Which integrations are available for this server?

Enables programmatic manipulation of Roblox instances and objects, including bulk property editing, object creation, and management of attributes and tags. Provides deep integration with Roblox Studio to explore project hierarchies, search for files, and directly edit or refactor script source code.

How do I use Roblox Studio MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Roblox Studio MCP Server List the children of Workspace and find the script named 'GameManager'" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Roblox Studio MCP Server (Enhanced Fork)

Fork of — the original MCP server for Roblox Studio created by @boshyxd.
This fork (v2.0.0) adds significant improvements: long polling instead of 500ms interval polling, 16 new tools, Vector3 property fix, enhanced activity logger with copy/export, and a battle-tested plugin for complex Roblox projects.

MCP server for AI-powered Roblox Studio integration. 37+ specialized tools for exploring projects, editing scripts, manipulating attributes/tags, and performing bulk operations.

What's new in this fork

Feature	Original	This Fork
Polling	500ms interval polling	Long polling (instant response)
Tools	37 tools	37+ tools + 16 new ones
Vector3 properties	Broken on mass operations	Fixed (`{"X":n,"Y":n,"Z":n}` format)
Activity logger	None	Full UI logger with copy/export
Plugin UI	Basic status	Enhanced status + activity panel

Quick Start

For Claude Code users:

claude mcp add robloxstudio -- npx -y robloxstudio-mcp

For other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robloxstudio-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "robloxstudio-mcp"],
      "description": "Advanced Roblox Studio integration for AI assistants"
    }
  }
}

Install NPM Package

npm i robloxstudio-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robloxstudio-mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "robloxstudio-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Studio Plugin Setup (Required)

The MCP server requires a companion Roblox Studio plugin:

Download MCPPlugin.rbxmx
Save to your %LOCALAPPDATA%/Roblox/Plugins folder

After installation:

Enable "Allow HTTP Requests" in Game Settings > Security
Click the "MCP Server" button in the Plugins toolbar
Status should show "Connected" when working
