Tripwire MCP Server

An MCP server that gives an AI coding agent real control of Roblox Studio and Roblox Open Cloud, with a test-and-security layer no other Studio MCP has. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting gaming tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.

Claude Code

claude mcp add aliboily-tripwire -- npx -y tripwire-roblox

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aliboily-tripwire": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tripwire-roblox"

    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

What is Tripwire?

Is Tripwire still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-25 and it shipped 5 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Tripwire?

Run `npx -y tripwire-roblox`. The README documents 4 environment variables (ROBLOX_OPEN_CLOUD_KEY, ROBLOX_UNIVERSE_ID, ROBLOX_PLACE_ID…) to set first. Set ROBLOX_OPEN_CLOUD_KEY, ROBLOX_UNIVERSE_ID, ROBLOX_PLACE_ID, ROBLOX_CREATOR_USER_ID before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Tripwire run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
