Ask Claude or ChatGPT when any Rust server wipes

Q: Can ChatGPT tell me when a Rust server wipes?

On its own, no: ChatGPT has no live server data and will guess from old forum posts. With the Wipe Board connector added, it reads each server's declared schedule from the game servers, refreshed every 10 minutes, and gives you the real next wipe time in your timezone.

Q: Is it free? Do I need an API key?

Free, no key, no account, no ads. Data is CC BY 4.0.

Q: How accurate are the wipe times?

Every answer says whether a time is owner-declared (the schedule the server owner entered on the game servers) or detected (inferred from past wipes). Owner-declared times are reliable; detected ones are a pattern and can change. Servers about to wipe are re-checked every minute.

Q: Can I use the data in my own app instead?

Yes. The same data is available as plain JSON at wipeboard.net/api/v1 and as an OpenAPI spec at wipeboard.net/openapi.json, which also works as a ChatGPT custom GPT Action.

Add one URL to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and you can ask in plain English: "which solo vanilla servers wipe tonight in Europe?", "when does Rustafied EU Main wipe next?", "what time is force wipe in EST?". The assistant reads the live schedule of 9,000+ servers from Wipe Board and answers in your timezone. Free, no key, no account, one minute to set up.

Set it up

Prefer a ping instead of asking? The Wipe Board Discord posts every wipe that matches your region, gather rate and team size, with a countdown and a mention an hour before. The MCP below is for when you want to ask questions about the data.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

Without live data, ChatGPT and Claude answer wipe questions from whatever they read during training: years-old Reddit threads and server Discord announcements. You get a confident answer and a wrong day. The Wipe Board MCP server gives the assistant the same data the board uses: each server's declared wipe schedule from the game servers, refreshed every 10 minutes, with servers about to wipe re-checked every minute. Every answer says whether a time is owner-declared or detected, so you know how much to trust it.

What it looks like

You: Which solo or duo vanilla servers in Europe wipe in the next 6 hours, with at least 50 players?

Claude: Three match. Atlas EU Solo/Duo wipes at 19:00 your time (owner-declared, 112/200 online now): wipeboard.net/server/… Warbandits EU 2X Solo/Duo/Trio is detected, not declared, so treat its 20:00 as a guess…

Under the hood the assistant called the upcoming_wipes tool with region=EU, type=vanilla, hours=6, min_players=50, read the result and wrote the answer. You never see the tool; you just ask.

Set it up

Copy the connector URL

https://wipeboard.net/mcp

That is the whole address. No key, no sign-up.

Add it to your assistant

Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Wipe Board, paste the URL, save. Enable it in the chat's tools menu if it is not on by default.

ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors (called Apps in some versions) → Add MCP server, paste the URL, no authentication. If your plan does not show connectors, create a custom GPT instead and import https://wipeboard.net/openapi.json as an Action; it works the same way.

Claude Code or Cursor: claude mcp add --transport http wipeboard https://wipeboard.net/mcp. In Cursor, add the same URL under MCP servers in settings.

Ask

Try one of these:

When does [your server] wipe next, in my timezone?
Which trio servers in North America wipe tomorrow evening?
Show me fresh wipes from the last 2 hours with 100+ players.
What time is force wipe in EST this month, and which servers wipe at force?
Compare how often 2x and vanilla servers wipe.

Every server in an answer comes with a link to its Wipe Board page, so you can check the live countdown or star it for Discord alerts.

What the assistant can look up

Tool	Answers questions like
`find_server`	"When does Rustafied EU Main wipe?" Schedule in plain English, next wipe and kind (map, blueprints, full), last wipe, players, team limit, rate.
`upcoming_wipes`	"Solo vanilla servers wiping tonight in Europe." Filter by team limit, vanilla or modded, rate, wipe cycle, region, country, minimum players, window.
`just_wiped`	"Where can I join a fresh wipe right now?" Servers that wiped in the last N hours, busiest first.
`force_wipe`	"When is the next force wipe?" Next date and every upcoming date, in UTC for the assistant to convert.
`wipe_stats`	"What share of Rust servers are vanilla?" Dated statistics on how 9,000+ servers wipe.

Tips for better answers

Say your timezone once ("I'm in Berlin"); the data is UTC and the assistant converts.
Ask for a minimum player count. Plenty of dead servers still have a detected schedule; "with 30+ players" filters them out.
If the answer says detected, the time is a pattern from past wipes, not the owner's word. Check the server's page or its Discord before planning around it.
For a specific server, give a distinctive part of its name; "atlas eu 2x" finds it, "atlas" returns a dozen.

Does this work with Claude?

Yes. Claude Desktop and claude.ai accept remote MCP servers under Settings, Connectors. Claude Code and Cursor accept it with one command. The same URL works everywhere.

Is it free? Do I need an API key?

Free, no key, no account, no ads. The data is CC BY 4.0.

What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. A remote MCP server is a URL you add once; the assistant decides when to call it to answer your questions.

Can I use the data in my own app instead?

Yes. The same data is plain JSON at wipeboard.net/api/v1 and an OpenAPI spec at wipeboard.net/openapi.json, which also works as a ChatGPT custom GPT Action.

Does it cover console Rust?

No. PC only; console Rust servers are not visible to Steam.
