Introducing the Open Source Studio MCP Server

Hi Creators!

We are constantly looking for ways to enlist technology to help you realize your ideas on the Roblox Platform.

Recent developments around the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open up new opportunities for you to leverage LLMs for assistance in certain aspects of creation. In order to help you take advantage of this technology, today we are introducing an open-source Studio MCP server. It allows LLMs, such as Claude, to modify your experiences directly within Roblox Studio based on your requests.

This server is a proof of concept. Today, we’re open sourcing it and accepting contributions.

  • If you’re a creator already leveraging AI tools, you can download it and start building directly.
  • If you are a plugin developer or open-source enthusiast, this is your invitation to dive into the code, contribute to the project and expand its capabilities.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it!

Getting Started

  1. Make sure you have Roblox Studio and Claude Desktop downloaded and working.

  2. Download the latest build and launch it. This installs a Studio plugin called “MCP” and sets up Claude to use the binary you just launched as an MCP Server.

    • Note: If you move the binary location, just make sure to launch it again.
  3. Restart Studio and Claude (make sure to fully exit Claude as it likes to hide in the system tray), and you should be ready to go.

  4. Open a place in Studio and have Claude Desktop running. Enter some prompts in Claude and watch the magic happen in Studio. Here are some of our favorites:

    • Make a zombie game
    • Insert a cat, and make it spin around really fast and wobble up and down
    • Make some trees from basic parts
    • Attach a UI image and ask LLM to generate UI code

Currently, the Studio MCP server provides two main capabilities: inserting models from the Creator Store and running Luau code. You can enable or disable specific capabilities within Claude Desktop in the Search and Tools popup menu.

Additionally, please note that clients consuming the MCP server are third-party solutions and their data handling is outside of Roblox’s control: data sent to Claude is subject to their privacy policies and terms of use. Once installed, the MCP server is active and can be accessed by programs on your local computer, allowing modification of opened places. To uninstall, delete the MCPStudioPlugin.rbxm from the Studio plugin directory when you’re done experimenting.

What’s Next

We’re thrilled to open source this MCP server as a reference implementation. If you want to expand its capabilities or experiment with your own ideas don’t hesitate to fork the repo, and submit some PRs. We look forward to seeing what you create and hearing your thoughts!

With this announcement, does it mean I can create games using AI now? If so, it’s incredible how far AI has come

Can we soon integrate it with cursor AI also?
Because that application can connect all known AIs, as far as I know right now.

Really appreciate the team adopting Rust here, it’s a superior choice than anything ever made in C#.

I think it’ll be great for those who struggle to understand how to code or anything else, but that’s just me.

Is this 3d synthesis system also able to generate high resolution textured assets or is it just capable of using primitives?

Looking forward to every game on the platform being AI-generated garbage! Now ROBLOX can suffer from the AI slop crisis that YouTube is sufferint from too!

I already fired my scripter and sound designer but now, I’ll be able to replace the modeler too.
The future is now

Now I don’t think it’ll take over people’s jobs as a scripter or modeler. I imagine AI as you know tools since that’s what AI is used for.

People have certain morals when it comes down to AI being used in fields where hard work is established, such as the world of art. I don’t agree with AI being considered a work of art (since it steals other people’s art styles), but I imagine AI would be powerful for scripting!

Ofc it wouldn’t be perfect, but hey I mean as someone who struggles to learn how to code, this is a very cool system to be added!

Blender is a free modeling software available to all Desktop users that is highly optimized and available to even low-end PCs to some extend of limitations.
Blender does not restrict AI generation but rather encourages self-improvement by creating a given asset yourself manually by improving your abilities to master given ascept of Blender modeling such as UV unwrapping, Armature Rigging, Vertex Painting, Weight Painting, etc.

Blender is FREE.


Unlike AI-generations, you can get the satisfaction of your hardwork being paid off with what you specifically want done and it lets you learn more than what AI can help beyond the extent of the Engine’s realms.
You’d never find out the fact that you can turn your silly ol’ LightPoint to RGB of -9999 to create a black void effect. :slight_smile:

So this is another attempt at making AI to accessible as if it wasn’t already easy with the AI assistant. When I was looking at the title of this post I thought it would be something about publishing script through a different website or managing a game through a website like studio, not this, I thought of everything but this.

AI models ima be honest took horrible and the code runs into errors and doesn’t work. I would much rather Roblox spend money on different things than updating a AI to make a slightly better looking copyrighted Mario. This doesn’t feel like a good update and hurts the people with real talent and passion. :mad:
