Play Face to Face in Claude

Ask Claude to pick a game and open a room your friends can join from a browser link. Nobody needs a Play Face to Face account or an app.

The Play Face to Face connector lets Claude look up the games you can play here, suggest one for your group, and create a private room. Claude replies with an invite card that has the room code, a QR code and a link to share. Friends open the link in any browser and join.

What you can ask Claude to do

  • List the multiplayer games available right now, such as Big Two, Chess, Tic Tac Toe and Ludo.
  • Recommend a game for a number of players, a time limit or a level of difficulty.
  • Show the rules and settings a game supports before you start.
  • Create a private room and show an invite card with a link and QR code.
  • Check whether your friends have joined the room yet.

Add the connector

  1. Open connectors In Claude on the web or desktop, go to Customize > Connectors.
  2. Add it Find Play Face to Face in the directory and select Connect. If it is not listed for you yet, choose Add custom connector and enter https://mcp.playfacetoface.com/mcp as the URL.
  3. No sign-in The connector does not ask you to log in. It shows as connected straight away.
  4. Turn it on in a chat In a conversation, open + > Connectors and switch on Play Face to Face, then ask for a game.

Example prompts

  • "What multiplayer games can I play on Play Face to Face?"
  • "Recommend a quick game for two people that takes about 15 minutes."
  • "What rules does Big Two support?"
  • "Create a two-player Tic Tac Toe room and show me the invite."
  • "Set up a Ludo game for four of us."
  • "Has anyone joined the room yet?"

Sharing the invite

The invite card's Open button, named after the game, takes you into the room as its host. Copy invite link copies the guest link for you to paste into a group chat, and Join as guest opens that link. Friends sitting with you can scan the QR code with a phone camera.

Share only the guest link. The host button is for you. Rooms are temporary, and a room nobody joins closes on its own after a short wait. If that happens, ask Claude for a new one.

What the connector can see

When you use the connector, Claude sends us only what it needs for the request: the game you picked, the number of players, any game settings, preferences such as how long you want to play, and a room code when you check on a room. It does not send your name, email address or conversation.

What comes back is public room information: the game, the room code, the invite links, when the room expires and how many people have joined. The connector cannot see anyone's cards or tiles, moves in progress, player accounts, or video and audio from the game. We record anonymous room events, such as a room being created or an invite being copied, to check the connector works. Read the privacy policy for details.

If something goes wrong

  • Claude doesn't use the connector: check that Play Face to Face is switched on under + > Connectors in that chat, or name it in your request.
  • The invite link says the room has ended: the room closed because nobody joined in time. Ask Claude to create another.
  • A game isn't offered for your group size: each game has a fixed range of players. Ask Claude for games that fit your group.
  • Anything else: email contact@playfacetoface.com.
