The Roblox MCP server for Claude, Cursor and any MCP app

RoIDE gives AI apps real tools for your Roblox game. They explore your scripts, write and edit code, and read Studio's Output, while every change syncs to Roblox Studio.

What your AI can do

RoIDE's MCP server speaks Roblox, not just files. Through it, your AI app can:

  • See your game's tree and find where things live
  • Read and search every script, including with regex
  • Write new scripts and edit existing ones
  • Move, rename and delete scripts and folders
  • Set script properties, attributes and tags
  • Read Roblox Studio's Output to find errors and prints

Set up in one click

The RoIDE app adds its MCP server to Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor for you. Any other app that supports the Model Context Protocol connects the same way.

It knows Roblox's rules

The server knows how Scripts, LocalScripts and ModuleScripts are named, which services sync, and how folders map to your game, and it gives the AI a guide to follow, so the code it writes is code Studio accepts.

Safe by design

Only scripts and their folders sync: the AI can't touch your map, models, terrain or UI. RoIDE runs on your computer, and every change is a file you can review or undo with git.

How it works

  1. Install RoIDE: The app runs quietly in your system tray.
  2. Connect your AI app: One click for Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor.
  3. Open your place and ask: Your AI works on your real game while Studio stays in sync.

Questions, answered

What is a Roblox MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how AI apps like Claude and Cursor use outside tools. A Roblox MCP server gives them tools for your Roblox game: RoIDE lets them list, read, search, write and move your scripts and read Studio's Output.

Which AI apps work with the RoIDE MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are set up in one click from the RoIDE app. Any other app that supports MCP can connect the same way.

Does Roblox Studio need to be open?

For changes to show up live, yes: open your place and the RoIDE plugin connects on its own. Without Studio, your AI still works on the script files, and the plugin's push and pull bring Studio up to date when you open the place.

Can the AI break my map or models?

RoIDE only syncs scripts and the folders that hold them. Parts, models, terrain and UI are never touched, and every script is a file you can review or roll back with git.

Is my code uploaded anywhere?

RoIDE keeps your scripts on your computer and talks to Studio and your AI apps locally. The AI app you connect sends what it reads to its own provider under its own terms.
