app.framebench/framebench (MCP Server)

The MCP server provides estimated game FPS results for any GPU or Apple Silicon chip. It includes a limiter and associated tweaks, as described by its purpose: estimating performance for the specified hardware configuration.

🛠️ Key Features

Estimates game FPS for any GPU or Apple Silicon chip
Uses a limiter and tweaks to produce estimates

🚀 Use Cases

Predicting or comparing expected game performance on different GPUs
Estimating FPS specifically for Apple Silicon-based systems

⚡ Developer Benefits

Targets cross-hardware evaluation (GPU and Apple Silicon)
Provides FPS estimates with limiter/tweak settings included in the workflow

⚠️ Limitations

Output is described as “estimated” FPS, not measured benchmark results
Specific supported games, APIs, or tool interfaces are not provided in the available data

framebench MCP server

Ask whether a machine can run a game, and get a number back.

framebench answers "can this PC or Mac run this game" with an estimated fps range for any GPU or Apple Silicon chip across the most played games on Steam, plus which component limits you and the settings that raise it. Every response carries a citable URL.

Hosted endpoint: https://framebench.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP) — no key, no account
Website: https://framebench.app · Docs: https://framebench.app/mcp-docs/
Official MCP Registry: app.framebench/framebench

Use it

Most clients can point straight at the hosted endpoint:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "framebench": { "url": "https://framebench.app/mcp" }
  }
}

For clients that only support local (stdio) servers, this repo is a dependency-free bridge:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "framebench": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "framebench-mcp"] }
  }
}

Or with Docker:

bash

docker build -t framebench-mcp . && docker run --rm -i framebench-mcp

Tools

`check_game`

Can this rig run this game? Returns an fps range (never a single number or a fake percentage), the limiting component, levers that change the outcome, a confidence label, and a canonical URL.

Argument	Required	Notes
`game`	yes	Name or slug, e.g. `"Cyberpunk 2077"`
`gpu`	one of	Name or slug, e.g. `"RTX 3060"`, `"rtx-4060-laptop"`
`apple_chip`	one of	e.g. `"M2 Pro"`
`cpu`	no	Adds a CPU-limit check
`ram_gb`	no	Flags a shortfall against requirements
`resolution`	no	`1080p` (default), `1440p`, `4k`

jsonc

// → check_game { "game": "Elden Ring", "gpu": "RTX 3060" }
{
  "game": "ELDEN RING",
  "resolution": "1080p",
  "fps_range": { "low": 60, "high": 90 },
  "limiter": "gpu",
  "confidence": "modeled",
  "summary": "ELDEN RING on a GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p, high settings: expect roughly 60–90 fps (GPU-limited).",
  "url": "https://framebench.app/game/elden-ring/rtx-3060/"
}

`compare`

Two GPUs, two CPUs, or a GPU against an Apple chip, on one performance index, with spec facts.

`recommend_upgrade`

Given a rig and a target (game, resolution, fps), the smallest upgrades that clear it, ranked.

How the numbers work

Estimates are modelled, not measured, and the site says so. Ranges come from a curated performance index (desktop RTX 3060 = 100) scaled against each game's official Steam requirements, and widen as confidence drops. Hard rules: laptop GPUs are separate parts with their own TGP bands rather than aliases of desktop cards; Windows-only games on Apple Silicon get an explicit translation-layer estimate instead of a silently copied PC number; VRAM and unified-memory cliffs override the model.
