-date game details and links in a consistent, scriptable way.

How to use

Configure your MCP client to connect to the epic_free_games server using the stdio integration. This enables you to request lists of currently free games and upcoming free games from Epic Games Store, then use the results in your workflows or dashboards.

To connect, add the following MCP server entry to your client configuration. It runs locally through the uvx launcher and uses the provided package name to start the server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "epic-free-games": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "description": "Get free game information from Epic Games Store.",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-epic-free-games"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TIME_ZONE": "Asia/Shanghai"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Python installed (Python 3.x) and that you can install Python packages with pip.

Step 1: Install the MCP Epic Free Games package.

pip install mcp-epic-free-games

Step 2: Use the MCP client to connect to the server as described in the usage section. The server is intended to be run via the stdio interface using uvx as shown in the configuration example.
