Pulls and updates documentation from the official Roblox/creator-docs repository to keep content current
Uses OpenAI embeddings for semantic search capabilities across Roblox documentation
Optional caching solution for improved performance when searching Roblox documentation
Provides semantic search and retrieval of Roblox Creator Documentation, allowing access to API references, tutorials, guides, and code examples through natural language queries
🚀 Roblox Documentation MCP Server with RAG Support
MCP server with RAG support for intelligent Roblox documentation search and retrieval
This MCP server enables AI agents to intelligently search and retrieve Roblox documentation through semantic search and vector embeddings. It provides natural language access to the complete Roblox Creator Documentation.
🎯 What This Does
Enable AI agents to:
🔍 Semantic Search: Find relevant documentation through natural language queries
📚 API References: Get specific details about Roblox classes, methods, and properties
🎓 Tutorial Discovery: Locate step-by-step guides and learning materials
💡 Code Examples: Find relevant code snippets and demonstrations
🏷️ Smart Filtering: Search by content type, difficulty, or topic

🔧 Development
Architecture Overview
This project extends the cyanheads/mcp-ts-template with Roblox-specific capabilities:
Git Service: Manages the Roblox creator-docs repository
Content Processor: Parses markdown and YAML files
RAG Service: Handles embeddings and semantic search
MCP Tools: Provides search and retrieval capabilities
Adding New Features
New Tools: Follow the template pattern in
src/mcp-server/tools/Content Processing: Extend processors in
src/services/content-processor/RAG Enhancements: Modify search logic in
src/services/roblox-rag/
Development Commands
npm run build # Build TypeScript
npm run format # Format code with Prettier
npm run docs:generate # Generate TypeDoc documentation
npm run tree # Generate project structure
npm run depcheck # Check for unused dependencies
🧪 Testing
# Test individual components
npm run test:unit
