What is cheatengine-mcp-tcp-bridge AGENTS.md?

A bridge that lets AI agents use Cheat Engine to inspect and change a running Windows program. Cheat Engine is a tool for examining a program's memory and behavior while it runs.

It supports memory and process work, code injection, symbols, assembly, GUI automation, input, cheat tables, and kernel-mode operations.

It connects AI requests to Cheat Engine, so agents can work with the program through a defined interface rather than manual tool操作.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02256	$0.02256
Opus 5.5	$0.00902	$0.00902

Security

Grade A, and why

cheatengine-mcp-tcp-bridge AGENTS.md 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 2mo ago.

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 this project is

A three-tier bridge that lets AI agents (via MCP) drive Cheat Engine to inspect and manipulate a running Windows process. See README.md for user-facing docs. Current wire/app version: 12.0.0. After the v12 overhaul the bridge exposes ~180 MCP tools covering memory, process lifecycle, code injection, symbol management, assembly/compilation, GUI automation, input, cheat tables, and kernel-mode operations.

Commands

# Install Python deps (Windows only — uses pywin32)
pip install -r MCP_Server/requirements.txt

# Integration test suite (requires: CE running, ce_mcp_bridge.lua loaded, a process attached)
python MCP_Server/test_mcp.py

Loading the Lua side in Cheat Engine: File -> Execute Script -> open MCP_Server/ce_mcp_bridge.lua -> Execute. Some CE builds expose this through Table -> Show Cheat Table Lua Script; in that case execute dofile([[C:\path\to\cheatengine-mcp-bridge\MCP_Server\ce_mcp_bridge.lua]]) instead of pasting the full bridge. Success log: [MCP v12.0.0] MCP Server Listening on: CE_MCP_Bridge_v99. Re-executing the script auto-calls StopMCPBridge / cleanupZombieState first, so reloading is safe.

There is no build step, no linter, and no unit-test harness. test_mcp.py is a single end-to-end script that talks to the live Named Pipe; running a "single test" means editing the all_tests dict in test_mcp.py:main or commenting out sections.

The MCP server is normally spawned by the AI client over stdio, but can be launched directly with python MCP_Server/mcp_cheatengine.py for debugging (it blocks waiting for stdio JSON-RPC).

Architecture

Three processes, two IPC layers:

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.
