# Lichess MCP tools

> The Lichess MCP tools on the Cotlet server: every operation with its input schema, a tools/call example and an example result.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/lichess

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Lichess has 15 operations on the Cotlet MCP server, in lichess_read and lichess_write. Your agent picks one in `operation`; the tool carries each operation's input schema. Open an operation for its schema and an example call.

- MCP server: `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`
- MCP tools: `lichess_read`, `lichess_write`
- Connects with: Your own Lichess account. Team tools need a team leader role, and sending team updates needs the Updates permission. You sign in yourself in your Cloud Browser; Cotlet never plays moves for you.

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
