Personal gaming context layer

AI-ready context for your real Steam library

Shelfbound lets ChatGPT and Claude actually see your Steam library: what you own, what's installed, what you've played, what you love. Free and open source, with optional hosted sync.

Get the open-source coreHow it works

Three steps

1

Scan locally

A free, open-source CLI reads your real Steam library: installed games per device, playtime, and your own collections. Nothing leaves your machine unless you want it to.

2

Sync (optional)

Upload your library so AI tools can read it even when your PC is off. The first upload is free. Automatic background sync is a paid convenience.

3

Ask your AI

Connect Claude or ChatGPT over MCP. Now they answer using your actual games and your saved taste, not a generic Steam catalog.

What you get

Your real library

What's installed on which device, what you own but haven't installed, playtime, and your own Steam collections. Not a generic catalog.

Your taste, remembered

Ratings, statuses, completion, notes. Shelfbound only saves what you actually tell it, and never guesses.

Works with any MCP client

The same tools run locally for free or hosted. Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, or anything that speaks MCP.

Open core

The scanner, snapshot format, CLI, and MCP server are open source. You can run the whole thing yourself.

Privacy first

Snapshots carry no install paths, credentials, or save data. And we never charge you to read your own library.

Knows what's recent

What you installed, played, or added lately, phrased so the AI actually weighs it.

Pricing

The core is free forever. Paid plans buy convenience like automation, history, and enrichment. They never buy access to your own data.
