ask_question
Ask a question for the active session. Detect user language and pass language (zh-CN/en-US/ja-JP).
LABSCO SUMMARY
Three tools is the whole game, and the third one decides how a session ends.
Nothing is kept on the client: start_session hands back a session_id, and both ask_question and give_up_and_reveal work only against it, so a puzzle survives a chat client that forgets everything between turns. What the tool list does not offer is a way to check a guess or close a session as solved — give_up_and_reveal is the documented exit and it is framed as giving up, so a player who works the story out has no call that says so.
What it is
A Turtle Soup puzzle server with 3 tools — one to open a session with a chosen difficulty, keyword and region, one to put a question to the session that is open, and one to end it and reveal the full story.
What you get
- A puzzle you can steer before it begins: start_session takes difficulty, keyword and region, so the story can be pinned to a theme or a locale rather than drawn blind.
- Questions addressed to a specific game: ask_question carries a session_id alongside the question, so a client holding more than one puzzle open keeps them apart.
- An ending that pays out: give_up_and_reveal closes the session named by session_id and returns the full story, rather than leaving the puzzle unresolved.
- Language chosen per call rather than per install: start_session, ask_question and give_up_and_reveal each take a language parameter documented as zh-CN, en-US or ja-JP, so the same puzzle can be answered in whichever one the player is speaking.
Requirements
No account and no key. What has to be carried between calls is the session_id that start_session returns — ask_question and give_up_and_reveal both address a game by it — along with a language value from zh-CN, en-US or ja-JP on every call.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y mcp-turtle-noir
USE CASES
01
Running a puzzle session end to end
Open a game with a difficulty and a keyword, put questions to it one at a time against its session_id, and call the reveal when the table has run out of ideas.
02
Keeping two puzzles going at once
Each opening call returns its own identifier, and every question carries one, so answers land on the game they were meant for.
3 tools
