README Excerpt

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that bridges Claude (and any other MCP client) to [RetroArch](https://www.retroarch.com/) via its built-in **Network Control Interface** (UDP, port 55355). Works against any libretro core (NES, SNES, Genesis, GB/GBC/GBA, PSX, N64, etc.) — give the model memory r/w, save-state automation, screenshot, pause / frame-advance / reset, and on-screen messages.
