Rpg Encoder MCP Server
Give your AI agent a brain for your codebase. AI coding agents waste most of their tool calls fumbling through your codebase with grep, cat, find, and file reads. rpg-encoder fixes that. It builds a semantic graph of your code with Tree-sitter - not just what calls what, but what every function does - and gives your AI assistant whole-repo understanding via MCP in a single tool call.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.

01 · Install Rpg Encoder
Claude Code
claude mcp add userfrm-rpg-encoder -- npx -y rpg-encoder Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"userfrm-rpg-encoder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"rpg-encoder"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 rpg-encoder - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.userFRM is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Rpg Encoder FAQ
What is Rpg Encoder?
Give your AI agent a brain for your codebase. AI coding agents waste most of their tool calls fumbling through your codebase with grep, cat, find, and file reads. rpg-encoder fixes that. It builds a semantic graph of your code with Tree-sitter - not just what calls what, but what every function does - and gives your AI assistant whole-repo understanding via MCP in a single tool call.
Is Rpg Encoder still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-05-29. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Rpg Encoder?
Run `npx -y rpg-encoder`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Rpg Encoder 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.
