Re: A playable DOOM MCP app
#22Was a little disappointed that this didn't result in the agent playing Doom itself over MCP.
Still this is very cool! (And if that had been what you'd implemented, my disappointment would have been that it wasn't the reverse. :P Can it do both?)

Glad to hear it! This stuff is fascinating and rapidly evolving. I’ve been learning by doing. Happy hacking.
Re: A playable DOOM MCP app
#24I read this and I did not understand it. An MCP is synthesizing DOOM frames from a training set? What is this doing
It took me a reread and some thinking to realize what was going on. The 'MCP app' he's referring to here is basically a browser front-end replacement like electron. So what he's doing here is running DOOM as apart of that browser run-time and passing it through to the front-end. It's less "playing DOOM through the AI" and more "Playing DOOM while the AI can watch".
Thank you for this explanation. So the AI can respond based on the DOOM game that it’s watching? E.g. Could you ask the chatbot for advice on what to do next on the current game level?

#25Interesting experiment!
I think tool calling (such as MCP) is really underrated. People think of it as a way to connect to Google Drive etc but the potential for MCP to power actual in-chat apps is very under-explored.
I've been working on something called Liveclip which is like tables in chat: just a few hours ago I implemented a way for ChatGPT (etc) to surface sentences within the US Constitution: https://x.com/firasd/status/2049187034066198658
I've also thought that games are an obvious way to explore chat-native MCP apps. Hangman for example. Also small utilities like a clock. In fact I have a no-auth remote MCP clock that can be added to any client right now deployed straight from https://github.com/firasd/mcpclock to https://mcpclock.firasd.workers.dev/mcp <-- works in Claude .ai, Claude iOS, Claude Code, Codex, etc right now

Timestamp?

Kind of? Even watching is probably a bit of a stretch here. The point of an MCP server is to be a sort of AI translator for whatever you're inputting. Here we're inputting an iframe that's running a wasm binary. So I imagine in theory all the AI sees is the actual iframe and whatever is in memory currently for the wasm game. Funny enough without some sort of screenshot tool on top of this I'm not sure the AI can actually 'see' the game at all.

I am not sure if it aligns to the approach in OP's article but it's the last ~minute or two of the linked video.
