Your chess coach, in Claude

Chess Goat teaches the Goat Pass course in your chat, starting from what your latest chess.com games show. Goat Pass members and Goat Report owners can connect what they already have.

Claude app

1. Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Name it Chess Goat, URL https://trychessgoat.com/mcp. No client ID or secret.
3. Ask “Teach me the chess lesson I need most. My chess.com username is …” The first lessons are free.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http chess-goat https://trychessgoat.com/mcp

Or install the plugin from the Chess Goat marketplace when it is listed. Boards are described in text there; the site's analysis board opens any position.

What to connect

When Claude asks to connect Chess Goat, pick any of these on the connect page:

• Your chess.com username: free, no email. Chess Goat reads your public games without you typing your username every time. It doesn't open a report.
• Goat Pass or Goat Report: sign in with the email you bought with. Your Goat Pass and every report bought with that email are found automatically, including reports delivered later. Lesson progress is shared with this website.
• A report bought with another email, or a gift: paste its private link from the delivery email on the connect page, never in a chat.

To change what's connected, disconnect Chess Goat in Claude's settings and connect again.
