MonsterHunterWorld SDK

Monster Hunter World API client, generated from the OpenAPI spec.

The Monster Hunter World API provides detailed information about the game, including items, monsters, armor, skills, events, and more.

TypeScript, Python, PHP, Golang, Ruby, Lua SDKs, a CLI, an interactive REPL, and an MCP server for AI agents — all generated from one OpenAPI spec by @voxgig/sdkgen.

Entities, not endpoints

This SDK exposes the API as a small set of semantic entities — Ailment, Armor, ArmorSet, Charm, Decoration, Event, Item, Location, Monster, MotionValue, Skill and Weapon — that you call directly, instead of assembling URL paths and query strings. Entities are Capitalised to mark them as the primary surface, each with the operations they support (list, load):

const client = new MonsterHunterWorldSDK()
const items = await client.Ailment().list()

Thinking in entities keeps the mental model small — for people and AI agents alike — rather than reasoning about raw HTTP routes and query parameters.

Offline unit testing

Every SDK ships a built-in test mode that swaps the HTTP transport for an in-memory mock, so your unit tests run fully offline — no server, no network, and no credentials:

TypeScript

const client = MonsterHunterWorldSDK.test()
const ailments = await client.Ailment().list()
// ailments is an array of bare Ailment records populated with mock data
console.log(ailments)

Python

client = MonsterHunterWorldSDK.test()
ailments = client.Ailment().list()
print(ailments)

PHP

// Seed fixture data so offline calls resolve without a live server.
$client = MonsterHunterWorldSDK::test([
    "entity" => ["ailment" => ["test01" => ["id" => "test01"]]],
]);
$ailments = $client->Ailment()->list();

Golang

client := sdk.Test()
result, err := client.Ailment(nil).List(
    nil, nil,
)

Ruby

# Seed fixture data so offline calls resolve without a live server.
client = MonsterHunterWorldSDK.test({
  "entity" => { "ailment" => { "test01" => { "id" => "test01" } } },
})
ailments = client.Ailment.list()

Lua

local client = sdk.test()
local results, err = client:Ailment():list()

Packages

Quickstart

TypeScript

import { MonsterHunterWorldSDK } from '@voxgig-sdk/monster-hunter-world'

const client = new MonsterHunterWorldSDK()

// List all ailments (returns Ailment[])
const ailments = await client.Ailment().list()
for (const ailment of ailments) {
  console.log(ailment)
}

See the TypeScript README for the full guide.

Surfaces

Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

The generated MCP server exposes every operation in this SDK as an MCP tool that Claude, Cursor or Cline can call directly. Build and register it:

cd go-mcp && go build -o monster-hunter-world-mcp .

Then add it to your agent’s MCP config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monster-hunter-world": {
      "command": "/abs/path/to/monster-hunter-world-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Entities

The API exposes 12 entities:

The operations available across these entities are load, list — see each entity’s own list above for exactly which it supports.

Quickstart in other languages

Python

from monsterhunterworld_sdk import MonsterHunterWorldSDK

client = MonsterHunterWorldSDK()

# List all ailments (returns a list, raises on error)
ailments = client.Ailment().list()
for ailment in ailments:
    print(ailment)

# Load a specific ailment (returns the record, raises on error)
ailment = client.Ailment().load({"id": 1})
print(ailment)

PHP

<?php
require_once 'monsterhunterworld_sdk.php';

$client = new MonsterHunterWorldSDK();

// List all ailments (returns an array; throws on error)
$ailments = $client->Ailment()->list();
print_r($ailments);

// Load a specific ailment (returns the bare record; throws on error)
$ailment = $client->Ailment()->load(["id" => 1]);
print_r($ailment);

Golang

import sdk "github.com/voxgig-sdk/monster-hunter-world-sdk/go"

client := sdk.New()

// List all ailments
ailments, err := client.Ailment(nil).List(nil, nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(ailments)

Ruby

require_relative "MonsterHunterWorld_sdk"

client = MonsterHunterWorldSDK.new

# List all ailments (returns an Array; raises on error)
ailments = client.Ailment.list
puts ailments

# Load a specific ailment (returns the bare record; raises on error)
ailment = client.Ailment.load({ "id" => 1 })
puts ailment

Lua

local sdk = require("monster-hunter-world_sdk")

local client = sdk.new()

-- List all ailments
local ailments, err = client:Ailment():list()
print(ailments)

-- Load a specific ailment
local ailment, err = client:Ailment():load({ id = 1 })
print(ailment)

Direct and prepare

For endpoints the entity model doesn’t cover, use the low-level methods:

• direct(fetchargs) — build and send an HTTP request in one step.
• prepare(fetchargs) — build the request without sending it.

Both accept a map with path, method, params, query, headers, and body. See the How-to guides below.

How-to guides

Make a direct API call

When the entity interface does not cover an endpoint, use direct:

TypeScript:

const result = await client.direct({
  path: '/api/resource/{id}',
  method: 'GET',
  params: { id: 'example' },
})
if (result instanceof Error) {
  throw result
}
console.log(result.data)

Python:

result = client.direct({
    "path": "/api/resource/{id}",
    "method": "GET",
    "params": {"id": "example"},
})

PHP:

$result = $client->direct([
    "path" => "/api/resource/{id}",
    "method" => "GET",
    "params" => ["id" => "example"],
]);

Go:

result, err := client.Direct(map[string]any{
    "path":   "/api/resource/{id}",
    "method": "GET",
    "params": map[string]any{"id": "example"},
})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(result)

Ruby:

result = client.direct({
  "path" => "/api/resource/{id}",
  "method" => "GET",
  "params" => { "id" => "example" },
})

Lua:

local result, err = client:direct({
  path = "/api/resource/{id}",
  method = "GET",
  params = { id = "example" },
})

Advanced

Everyday use only needs the sections above. This explains the internals behind every call — relevant when writing custom features.

Every SDK call runs the same five-stage pipeline:

1. Point — resolve the API endpoint from the operation definition.
2. Spec — build the HTTP specification (URL, method, headers, body).
3. Request — send the HTTP request.
4. Response — receive and parse the response.
5. Result — extract the result data for the caller.

A feature hook fires at each stage (e.g. PrePoint, PreSpec, PreRequest), so features can inspect or modify the pipeline without forking the SDK.

Features

Pass custom features via the extend option at construction time.
