RPG Maker MV Ultimate MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for RPG Maker MV project management. Provides 102 tools for actors, classes, skills, items, weapons, armors, enemies, states, troops, common events, maps, events, tilesets, animations, system settings, project management, AI vision analysis, offline ASCII map rendering, and knowledge-driven map generation.

Features

• 102 MCP tools covering every aspect of RPG Maker MV project data

• TypeScript ESM — fully typed codebase with strict compilation.

• Vision AI analysis — analyze_screenshot sends project images to any OpenAI-compatible vision API (OpenAI, Ollama, LocalAI, NVIDIA, etc.) for AI descriptions

• Offline ASCII map rendering — render_map_ascii generates ASCII maps with event markers and region IDs, no API needed

• Knowledge-driven map generation with 21 themes, procedural generation (Perlin noise, BSP, cellular automata), and 106 template maps

• Template-based map generation — generates maps from ProjectR reference templates

• Asset scanning — indexes your project's img/ folder and Tilesets.json to build categorized tile inventories

• 7 static knowledge files — tile IDs, passage flags, event commands, enums, trait/effect codes, database schemas, image paths

• High-level event builders — NPC with dialogue, chest, teleport, shop, inn, boss battle, puzzle switch, transfer

• Map validation — detects invalid tile IDs, broken event commands, null references

• 21 procedural themes — forest, town, village, castle, dungeon, cave, beach, desert, swamp, ruins, interior, snow, harbor, volcano, sewer, fortress, magic_forest, magic_interior, space_interior, space_exterior, world

Quick Start

npm install
npm run build
RPGMAKER_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/your/project npm start

With Claude Desktop / opencode / any MCP client

Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rpgmaker-mv": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/RpgMakerMVUltimate-MCP/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "RPGMAKER_PROJECT_PATH": "/path/to/your/project"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tool Categories

Vision AI

The analyze_screenshot tool sends project images to an OpenAI-compatible vision API for AI-powered analysis. Works with any endpoint that supports the /v1/chat/completions API format.

Supported backends: OpenAI, Ollama, LocalAI, NVIDIA NIM, vLLM, LiteLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible proxy.

Configuration

Set these environment variables to enable vision analysis:

Usage

{
  "tool": "analyze_screenshot",
  "arguments": {
    "image_path": "img/tilesets/Outside.png",
    "prompt": "Describe the tile categories and colors",
    "resize_max": 1024
  }
}

Works with: tilesets, character sprites, map screenshots, battlers, faces, etc.

OpenAI Example

VISION_API_URL=https://api.openai.com \
VISION_API_KEY=sk-... \
VISION_MODEL=gpt-4o \
npm start

Ollama Example

VISION_API_URL=http://localhost:11434 \
VISION_MODEL=llava \
npm start

Without Vision AI

Set no VISION_API_URL or leave it unset. All other 100 tools work offline. render_map_ascii provides visual map inspection without any API.

render_map_ascii

Generates an ASCII representation of a map. No API required — works offline.

{
  "tool": "render_map_ascii",
  "arguments": {
    "map_id": 1,
    "layer": 0,
    "show_events": true,
    "show_regions": false
  }
}

Output uses tileset flag-based characters: . empty, ~ water, # wall, H ladder, " bush, , terrain, T tree, D decoration, A autotile. Event positions shown as first-letter markers.

Map Generation

The unified map generator produces coherent, beautiful maps using your project's actual tilesets:

{
  "tool": "create_map",
  "arguments": {
    "name": "Dark Forest",
    "width": 30,
    "height": 25,
    "tilesetId": 2,
    "theme": "forest",
    "displayName": "The Dark Forest"
  }
}

Themes

forest town village castle dungeon cave beach desert swamp ruins interior snow harbor volcano sewer fortress magic_forest magic_interior space_interior space_exterior world

Template-Based Generation

Generate maps from 106 Rpg maker MV reference templates:

{
  "tool": "create_map",
  "arguments": {
    "templateId": 1,
    "displayName": "Custom Forest"
  }
}

How It Works

1. create_map calls get_tile_ids_for_tileset to read the tileset's actual tiles

2. Categories tiles into: ground, water, wallSide, wallTop, roof, decoration

3. Generates a 6-layer map: z=0,1 (ground), z=2,3 (upper), z=4 (shadow bits), z=5 (region ID)

4. Falls back to hardcoded RTP IDs if tileset scan fails (backward compatible)

5. Procedural generators use Perlin noise, BSP tree partitioning, and cellular automata

Asset Scanning

{ "tool": "scan_project_assets" }

Returns tileset sheet metadata (dimensions, tile counts, autotile kinds), categorized available tiles, and all PNG files in img/ subdirectories.
