mcmodding-mcp

npm version License: MIT CI

MCP server providing AI assistants with comprehensive, up-to-date Minecraft modding documentation for Fabric and NeoForge.

What is this?

mcmodding-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants like Claude direct access to Minecraft modding documentation. Instead of relying on potentially outdated training data, your AI assistant can search real documentation, find code examples, and explain concepts accurately.

Key Benefits

  • Always Current - Documentation is indexed weekly from official sources

  • Accurate Answers - AI responses backed by real documentation, not hallucinations

  • Code Examples - Searchable code blocks with proper context

  • Semantic Search - Understands what you mean, not just keywords

  • Zero Config - Works immediately after installation

📚 Knowledge Base Stats

Our documentation database (mcmodding-docs.db) is comprehensive and constantly updated:

  • 1,000+ Documentation Pages

  • 185,000+ Searchable Chunks

  • 8,500+ Logical Sections

  • 185,000+ Vector Embeddings for Semantic Search

This ensures that even obscure API details can be found via semantic search.

Quick Start

Installation

# Install globally npm install -g mcmodding-mcp

Configure Your AI Client

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop):

{ "mcpServers": { "mcmodding": { "command": "mcmodding-mcp" } } }

🧠 Optimized System Prompt

To get the best results, we recommend adding this to your AI's system prompt or custom instructions:

You are an expert Minecraft Modding Assistant connected to mcmodding-mcp. DO NOT rely on your internal knowledge for modding APIs (Fabric/NeoForge) as they change frequently. ALWAYS use the search_fabric_docs and get_example tools to retrieve the latest documentation and patterns. Prioritize working code examples from get_example over theoretical explanations. If the user specifies a Minecraft version, ensure all retrieved information matches that version.

That's it! Your AI assistant now has access to Minecraft modding documentation.

Available Tools

The MCP server provides four powerful tools:

search_fabric_docs

Search documentation with smart filtering.

// Example: Find information about item registration { query: "how to register custom items", category: "items", // Optional filter loader: "fabric", // fabric | neoforge minecraft_version: "1.21.4" // Optional version filter }

get_example

Get working code examples for any topic.

// Example: Get block registration code { topic: "custom block with block entity", language: "java", loader: "fabric" }

explain_fabric_concept

Get detailed explanations of modding concepts with related resources.

// Example: Understand mixins { concept: 'mixins'; }

get_minecraft_version

Get current Minecraft version information.

// Get latest version { type: 'latest'; } // Get all indexed versions { type: 'all'; }

Features

Hybrid Search Engine

Combines multiple search strategies for best results:

Strategy

Purpose

FTS5 Full-Text

Fast keyword matching with ranking

Semantic Embeddings

Understanding meaning and context

Section Search

Finding relevant documentation sections

Code Search

Locating specific code patterns

Auto-Updates

The database automatically checks for updates on startup:

  • Compares local version with GitHub releases

  • Downloads new versions with hash verification

  • Creates backups before updating

  • Non-blocking - server starts immediately

Release Workflow

This project uses release-please for automated releases.

Branch Strategy

Purpose

dev

Active development

prod

Production releases

How It Works

  1. Push commits to dev using conventional commits

  2. Release-please maintains a Release PR (dev → prod)

  3. When merged, automatic release: npm publish + GitHub release + database upload

  4. Changes sync back to dev

See RELEASE_WORKFLOW.md for complete details.
