HOI4 Agent Tools MCP Server

HOI4 Agent Tools is an MCP server for coding agents to understand Hearts of Iron IV event chains, technology systems, AI weights, and MTTH timing and to inspect, create, or clean up focus trees, scripted GUIs, and maps. Start it in a mod folder and it works there immediately, with offline renders for review. Its 23 documented tools cover hoi4, probability, inspect, render.

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install HOI4 Agent Tools

Claude Code

claude mcp add klimpaskov-hoi4-agent-tools -- npx -y hoi4-agent-tools

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "klimpaskov-hoi4-agent-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "hoi4-agent-tools"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-10 - young repo, little track record yet

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package hoi4-agent-tools - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.klimPaskov is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What HOI4 Agent Tools can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can read focus trees, continuous-focus placement, and structural or reference problems, create or update a focus tree, read a scripted GUI and its linked assets and logic, and create or update a GUI source package.

The 23 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what HOI4 Agent Tools lets an agent do.

hoi4.focus_inspect: - Read focus trees, continuous-focus placement, and structural or reference problems.
hoi4.focus_render: - Produce fast HTML, SVG, JSON, and source-linked layout artifacts.
hoi4.focus_raster: - Produce a high-fidelity PNG review with decoded source icons.
hoi4.focus_rewrite: - Create or update a focus tree.
hoi4.gui_inspect: - Read a scripted GUI and its linked assets and logic.
hoi4.gui_render: - Render GUI scenario variants, states, resolutions, hierarchy, and layout diagnostics.
hoi4.gui_rewrite: - Create or update a GUI source package.
hoi4.map_inspect: - Search, click, navigate, and inspect the complete rendered map and its linked data.
hoi4.map_render: - Render full-map layers, overlays, names, IDs, coordinates, and source-linked catalogs.
hoi4.map_rewrite: - Create or update states, provinces, IDs, networks, positions, and connected map data.
hoi4.event_inspect: - Scan, trace, explain, lint, or assess event chains and their state flow.
hoi4.event_render: - Render source-linked event routes, options, timing, state, scope, and unresolved edges.
