How to Set Up and Use WzImg
WzImg MCP Server is a C#/.NET MCP server that enables AI assistants such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini to interact programmatically with MapleStory .IMG files extracted from .wz archives. It provides 74 tools across 10 categories for reading, analyzing, modifying, and exporting game data including sprites, sounds, strings, and node structures. Game modders, data miners, and tooling developers working with MapleStory assets can use it to query and transform game content through natural language.
Prerequisites
- .NET SDK 8.0 or higher installed
- HaCreator (Harepacker-resurrected) to extract .wz files into .img format — the extracted directory must contain a manifest.json file
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- The WzImg-MCP-Server repository cloned locally
Extract .wz files to .img format
Use HaCreator (Harepacker-resurrected) to extract your MapleStory .wz files into .img files. The extraction output directory must contain a manifest.json file, which the server requires to locate assets.
Clone and build the server
Clone the WzImg-MCP-Server repository and build the .NET project using the dotnet CLI.
git clone https://github.com/lastbattle/WzImg-MCP-Server.git
cd WzImg-MCP-Server
dotnet build WzImgMCP.csprojSet the data path environment variable
Set WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH to the directory containing your extracted .img files and manifest.json. This tells the server where to load game data from.
# Linux/macOS
export WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH=/path/to/extracted/v83
# Windows PowerShell
$env:WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH="D:\Extract\v83"Configure Claude Desktop for stdio mode
Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json using dotnet run as the command, with the project path and data path environment variable.
{
"mcpServers": {
"wzimg": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": ["run", "--project", "/path/to/WzImg-MCP-Server/WzImgMCP.csproj"],
"env": {
"WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH": "/path/to/extracted/v83"
}
}
}
}Alternatively run in HTTP mode for multiple clients
Start the server in HTTP mode with Streamable HTTP transport so multiple clients can connect simultaneously. The default port is 13339.
WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH=/path/to/v83 dotnet run --project WzImgMCP -- --http --port 8080WzImg Examples

}Prompts to try
Example prompts for exploring and modifying MapleStory .IMG file data through the AI assistant.
- "List all categories of IMG files available in the current data set"
- "Show me the node structure of the Character/00002000.img file"
- "Extract all string values from the String/Mob.img file"
- "Find all bitmap images in the UI directory"
- "Export the sound data from Sound/Bgm00.img to JSON format"Troubleshooting WzImg
Server fails to start with 'manifest.json not found' error
Ensure WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH points to the directory produced by HaCreator that contains manifest.json. The file must be at the root of the data path, not in a subdirectory.
dotnet build fails due to missing SDK or project file
Install .NET SDK 8.0 or higher from dotnet.microsoft.com. Verify with 'dotnet --version'. Use the full absolute path to WzImgMCP.csproj in the build command.
Claude Desktop cannot connect when using HTTP mode
When using HTTP transport, configure the MCP client with the HTTP URL (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:13339/mcp) instead of a command/args block. Set WZIMGMCP_DATA_PATH before starting the server process, not in the client config.
