How to Set Up and Use Roblox Studio MCP
The Roblox Studio MCP Server enables AI assistants to interact directly and in real time with a live Roblox Studio session through over 43 specialized tools, covering game hierarchy exploration, Lua script reading and editing, bulk object manipulation, NPC creation, debug log access, and screenshot capture. It uses long polling for near-instant response times and communicates via a local HTTP bridge between the MCP server process and a Studio plugin installed inside Roblox. Game developers use it to let Claude or other AI agents assist with scripting, refactoring deprecated APIs, building level geometry, and automating repetitive Studio tasks without switching between tools.
Prerequisites
- Roblox Studio installed on macOS or Windows
- The robloxstudio-mcp Studio plugin installed from the releases folder of the repository
- Node.js 18+ installed (for npx usage)
- 'Allow HTTP Requests' enabled in Roblox Studio under Game Settings > Security
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex CLI
Install the Roblox Studio plugin
Download the plugin file from the GitHub releases page and install it into Roblox Studio. Open Studio, navigate to Plugins > Plugin Manager or drag the .rbxm file into Studio to install.
Enable HTTP requests in Studio
The plugin communicates with the MCP server over localhost HTTP. Enable this in your place's settings.
Add the MCP server to Claude Code
Register the package with Claude Code using the built-in mcp add command.
claude mcp add robloxstudio -- npx -y robloxstudio-mcp@latestConfigure Claude Desktop (alternative)
For Claude Desktop, add the server block to your configuration file. Windows users must use 'cmd' as the command.
Open your place in Roblox Studio
Launch Roblox Studio and open the game you want to work with. The plugin will show 'Connected' in the plugin toolbar once the MCP server is running and has established the bridge.
Verify connectivity
Ask Claude to describe the game structure. The server will call the exploration tools and return the object hierarchy from your live Studio session.

Example prompts for Roblox game development assistance via the MCP server.
- "What's the full hierarchy of objects in my current Roblox place?"
- "Find all scripts that use deprecated Roblox APIs and list which APIs need updating"
- "Create 50 test NPCs arranged in a 5x10 grid at position (0, 5, 0)"
- "Read the PlayerController script and optimize the movement code for smoother character control"
- "Take a screenshot of the current Studio viewport and describe what you see"Troubleshooting Roblox Studio MCP
The Studio plugin shows 'Disconnected' and Claude cannot reach Studio
The plugin polls a local HTTP server started by the MCP server process. Ensure the npx robloxstudio-mcp@latest process is actually running (check Claude Desktop logs). Also confirm 'Allow HTTP Requests' is enabled for the specific place, not just globally — the setting is per-place in Game Settings > Security.
Script edits made by Claude do not appear in Studio
Roblox Studio may need a brief moment to reflect changes from the HTTP bridge. If changes still do not appear, check the Studio Output window for script errors that may have prevented saving. Ensure the plugin has write permissions and is not in read-only inspector mode.
npx robloxstudio-mcp@latest fails with 'package not found' or version errors
The original repository was archived in June 2026. Use the actively maintained fork at https://github.com/Chrrxs/robloxstudio-mcp or install from that repository's published package name. Check the fork's README for the current npm package name and install command.
