How to Set Up and Use MCPMC (Minecraft MCP)
MCPMC (Minecraft Model Context Protocol) is an MCP server built on the Mineflayer bot framework that enables AI agents to control Minecraft bots through a standardized JSON-RPC interface. It exposes tools for navigating to coordinates, digging and placing blocks, managing inventory, following players, attacking entities, inspecting blocks, and finding blocks by type. Game automation enthusiasts and AI researchers use it to build AI-driven Minecraft agents that can explore, build, and interact with the game world through natural language instructions.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher (or Bun for development)
- A running Minecraft Java Edition server (or single-player world with LAN sharing enabled)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- npm or yarn for installation
Install the mcpmc package
Install the package globally via npm to make the mcpmc binary available on your PATH.
npm install -g @gerred/mcpmc
# Or with yarn:
yarn global add @gerred/mcpmcStart a Minecraft server
The bot needs a Minecraft Java Edition server to connect to. Start your server or enable LAN sharing in single-player mode. Note the server host and port (default 25565).
Configure Claude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) to add the mcpmc server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"minecraft": {
"command": "mcpmc",
"args": []
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop to load the new server. The mcpmc binary starts when Claude first calls a tool.
Connect a bot to your Minecraft server
Use Claude to connect a bot by calling the connect tool with your server details. The bot will join the game and appear as a player.
MCPMC (Minecraft MCP) Examples
Client configuration (Claude Desktop)
Standard Claude Desktop configuration for the MCPMC server. No API keys required — the bot connects directly to the Minecraft server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"minecraft": {
"command": "mcpmc",
"args": []
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts to control a Minecraft bot through Claude after connecting to a server.
- "Connect a bot named ClaudeBot to my Minecraft server at localhost:25565."
- "Navigate the bot to coordinates x=100, y=64, z=200."
- "Find all diamond ore blocks within 32 blocks of the bot's current position."
- "Dig the block at position x=50, y=60, z=50."
- "Follow player Steve at a distance of 3 blocks."
- "Send a chat message: 'Hello from Claude!'."
- "Inspect the block at x=0, y=63, z=0 and tell me what type it is."Troubleshooting MCPMC (Minecraft MCP)
The bot connects but immediately disconnects from the server
Ensure the Minecraft server is in offline mode (online-mode=false in server.properties) if you are using a username that is not a valid Mojang account. For authenticated servers, the bot username must match a valid account.
mcpmc command not found after npm global install
Check that npm's global bin directory is on your PATH. Run 'npm config get prefix' to find the prefix, then add the bin subdirectory to your PATH. On macOS this is typically /usr/local/bin or ~/.npm-global/bin.
Navigation fails or the bot gets stuck
The pathfinding uses Mineflayer's pathfinder plugin, which requires walkable terrain. Ensure the destination coordinates are accessible and not inside solid blocks. For long-distance navigation, break it into shorter segments using navigate_relative instead of absolute coordinates.
