The Vale MCP server provides a modular Minecraft protocol server that can be extended with Vale's MCP tooling. This repository is the collaboration point for the Vale-MCP project, so the exact server features may evolve as releases are produced by the Vale/MCP team. In general, once the server is running, you can connect a Minecraft client or any compatible MCP tooling to the configured host/port to test and validate protocol handling, emulation of Vale-related MCP behaviors, and any integration hooks exposed by the server. If you are contributing or testing, refer to the Vale-MCP ecosystem for the latest commands, events, and capabilities that the server exposes (e.g., event hooks, packet handlers, and utilities for simulating Vale-specific client interactions).

Prerequisites:

• Node.js v14+ (or the version specified by the Vale-MCP project)
• npm or yarn

Installation steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/theletterf-vale-mcp-server.git
cd theletterf-vale-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Configure environment (optional):

# example
export PORT=8080
export MCP_ENV=production

4. Start the server:

npm start

5. Verify the server is running by checking the output logs for a listening message and then connect a Minecraft client or MCP testing tool to localhost:8080 (or the configured port).

Notes and caveats:

• The Vale MCP project is co-developed and may be evolving; refer to the linked Vale-MCP repositories for the latest release notes and configuration details.
• If the server does not start, ensure your Node.js version matches the project requirements and that the path to the server entry file (path/to/server.js) is correct for your setup.
• Check for any environment variable requirements documented in the Vale-MCP ecosystem and adjust PORT, MCP_ENV, or other variables accordingly.
• For troubleshooting, enable verbose logging if supported by the server (e.g., set LOG_LEVEL=debug).
• Since the README here is sparse, verify any additional configuration files or scripts that come with your particular release branch.
