Claude Desktop FIDE Laws of Chess law_inspect
How to: Claude Desktop FIDE Laws of Chess law_inspect
Add FIDE Laws of Chess to Claude Desktop
-
01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"fide-chess": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.arxo.io/mcp/fide-chess"
]
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
-
03
Ask for something law_inspect does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls law_inspect itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that FIDE Laws of Chess's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
Set these first
FIDE Laws of Chess will not start until these are set, so law_inspect never becomes available.

FIDE_CHESS_MCP_CALL_TIMEOUT
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 October 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
