Two servers are included:

1. fc26-mcp-file — parses and edits raw Squads* files in FBCHUNKS/T3DB format.
2. fc26-mcp-live — controls FC 26 through xAranaktu's Live Editor Lua API while the game runs.

The package uses placeholder paths. Set your actual paths via command-line flags or environment variables:

What	Flag	Environment Variable	Example

Quick start

fc26-mcp-file --squad-file "C:\Path\To\SquadsFile"

The bundled FC 26 metadata is used automatically. You can override it with --meta-file.

2. Load Career Mode.
3. Install the Lua bridge into Live Editor once:

4. In Live Editor, go to Features → Lua Engine and run le_bridge.lua.

MCP client config

Use mcp_config.json as a template, or add these servers manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fc26-file": {
      "command": "fc26-mcp-file",
      "args": [
        "--squad-file",
        "C:\Path\To\SquadsFile"
      ]
    },
    "fc26-live": {
      "command": "fc26-mcp-live",
      "args": [
        "--bridge-root",
        "C:\Path\To\Your\FC 26 LE\le_bridge"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Open claude_desktop_config.json and add the server blocks above.

Cursor

Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add MCP Server, paste the command and args.

Cline / Roo Code

Add the JSON to your MCP settings file.

Pi

Variable	Purpose

Safety

• Always back up your squad files and Career Mode saves before editing.
• Career Mode tools only work inside Career Mode.
• le_execute_lua can run arbitrary code — use it carefully.
