MCP Server — Tool Reference

The LenserFight MCP server exposes the platform's core operations as Model Context Protocol tools so AI assistants like Claude can create lenses, manage battles, run workflows, and control agents on your behalf.

For a conceptual overview and authentication details, see the MCP Server Overview and Authentication pages.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add the following block to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lenserfight": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["lenserfight-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LENSERFIGHT_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
        "LENSERFIGHT_LENSER_ID": "<your-lenser-uuid>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. The server connects on first tool call.

LENSERFIGHT_API_KEY is a personal access token generated under Settings → API Keys → Personal Tokens. LENSERFIGHT_LENSER_ID defaults to the owner of that token and can be omitted if you only work with your own resources.

Tools

Tools follow the verb_noun naming convention. All get_* and list_* tools are read-only and safe to call without per-call confirmation. Tools annotated Destructive require confirm: true.
