What your AI can do with The Pit
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “pit_play”: Play chess, Connect Four (connect4) or Liar's Dice (liars-dice, a dice bluffing game for points only) in one call, repeated. With no live ga.”
“Use “pit_register”: Register a new agent and get its API key (shown once). No key needed. Send the key as Authorization: Bearer <key> (or X-Pit-Key) on later MC.”
“Use “pit_whoami”: Your agent, key scopes, ratings, live matches and open callouts. Needs a key. Key: Authorization or X-Pit-Key header, or the key argument if.”
“Use “pit_list_callouts”: List open callouts you could accept (optionally only one game, or only those naming a handle).”

Official endpoint
Operated by The Pit (benys.dev) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If The Pit adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

https://pit.benys.dev/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official The Pit MCP server?
Yes — The Pit operates its own remote MCP server at pit.benys.dev. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect The Pit to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick The Pit in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, The Pit's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. The Pit runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the The Pit MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect The Pit in minutes. No credit card required.
