PokéAPI

Look up Pokémon, species, types, abilities, moves, items, and Pokédex data from the free PokéAPI.

Manual setup 10 tools

Overview

Query PokéAPI — the free RESTful Pokémon encyclopedia — for Pokémon, species, types, abilities, moves, items, evolution chains, encounters, and Pokédex entries. No PokéAPI account or API key is required.

PokéAPI is a community project and is not affiliated with Nintendo or The Pokémon Company.

Prerequisites

  • A stackgate.ai account

Getting credentials

  1. Open Integrations → PokéAPI.
  2. Click Activate — no API key is needed.

stackgate.ai identifies itself to PokéAPI with a hub User-Agent (support@stackgate.ai). For heavier use, you may optionally store a contact email in your integration credentials so requests use your own identifier and bypass the shared hub fair-use quota.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/pokeapi
  • Private gateway: pokeapi__* tools

Typical workflow: list or look up a Pokémon → fetch species for evolution chain ID → load types/abilities/moves → check encounters or Pokédex entries as needed.

Troubleshooting

  • Hub quota exceeded (429) — daily fair-use limits apply on the shared hub identity. Wait until tomorrow or add an optional contact email to your integration credentials.
  • Resource not found (404) — check the name spelling (kebab-case, e.g. mr-mime) or use a numeric national dex / resource ID.
  • Fair use — PokéAPI asks clients to cache resources and avoid abusive request rates. Prefer reusing results in the conversation rather than re-fetching the same Pokémon.
  • Attribution — data comes from pokeapi.co; follow their fair use policy when building products on top of this integration.
