README Excerpt

MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude Code, etc.) grounded chess analysis via Stockfish. Eliminates hallucinated moves and illegal lines by letting the agent validate positions and query the engine directly. **Prerequisites:** [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Claude Code](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code) (`claude`).
