Gearcoleco is a ColecoVision emulator written in C++ for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and RetroArch. It includes an embedded MCP server for AI-assisted debugging and tooling, exposing execution control, memory inspection, breakpoints, disassembly, and hardware status.
From the registry: MCP server for Gearcoleco ColecoVision emulator
$ brew install --cask drhelius/geardome/gearcolecohttps://github.com/drhelius/Gearcoleco/releases/tag/1.6.2Please install the `gearcoleco` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Optional prerequisites:
- Install Gearcoleco — Install the Gearcoleco emulator binary using a platform-appropriate release or package manager. The MCP server is embedded in the emulator. Run: `brew install --cask drhelius/geardome/gearcoleco` (https://github.com/drhelius/Gearcoleco/releases/tag/1.6.2)
- ColecoVision BIOS — Gearcoleco needs a BIOS to run. The README recommends the original BIOS with md5 2c66f5911e5b42b8ebe113403548eee7.
- Linux SDL dependency — On Linux, you may need the SDL3 runtime library (`libsdl3`).
- Windows runtime dependencies — On Windows, you may need the Visual C++ Redistributable and OpenGL Compatibility Pack. (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572)
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `gearcoleco`
- args: ["--mcp-stdio"]
Note: Gearcoleco also supports HTTP transport via `--mcp-http` and optional `--mcp-http-port N`, but the simplest canonical MCP config is stdio. The MCP server is built into the emulator binary. `--headless` can be added when running without GUI, and a ROM path may be passed as an additional argument if desired.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.AI orchestration with hive-mind swarms, neural networks, and 87 MCP tools for enterprise dev.
