Usage Patterns
Game Master: Building an Encounter
// Find CR 3 monsters from the SRD
const monsters = await list({
resource_type: "monsters",
cr: 3,
document_slug: "wotc-srd"
});
// Get full details for selected monsters
const details = await batch_get({
requests: monsters.results.slice(0, 5).map(m => ({
resource_type: "monsters",
slug: m.slug
}))
});Contributor: Adding a New Spell
// 1. Draft the spell
const draft = {
name: "Arcane Bolt",
slug: "arcane-bolt",
level: 0,
school: "Evocation",
casting_time: "1 action",
range: "120 feet",
verbal: true,
somatic: true,
material: false,
concentration: false,
ritual: false,
duration: "Instantaneous",
desc: "You hurl a bolt of arcane energy at a creature...",
document__slug: "homebrew"
};
// 2. Validate
const validation = await validate_entry({
resource_type: "spells",
data: draft
});
// 3. Check for collisions
const slugCheck = await check_slug({
resource_type: "spells",
slug: "arcane-bolt"
});
// 4. Generate PR JSON
const prData = await generate_pr_json({
resource_type: "spells",
document_slug: "homebrew",
operation: "add",
data: draft
});Learning: Understanding the Codebase
// Search for how monsters are modeled
const results = await rag_search({
query: "Monster model fields actions abilities",
top_k: 5
});
// Ask the chatbot
const answer = await rag_chat({
message: "What fields are required for a monster entry in v1?"
});Integration

This server is designed to integrate with rpg-mcp for live creature lookups during gameplay:
// Replace hardcoded creature presets with Open5e lookups
const creature = await open5e.get({
resource_type: "monsters",
slug: "adult-red-dragon"
