What CurseForge (BYOK) is for

CurseForge (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own CurseForge data through the CurseForge API with a key you supply (CurseForge API key). Read-only: 10 tools (list_games, get_game, list_categories, search_mods, get_mod, get_mod_description, list_mod_files, get_mod_file, get_file_changelog, list_minecraft_versions). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.curseforge.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by CurseForge. CurseForge and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which games does CurseForge have mods for?"
• "Show CurseForge game 432"
• "What mod categories does Minecraft have on CurseForge?"
• "Find popular Fabric mods for Minecraft 1.20.1 about minimaps"
• "Tell me about CurseForge mod 238222"
• "Show the full description of CurseForge mod 238222"

What it does

• list_games: List the games available on CurseForge to your key (for example Minecraft is game ID 432) with name, slug and status.
• get_game: Get one game by ID: name, slug, icon and status.
• list_categories: List the classes (such as Mods, Modpacks, Resource Packs) and categories of a game, with IDs usable as search filters.
• search_mods: Search the mods (projects) of a game by text, category, game version and mod loader, sorted by popularity, downloads, update date and more.
• get_mod: Get one mod (project) by ID: summary, download count, authors, links, dates and popularity rank.
• get_mod_description: Get the long description of a mod as HTML (long text; cut off if very large).
• list_mod_files: List the files (versions) of a mod with release type (1 release, 2 beta, 3 alpha), date, size, downloads, game versions and dependencies.
• get_mod_file: Get one file of a mod by file ID: name, release type, date, size, game versions and dependencies.
• get_file_changelog: Get the changelog of a mod file as HTML.
• list_minecraft_versions: List Minecraft game versions known to CurseForge with approval state and release info.

BYOK key

You bring your own CurseForge CurseForge API key (https://console.curseforge.com/). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.curseforge.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://docs.curseforge.com/rest-api/ (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Live from the CurseForge API (api.curseforge.com) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://docs.curseforge.com/rest-api/. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by CurseForge. CurseForge and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your CurseForge account.

Built for: Worldwide. Languages: English.

CurseForge (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What CurseForge (BYOK) is. CurseForge (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own CurseForge data: Search and read CurseForge games, mod categories, mods, mod files and changelogs (Minecraft and other moddable games) with your own API key. You bring your own CurseForge CurseForge API key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one CurseForge call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.curseforge.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If CurseForge rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What CurseForge receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under CurseForge's own terms and privacy policy. CurseForge acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer CurseForge gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your CurseForge data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. CurseForge (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at CurseForge at any time to end all access.

Children. CurseForge (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under CurseForge's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
