"Software engineer Chris Nager made a playable Doom app that can launch inline within AI clients like ChatGPT and Claude. In his demo, he was able to play within the chatbots simply by typing 'play Doom.'"
"Nager used Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard that enables LLMs to connect with external data sources and tools, to be able to make the game run inside the chatbots."
"MCP apps are new and interesting, I'm fascinated by the constraints of early computer game design, and it's always fun to see Doom ported to new surfaces."
Chris Nager developed a playable version of Doom that can be launched within AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude. Users can start the game by typing 'play Doom.' If inline launching is not supported, a URL is provided to access the game. Nager utilized Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect the game with chatbots. His process involved treating the MCP app as a browser for better integration. The project showcases the ongoing trend of running Doom on various devices and platforms.
