FiveM MCP
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents - Claude, Qwen, or anything that speaks MCP - build, run and live-test FiveM servers from the same machine. Its 14 documented tools cover server, command, client, console. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with server, command and client 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
repo age created 2026-09-02 - young repo, little track record yet
license MIT - declared in the repository
npm package fivem-mcp-server - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.ziyacivan is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

2 tools - e.g. Recent lines: client = live devcon stream (with afterSeq paging), server = tail of FIVEM_SERVER_LOG. Filter by channel/contains/pattern.; Every command the client console knows (devcon handshake).
read_console · list_commands
Wait
2 tools - e.g. Block until a line matching a regex appears - your assertion primitive.; Pause between actions (loading screens, walk cycles).
