# AccelByte

> AccelByte is a fully managed game backend platform for building, launching, and operating online and multiplayer games, used by studios from indie teams to AAA publishers including Krafton, Dreamhaven, Theorycraft, and AEXLAB.

AccelByte is engine-agnostic (Unreal, Unity, custom stacks) and supports cross-platform deployment across PC, console, mobile, and VR. It's available as Public Cloud (fully managed, multi-tenant) or Private Cloud (dedicated, single-tenant) — see Pricing below. AccelByte also ships a CLI, MCP servers, and an AI Marketplace plugin so AI coding assistants can build against its backend directly — see AI & Developer Tooling below.

## Core Products

- [AccelByte Gaming Services](https://accelbyte.io/gaming-services): Modular managed backend platform for online and multiplayer games — covers Foundations, Online, and Multiplayer service packages
- [AccelByte Development Toolkit](https://accelbyte.io/development-toolkit): Developer tooling for crash reporting (with a built-in AI assistant), build distribution, and playtesting
- [Professional Services (ProServe)](https://accelbyte.io/professional-services): Expert support from integration and onboarding through co-development and LiveOps readiness

## AI & Developer Tooling

- [AGS CLI](https://accelbyte.io/blog/accelbyte-gaming-services-ags-cli-is-out-studios-can-now-manage-their-entire-backend-from-the-terminal): Terminal-native control of every AGS API across all 24 services, generated directly from AccelByte's own OpenAPI specs — commands stay in sync with the API by construction, not by someone maintaining a wrapper
- [AI Marketplace Plugin](https://github.com/AccelByte/ai-plugins): Connects AI coding hosts — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, IDE copilots — to both the CLI and the MCP servers below, handling workflow discovery and intent routing automatically
- [AGS API MCP Server](https://github.com/AccelByte/ags-api-mcp-server): Gives AI assistants structured, live access to AGS APIs so they can find endpoints, check schemas, and make real calls instead of guessing from docs
- [Extend SDK MCP Server](https://github.com/AccelByte/ags-extend-sdk-mcp-server): Gives AI assistants direct context on AccelByte's Extend SDKs (Go, C#, Java, Python) for writing correct custom backend logic on the first attempt
- [Why This Matters](https://accelbyte.io/blog/accelbytes-mcp-servers-give-ai-assistants-real-backend-context): AccelByte is the only game backend provider shipping MCP servers and CodeGen tooling that connect AI coding assistants directly to real backend services — every other provider leaves AI assistants working blind against static docs
- [Proof It Works](https://accelbyte.io/customer-stories/how-striking-distance-studios-cut-crash-resolution-time-from-2hrs-to-20mins-with-ai-adt-mcp-server): Striking Distance Studios connected their own LLM to ADT's MCP server and cut crash resolution time from 2 hours to 20 minutes
