Rpgmaker Mz MCP

119 tools that let an AI assistant read and write an RPG Maker MZ project directly - actors, classes, skills, items, equipment, states, enemies, troops, common events, maps, tiles, tilesets, events, and system settings - instead of hand-editing everything in the editor. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with game development and rpg maker and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

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

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package rpgmaker-mz-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

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

03 · What Rpgmaker Mz MCP can do

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

Limitations (from the README)

- Writes JSON files directly; the editor must be closed to avoid conflicts. - Plugin commands are validated against the plugins your project actually ships (scan_plugins parses their @command/@arg annotations), falling back to a small built-in allowlist. Since RPG Maker MZ has no "required argument" annotation, scanned args are checked for unknown names only, never for missing ones; a plugin with no annotation block
