i am increasingly going schizo, where every single thing I post/see posted gets copied and karma farmed on social media. further, any novelty I share with an llm gets eaten/absorbed by the harness as a feature.
Cool, but yes you can render whatever you want as long as you register an MCP resource and use it as part of a tool call. It is just html in an iframe.
Great work. I wonder what the future "can it run doom ?" Will it be: Can it run AGI on a new quantum processor/ robot / bio-engineered cell. Or will it be Doom all the way down...
Snake and DOOM were two of our early tests (for filter functions and MCP) when we stood up Open WebUI for internal chat/agent use. Sometimes games are the best way to limit-test new tech.
The title is misleading. This is in ChatGPT but not on ChatGPT. It's not running on AI. It's running on a site that serves an AI chatbot.
Still very cool though.
I suppose most people don't know this, but you can render web resources into chat harnesses via MCP apps [1]. The actual DOOM part of this runs on [2].
It took me a reread and some thinking to realize what was going on. The 'MCP app' he's referring to here is basically a browser front-end replacement like electron. So what he's doing here is running DOOM as apart of that browser run-time and passing it through to the front-end. It's less "playing DOOM through the AI" and more "Playing DOOM while the AI can watch".
somebody did this a month ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdbXNWkpPMY

That’s awesome. Yes!

Ok, we've switched the title above to a hopefully-clearer phrase from the article's first sentence.
Works for me! Thanks for updating.
Title changed from “DOOM runs in ChatGPT and Claude” to “A playable DOOM MCP app”.
I was not too surprised to see DOOM running on a pregnancy test before but seeing it on an MCP was really unexpected ;)
It's still fun but it feels gross. Like here is this monstrosity of compute running the thing we are running in toothbrushes.
I read this and I did not understand it. An MCP is synthesizing DOOM frames from a training set? What is this doing

its basically an iframe embedding doom on a remote webpage
Best capability test there is
simply great!
Appreciate it. I had fun building.
Love it! MCP apps is still new and under-utilised and we need to understand it's boundaries and compatibility.
For sure.
