api

A command that registers a Steam MCP server using a Steam API key. An API key is a secret credential that lets a program request information from Steam.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a provided key, add the Steam server to Claude Code, replace an existing registration, and report setup errors.
Why use it?
It handles the setup needed before the other Steam commands can access Steam data.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 18 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 367 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Register the steam-mcp MCP server using the provided key: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1 — Validate the argument

Check if $ARGUMENTS is empty, blank, or literally "YOUR_KEY".

If so, display this message exactly (do not paraphrase):

No API key provided.

Get your free Steam API key at:
  https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Then run:
  /steam:api YOUR_KEY

Example (this is what a real key looks like):
  /steam:api A1B2C3D4E5F67890A1B2C3D4E5F67890

Stop here. Do not continue.

Step 2 — Detect the project path

Use the Bash tool to run pwd and capture the output as PROJECT_DIR.

The node entry point is: <PROJECT_DIR>/dist/index.js

On Windows, convert backslashes to forward slashes if needed.

Step 3 — Register the MCP server

Use the Bash tool to run:

claude mcp add steam-mcp -e STEAM_API_KEY=$ARGUMENTS -- node "<PROJECT_DIR>/dist/index.js"
  • If the command succeeds: tell the user steam-mcp registered. Restart Claude Code to activate the /steam:* commands.
  • If it fails with "already exists": run claude mcp remove steam-mcp then retry the add command, then report success.
  • If it fails for any other reason: show the raw error so the user can diagnose it.

Do NOT show the API key back to the user in any output.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

api is a command published in the GitHub repository stealthsrc/steam-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 367 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
