About

Mastermind Play is a fully local, playable code-breaking peg game. new_game starts a game in 'guesser' mode (the engine holds a secret; you guess it) or 'codebreaker' mode (you hold a secret; the engine guesses it), with configurable code_length, colors, allow_repeats, and max_attempts. submit_guess (guesser mode) returns black/white peg feedback and in_progress/win/loss status. codebreaker_guess (codebreaker mode) computes the engine's next guess via real minimax over every code still consistent with feedback so far; provide_feedback records your reported black/white counts. render_board shows the guess history. reveal_secret shows a guesser-mode secret for an end-of-game reveal. game_info reports attempts and remaining candidates. rules_info explains it all. Stateless -- no server-side game storage, the caller passes state between calls (note: because of this, the secret in guesser mode necessarily lives in the state you hold -- avoid printing it before the game ends). Keyless; fully local; zero upstream calls; nothing stored.

Sources: Original implementation of classic Mastermind-style peg-feedback rules and Knuth's well-known 1977 minimax algorithm concept; fully local, zero upstream calls.

What Mastermind Play is for

A fully local, PLAYABLE code-breaking peg game — secret generation, guess submission, real black/white peg feedback, and win/loss-by-attempts detection. Colors are plain numbers (1..N), no trademarked names.

What it does

new_game starts a game in one of two modes: guesser (the engine generates a secret and you guess it) or codebreaker (you hold a secret in your head and the engine tries to guess it). In guesser mode, submit_guess checks your guess and returns black pegs (right color, right spot) and white pegs (right color, wrong spot). In codebreaker mode, codebreaker_guess computes the engine's next guess using a real Knuth-style information-theoretic minimax strategy — it tracks every code still logically consistent with every piece of feedback so far and always proposes the guess that minimizes the worst case — then provide_feedback records the black/white counts you report. render_board shows the guess history with peg symbols. reveal_secret shows a guesser-mode secret for a clean end-of-game reveal. game_info reports attempts used and (in codebreaker mode) how many codes remain possible. rules_info explains it all.

How state works

There is no server-side game storage. Every call takes the full game state (the exact object returned by the previous call) and returns a new one.

Important for guesser mode: because nothing is stored on the server, the secret code necessarily lives inside state itself — there's no way around that in a stateless design. Don't print the raw state object to the player before the game ends; use render_board, which never reveals it.

What it is not

Not a scripted or random opponent in codebreaker mode — its guesses come from a genuine, provable information-theoretic strategy (restricted to guessing from the still-possible codes, a common effective simplification of Knuth's original five-guess algorithm).

Mastermind Play — Privacy Policy

Effective 27 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Mastermind Play is. Mastermind Play is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf to run a local Mastermind-style code-breaking game — generating a secret, checking guesses, computing peg feedback, and choosing the engine's own guesses in codebreaker mode.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — the game state you (via your assistant) pass back on every call, your guess or feedback, and the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one) — plus standard server logs.

Everything is computed locally and nothing is stored. Mastermind Play has no database and no server-side game storage of any kind. The entire game state — including the secret code in guesser mode — lives only in your conversation with your assistant, which passes it back to us on each call and receives an updated copy in the response. We do not persist it, log it, or use it for anything beyond computing that one response. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your name, your conversation with the assistant beyond the bare game-state argument, or anything else about you. Each request is answered independently. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs (IP addresses and request paths, not request bodies) are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — computation is entirely local to this server. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Mastermind Play is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

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

  1. The Service. Mastermind Play is a stateless, playable code-breaking peg game engine, with an optional codebreaker mode using a real minimax strategy, accessed through an AI assistant or directly over MCP or HTTP. There is no server-side game storage: the caller holds and passes game state between calls.
  2. Entertainment only. Mastermind Play is provided for entertainment purposes. Nothing in it constitutes advice of any kind.
  3. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome. Do not use the Service to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the underlying infrastructure.
  4. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit, or discontinue it at any time.
  5. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: game state is computed statelessly from what you send us and nothing is stored.
  6. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder, and may be revoked for abuse.
  7. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss, injury, or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, the Service. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
