# Cheat Engine MCP Bridge - TCP Enhanced Edition

A fork of an MCP bridge for Cheat Engine that replaces its Windows named-pipe transport with a native TCP connection, letting AI tools such as Cursor, Copilot and Claude drive local or remote Cheat Engine sessions for reverse engineering, pointer scanning and memory analysis.

This fork of an existing Cheat Engine MCP bridge swaps the original Windows named-pipe transport for a native C-based TCP bridge, adding remote Cheat Engine control over a configurable host, removing the pywin32 dependency so the Python side only needs the mcp package, and supporting multiple Cheat Engine instances at once through automatic port assignment. Compared with the original, it extends the connection timeout, adds automatic retry and reconnection, and includes a dedicated diagnostic console in its compiled bridge component, while removing the relay script the original needed for remote access.

The TCP transport has no authentication or encryption, so the project's own documentation says it should only be exposed on trusted local networks and never opened directly to the internet.

It is written mostly in Lua and released under the MIT license.
