Stellaris Companion turns a changing Stellaris campaign into context that humans can inspect and AI agents can reason over. This manual explains the system from the first save import to advisor briefings, Chronicle stories, and local MCP connections.
Start in three steps
- Install Stellaris Companion: download the desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
- Connect your first save: let the Companion discover a campaign or import a
.savfile. - Ask your first question: use the Advisor or connect an AI app once your campaign is ready.
Completing those three steps is enough to get a campaign-grounded answer. Everything else in the manual is optional depth.
