Something Awful Forums MCP Server

An MCP server that connects to the Something Awful Forums using your account credentials. It lets Claude browse threads, read posts, search the forums, look up users, and manage your private messages.

Setup

1. Install dependencies

pip install mcp httpx beautifulsoup4 pydantic

2. Set credentials as environment variables

export SA_USERNAME="your_username"
export SA_PASSWORD="your_password"

3. Configure in Claude Code / Cowork

Add this to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json or equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sa_forums": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/sa_mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "SA_USERNAME": "your_username",
        "SA_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

Tool Description
sa_login Authenticate with SA using your credentials
sa_list_forums Browse all forum categories and sub-forums
sa_list_threads List threads in a specific forum, including unread counts and jump-to-unread links when available
sa_get_thread Read posts from a thread (paginated)
sa_search Full-text search across all forums
sa_get_user Look up a user's profile
sa_list_pms Browse your private message inbox/folders
sa_get_pm Read a specific private message
sa_list_usercp_threads List threads in your user control panel, including unread counts and jump-to-unread links when available

Usage

After connecting the MCP server, start a conversation with:

"Log in to SA and show me the forum list"

Claude will call sa_login first, then sa_list_forums — and you can go from there.

Notes

  • SA doesn't have a public API, so this server parses HTML. If SA updates their layout significantly, some tools may need selector updates.
  • Be respectful of SA's servers — don't use this to scrape at high volume.
  • Credentials are passed via environment variables and never stored by the server.
