# PlayDrop

Publishes, tests and shares the browser games you build with an AI agent, straight from your project.

## What it does

PlayDrop wires your agent to a remote MCP server at `https://mcp.playdrop.ai/mcp` and adds one skill, `playdrop-ai`. You sign in to your PlayDrop account with OAuth. Nothing else gets installed — the public PlayDrop CLI and the older CLI-based skills are retired, and games now go out through the PlayDrop connector.

Your agent can upload `index.html` with its `catalogue.json` metadata, an icon, hero art, screenshots, a trailer and a teaser, localized per language. A version can go up privately for testing first, then be made public from the game page. Local builds get checked before upload: the agent opens a Dev URL such as `https://www.playdrop.ai/creators/<username>/apps/game/<slug>/dev?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A5173%2F`, which wraps your local server in the normal PlayDrop host and SDK. No tunnel required. Should the built-in browser refuse to reach your local server, open that same address in your everyday browser and approve the local-network prompt; the agent tells you which browser worked.

The optional client SDK drops in with a single script tag and brings leaderboards, achievements, cloud saves, social features and multiplayer. Multiplayer can run on your own server, or you can upload a Colyseus `server.js` to PlayDrop's free hosted game servers with MongoDB. The MIT-licensed package ships no server implementation and no credentials, so access tokens do not belong in it.
