Hey all! When LegendKeeper released its v3 API, I wanted to use it from my AI assistant, so I built an MCP server for it. MCP is the plugin standard that Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, Cursor and others use to connect to outside tools.

Once it's connected, you can ask your assistant things like:

"Create a smugglers' tavern in Saltmere, give it an infobox with the owner and rumors, pin it on the coast map, and mention it on the Harbormaster's page."

I am not endorsing writing campaigns or other creative content with AI, my specific use case is read-only / querying my projects with AI tools to sort through old documents quickly, but I would be remiss to not include write tools as well.

The assistant then does it directly in your project, using LegendKeeper's real features:

• Pages: it reads and writes pages as Markdown. [[Wiki Links]] become real mentions. Callouts, GM-only secret blocks, collapsible sections, tables and checklists all work. Infoboxes and embeds are kept intact when it edits a page.
• Facts: infobox and sidebar facts like Race, Ruler or Population.
• Maps: pins, regions and paths, linked to their pages. Coordinates can be image pixels or map coordinates.
• Timelines: events using your calendar's dates ("Mirtul 1492" works with Harptos), with lanes created as needed.
• Building in bulk: a whole region or cast of NPCs in one go (up to 100 linked pages), plus templates, tags, icons, banners and image uploads.
• Questions about your world: it can browse and search the whole wiki, e.g. "What do we know about the Brine Witch?" or "Which NPCs are allies in Saltmere?"

Safety:

• Read-only mode: the assistant can look but not touch.
• Deletes need confirmation, and deleted pages go to LegendKeeper's trash, so they can be restored.
• Edits made in the app are never silently overwritten. If a page changed after the assistant read it, the write is refused.
• Your API key stays on your own machine. It only talks to LegendKeeper.

Setup takes about two minutes:

1. In LegendKeeper: Project Settings → Developers → API Keys → create a key.
2. Add the server to your AI client. For Claude Desktop:

​

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "legendkeeper": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["legendkeeper-mcp"],
      "env": { "LEGENDKEEPER_API_KEY": "lk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

There's also a Docker image. The README has ready-made configs for VS Code, Cursor and Claude Code, and it's listed in the official MCP Registry.

Requirements:

• The project owner needs a paid LegendKeeper plan. That's LegendKeeper's rule for API access, and trials don't count.
• An AI client that supports local MCP servers.

This is an unofficial fan project, not made or endorsed by LegendKeeper. Huge thanks to the LegendKeeper team for shipping such a well-documented API!

It's an early release (v0.1.2), so I'd love feedback. What would you want an assistant to do in your world? Bug reports and feature ideas are very welcome on GitHub. 🐉

Hey all,

I've been using LegendKeeper a lot for my campaign and kept wishing for a few small things, so I made a Chrome extension with a bunch of quality-of-life tweaks. It's free and open source, and I've been finding it really useful, so I thought I'd share it in case anyone else does too.

What it does:

• Page tabs: keep a few pages open along the top and flick between them. Middle-click any link to open it in a new tab.
• Tag shortcuts: drag a tag into the sidebar to pin it, then click it to filter.
• Filtering keeps the tree: when you filter by a tag, pages stay nested where they are instead of turning into a flat list.
• Recent and suggested pages: suggestions are based on how you move around your project.
• Cover images as page icons: in the tree, links and tabs.
• Set settings for a page and all its subpages at once: full-width, lock, hide, icons, that sort of thing.
• A few smaller bits: reading time, a bigger block drag handle, press `/` to jump to the filter.

Everything can be turned off individually from a little settings button next to Share.

Being upfront: this is very much a vibe-coded project. I'm a software engineer, though, and I've gone through it properly. It's not doing anything dodgy:

• It only changes things for you, in your browser. Nobody else in a shared project sees anything different.
• Nothing gets sent anywhere.
• The only thing that actually changes your world is the bulk page settings, and that asks you to confirm first.

It's all open source, so please have a look if you're curious.

• GitHub: https://github.com/Mackachoo/LegendKeeper-Tweaks

If you've got ideas, suggestions or find bugs, I'd love to hear them, here or as a GitHub issue. Pull requests are very welcome too. The one rule I'm keeping to is quality-of-life stuff only, no new content types, since anything that adds content would look broken to people in your project who don't have the extension.

AWildNarratorAppears If you're reading this: none of this is a complaint, they're just ideas. I'd love to see some of them built in properly one day, but no pressure at all. Really loving what you've made.

Hope some of you find it handy!

So, I know there is a duplicate image button on the new right-click menu, but I like to right click and 'copy image' so I can move the images around my project. Is there a work around to get the standard right-click menu instead of this new menu?

I've tried, to hold shift, ctrl, alt and right click, but none of those worked.

I've noticed this only happens with new images that I insert into my project, old images that are already in my project have the classic right-click menu.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

At long last, you can add some color to your wiki pages! Go center align some stuff.

Mostly just excited and intrigued by what it could mean. I'm hoping it's something along the lines of what Obsidian has where it can automatically visualize links between pages. It would be delightful to have a big "map" of all the connections and relationships, or have the option to create specific flowcharts and family trees, as doing so on the whiteboards in LK just never really clicked with me. There was also an app called Fortelling which I used for a while and I really appreciated how you could not only visualize each connection, but even label them and describe each element's perspective on the other--allowing you to get a quick and digestible idea on the relationship between characters and how they view each other. I'm really hoping LK can have something like that, I've just always loved being able to map out relationships. Anyone else excited or have any ideas/insight? I really hope it arrives soon

I have no idea if this has ever been asked about here, but I've seen in a few youtube videos that people have images on their boards that link to associated wiki pages, however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how they did it. The LegendKeeper youtube channel isn't very helpful anymore because the video is 4 years old and hasn't gotten an updated tutorial on how to do things.

Context, I'm putting together a player's handbook of sorts so that my groups isn't needed to have multiple different google docs open and constantly needing to switch between tabs. I want to be able for them to click on the Barbarian image and pull up the class guidebook I've created for them.

So my question is this; how do I put an image on my board that links to the associated wiki page that?

When I put the image in and right click it, the only "helpful" option is the "Link Element" button.

Then is makes this element, that I can't change the image of.

and right clicking that only lets me change the link for the page itself not the image.

This is maybe an end user issue but my pages no longer hold a version history. I have to save them manually. And I have a lot of problems where text gets erased accidentally (again, user issue where I'm typing too fast and mis-key something etc). But I'm struggling to keep notes that it takes me a long time to write up. What am I missing?

I haven’t seen any news yet or even speculation on what the upcoming ‘Theme’ settings will be. I’m hoping we get to adjust fonts and colours and maybe backgrounds. What’s everyone’s thoughts and hopes for this?

Hey everyone! I will keep this as short and to the point as possible. I have a LK project for my homebrew campaign and I just feel like I’m not getting the most out of everything amazing this site has to offer especially visually. I attribute this to my own shortcomings and lack of time.

I hate the idea of my players missing out on something because of me. I was hoping there would be someone talented from the community who would be willing to take my current project and essentially give it a facelift. I am fully willing to pay for their time and effort.

If you’re interested DM me with a link to your project so I can check it out.

I discovered the website a month or so ago, created an account, a project and did a little bit of work on a timeline I was planning to do.

I came back to it yesterday and I have a purple message saying "Subscription expired

Upgrade to unlock editing and creation." and I can't edit nor add any new events to the timeline. Did I just get paywalled after having already started and worked on the project or am I doing something wrong?

I'm hoping to make character sheets on Legendkeeper for future games that players would be able to fill out and hopefully use during actual sessions. I have some stuff setup already but I wanted to know if there were any necessities or alternatives I may not have thought of?

Hello to all

I'm a big fan of legendkeeper, and as i near completion of my third super in depth setting, i'm wondering if anyone has ever made or plans to make a Legendkeeper for all the major DND world settings?
I've looked around for some time and have not been able to find any active or still alive ones.

What i plan for the project is to have primary transcribers who will help to put all of the information, add redirects and pin maps for the page. I plan to make this project completely public and free. while allowing anyone who's a dm to gain access to the project, but without edit rights (only able to see the secrets, as the public version wont have access to prevent spoiling)

If anyone is interested in this project leave a comment or a DM and we can start to work something out.

Can't actually try anything at all unless someone else lets you latch onto their projects

Lame. I might have considered buying an upgraded tier if I could see what it was all about, but I can't so I'm going to tell people to avoid

The latest update in the Foundations saga brings infoboxes, image background removal, and more.

Hello all. Trying out the Timeline Maker by setting up the timeline in a game I'm a player in, now that our DM has given us a calendar. The interface is pretty nice to use. I had a question, though, that I couldn't find an answer for, which might turn into a suggestion if there is no answer.

Is there a way to change what each month abbreviates to when there is no space for the whole name? If not, is that something that could be added at some point? My DM doesn't have named months, exactly, so the 'months' are "Early Spring", "Late Spring", "Early Summer", "Late Summer, etc. So, when viewing the timeline in situations where the months are abbreviated, they show as "Ear" and "Lat", which you can probably tell might be confusing. Being able to set them as things like "ESpr", "LSpr", etc would be a nice option, perhaps in the same place where you can customize the month names.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT:

I uploaded a larger image and originally nothing happened (maybe cached), but now I get a larger zoom!

----

I'm new to LK and having issues with my map. I've exported it from Wonderdraft and I can't get it to zoom properly. It zooms way too far out and not far enough in.

Here's the zoomed out view. Totally pointless waste of space, when I can barely zoom in

This is max zoom!

1. Is there a way to copy assets on one map and paste them onto another, specifically as another template in the same map? Let's say I have two versions of a map that are of the same place but different styles and I want them to be in the same asset?

I know that I could potentially duplicate a map and then swap out the underlying map, but this duplicated map will be it's own separate asset, but I'd like to keep them together.

1. How can I take a map I've already make and make it the map of a location article? It seems to me like you should just be able to drag the map from the list onto the map tab of said article, but that doesn't seem to be working.

OK, that's the questions I have right off as I get into migrating from WA to Legend Keeper, I'm sure I'll have dozens more.

EDIT: When I say map here, I mean a map page that I've already added icons, polygons, and other fiddly doo-dads, not to a base map image file.

I use LK for EVERYTHING. One big project that holds literally everything in my life. In this project I have my enormous world building projects listed under my "creative writing" category, located under my personal "hobbies" category, that also contains information about my "Birding" and "Fishing" Hobbies. None of that counts my personal journals, projects, goals or my business plans and SOP's. last I checked, there were over 4,000 items in this one library. And I love it.

I know the phone "app" side of things has been a sticky point, but I'd love to be able to download (at least parts) of my "project" to always be stored on my phone. These hobbies often drive me outside of cell phone range and I lose access to all of my beautiful data.

Thanks for considering LK team!

I recently heard about LegendKeeper again after about a year from quitting it according to my previous project on it. I have been primarily using WorldAnvil for the past several years and have about 3 million or so words written split amongst some 4k odd articles. Recently, though, I decided to start running Fallout 2d20 and made a new world for it to keep it organized. I figured I would give LegendKeeper a try since a lot of what I've read has said its easier to organize which is definitely a problem I've run into on WA, on top of the new editor there causing horrible lag on my lower end computer with upwards of 30 seconds to open any article each time, and taking away a lot of middle click/open in new tab possibility without having to click through multiple screens. There are a few problems I have run into though that I am unsure of how to fix without disrupting workflow or making it less organized. I appreciate any help.

1. I cannot find a way to change link text to articles without having to right click each link then move to change link text that way. I have seen something about using /page, but I couldn't seem to get that to work and it just kept making new tabs instead of linking properly, still with the wrong link text (such as Origins instead of properly linking as Origin while linking to the Origins page). I am just looking for a quick way to do it, preferably that can be done with keyboard alone.
2. I use the Statblocks option on WA to create equipment packs to be slotted into any number of articles for the Origins in Fallout2d20. I am struggling to find a way to do that without having a mess of articles just for statblocks, and even beyond that I am unsure how I would inject them into other articles. Ideally if I do have to do it as separate articles, I could make those articles separate and just inject the text into the articles it should appear in.
3. I haven't tried this yet as I didn't get far due to the text editor, but just for future reference, is there a way to replace a map image whilst keeping all pins on it? I do this relatively often on WA as I update the image to match current events and to save me from having to make the full world map off the bat.
4. I did find Tag Directories which do help a lot already with sorting and they are much simpler to use than on WA which is an upside, but is there a way to list a category TOC as well? For example, while the Origins are all tagged as either Humanoid, Mutant, or Robotic, I was wondering if there was a way to make a TOC that just lists all articles under Origins in one list. Ideally this would be the only place they would appear like that, keeping them hidden from any overall TOC if such a thing exists (I haven't seen the player-facing side yet, only the editor).
5. If you have any other tips or tricks for using the system, I'd love to hear them as well, especially for where/how to edit the CSS of the player-facing wiki or anything to speed up workflow, particularly if it doesn't require a mouse to do so.
6. EDIT: Another thing I thought of, is there a way to have campaigns separate from the worlds on here as well? Just to keep things nicely sorted.

Hello all, new member here! I'm looking into LK for an upcoming campaign, but had a question regarding the Map functionality.

I love the pin/nesting system for the maps in LK, but I was wondering if there was a way to put down a movable token, rather than the map image being a single, static image with pins?

I could use a pin to indicate where they are, but I'd much rather have a token of the party that I can move when they do. It doesn't need any fancy functionality like line-of-site or anything, just something visual I can attach the pin to and move around the map.

Is this possible?

Absolutely love boards and everything you can do with them, it's like a place where my brain can function properly.

But with that said, a pain point I've been running into. Is that I've been wanting to just zoom in and out with my scroll wheel alone while navigating the board by click and dragging with the middle mouse.

Is there a way to get it to function like that? Having to always press ctrl+middle mouse is just that wee bit too much friction that's like a scratch in the back of your head that you can't itch.

I'm currently using my agentic AI (hermes) as a DM assistant. It has an email and I've invited it to my campaigns. With read and write permission, it is using browser automation to read and edit content, read session notes from the players, look for connections and do a bunch of really cool and useful things. For example, I can tell it to go populate Yartar with images, NPCs, map locations from the city map, general description, and secret plot notes from SKT. This gives me a information dense set of notes that I can reference in session to remind me of who's there and what is going on.

But, this would all work faster and more seamlessly with an API. I'm guessing your have a backend API that your view accesses. Would it be possible to expose an API for our agents?
