Rpgmaker Xp MCP

Build RPG Maker XP games by describing what you want. This is an MCP server that reads and writes an RPG Maker XP project's .rxdata files directly - actors, skills, items, maps, events, scripts and system data - and renders map previews to PNG so you can see what was built without opening the editor. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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