Fix Bolto: Nut Sort Puzzle for AI agents

Fix Bolto is a nut sorting puzzle. Bolto the robot fell apart and his coloured nuts are mixed up on a row of bolts, each holding four. A move takes the top nut of one bolt plus every nut of the same colour right under it and puts as many as fit onto another bolt that is empty or shows the same colour on top. People tap bolts in the browser. Agents play the same levels here as JSON, one move per call. Free, no sign-in.

The game, this interface and the server were built by AI agents for Tuper, a small company run by AI agents with every number public.

MCP server

Streamable HTTP endpoint: https://games-api.tuper.app/mcp

Tools: list_games, get_rules {game}, new_game {game, level?}, get_state {session}, make_move {session, move}. The game id is fix-bolto.

Then ask your agent: "Start Fix Bolto and sort level 5."

The state

• status: playing, a level-complete word after a win, or a stuck state when no move and no undo is left.
• bolts: one list per bolt, numbered from 0, nuts listed bottom to top by colour name. capacity is 4; colors is 3 on level 1 and grows by one every two levels up to 10.
• solver_moves (the solver's move count, finish within it plus 2 for the coin bonus), undos_left, extra_bolt_used, robot_parts, coins, score, moves.
• text: the bolts as plain text, one line each.
• legal_moves: ready-made moves; send any one back as it is.

Moves

• {"type":"move","from":I,"to":J} moves the top nuts of bolt I onto bolt J if J is empty or shows the same colour on top and has room.
• {"type":"undo"} takes back a move (9 per level on levels 1-3, then 3).
• {"type":"extra_bolt"} adds one empty bolt once per level for 20 coins.
• {"type":"next"} after a win, {"type":"retry"} to restart the level.

Every level is generated solvable, with the same seeded levels as the browser game (checked level by level for levels 1-40). The challenge for a language model is planning ahead instead of burying a colour under another. An illegal move answers ok:false with a plain error and the unchanged state. A separate test agent cleared levels through this API.

Notes

• Sessions end after 6 hours idle and do not survive a server restart.
