FAQ

🎮 RPG Maker MV Copilot MCP

Find why an MV event never fires — then verify the fix in the real engine

30-second silent workflow: a visual replay of verified MCP calls and a real MV 1.6.1 playtest. Inspect the evidence.

Quick start · First useful result · Map generation · Live bridge · Intelligence · Tools

A Model Context Protocol server that lets an AI agent inspect and edit a real RPG Maker MV project on disk through 18 consolidated tools. Find broken references and switch conditions, build events with MV-compatible commands, and run repeatable playtests. Generated data still needs validation in your game's tilesets and plugins.

It does three things that are usually missing:


🏗️ Builds	Generates maps that look hand-made, wires events from presets, and edits every database with real IDs instead of invented ones.
🧠 Understands	Reads the whole project and answers why the door never opens, which map nobody can reach, which skill breaks the game.
👀 Watches	Runs the game and reports back: exceptions, player position, screenshots — and reloads a map you just edited without losing the save.

⚡ Quick start

Install Node.js 20.19.0 or newer, and close the MV editor before asking the agent to edit project files. Start with a copy of your project.

For containers and directory hosting, see Docker and Glama build configuration.

Windows x64 MCPB bundle: download v5.21.0 for a compatible MCPB client. See bundle requirements and verification. The npm setup below works across supported operating systems.

Find the project on itch.io and Smithery.

Check the environment before adding the server (PowerShell on Windows):

npx.cmd -y rpgmaker-mv-mcp --doctor "C:/path/to/your/RPGMakerMV/project"

coreReady: true means Node and System data checks pass. headlessReady: true additionally means Playwright and Chromium are available. The check does not start a browser or certify assets/plugins. Bridge warnings do not block offline queries. Missing Chromium: run npx.cmd playwright install chromium-headless-shell, or set RPGMAKER_MCP_CHROMIUM to your Chrome executable.

1 — Add it to your MCP client. No clone needed; the package ships an executable.

# Claude Code, user scope
claude mcp add rpgmaker --scope user \

git clone https://github.com/DiegoLopez0208/RpgMakerMVUltimate-MCP
cd RpgMakerMVUltimate-MCP
npm install && npm run build
RPGMAKER_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/your/project npm start

MCP clients load tool definitions once at startup, so restart the client after adding or upgrading the server.

2 — Point it at a project. RPGMAKER_PROJECT_PATH is the folder containing data/, js/ and index.html. The server starts without it; call set_project_path at runtime instead if you prefer.

3 — Let the agent look around first.

get_project_context { detail: "full" }        → what exists, with real IDs
analyze_project     { view: "overview" }      → health, counts, unreachable maps

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, opencode, and any MCP-compatible client.

For Codex CLI, use codex mcp add rpgmaker --env RPGMAKER_PROJECT_PATH=C:/path/to/project -- npx -y rpgmaker-mv-mcp. In Windows clients that cannot launch npx, use the command cmd with arguments ["/c", "npx", "-y", "rpgmaker-mv-mcp"]. Restart the client, then try the three first-result recipes.

🗺️ Map generation

Two paths, both behind generate_map. Pick by whether your project uses RTP art.

	`mode: "procedural"` (default)	`mode: "semantic"`
How	Clones a hand-authored map from the 106 bundled RTP templates, closest size first	Lays out a mission graph, then paints it through a tileset profile
Looks like	Real multi-tile buildings, walls, furniture	Rooms and corridors shaped by what the space is for
Tilesets	RTP, or close to it	Any — DLC, itch.io, custom
Guarantees	Same `seed` → same map	Same `seed` → same map, and the key is always reachable before the door it opens

The knowledge-driven path

{ "mode": "procedural", "theme": "town", "name": "Riverbend", "width": 40, "height": 30 }

Themes with a matching template — town, village, dungeon, interior, castle, world and more — clone a real map instead of painting tile noise. Themes without one (beach, swamp, desert…) fall back to Perlin terrain, BSP dungeons and cellular caves. Combat themes auto-wire random encounters from your existing troops; town and village auto-create enterable house interiors with two-way warps.

Themes · forest town village castle dungeon cave beach desert swamp ruins interior snow harbor volcano sewer fortress magic_forest magic_interior space_interior space_exterior world

Other modes: blank (empty canvas), themed (simple layout), template (one specific bundled map), batch (many at once), duplicate (copy an existing map).

The tileset-independent path

The bundled templates are raw MV map JSON, so their tile IDs only mean anything on RTP sheets. Change the tileset and the map turns to noise. semantic keeps the layout abstract until the last moment:

manage_system { action: "mine_templates" }               # learn from THIS project
generate_map  { mode: "semantic", tilesetId: 5, rooms: 6, seed: 42 }

Mining reads every map you already made and derives semantic layouts (ground / wall / water / prop / door, multi-tile props kept whole), a tileset profile naming the concrete tile your project uses for each role, and token adjacency counts. Nothing in the project is modified — everything lands in .mcp-cache/.
Generating builds the mission first — entrance → key → locked door → treasure → boss → exit, plus side rooms — as a graph whose edges are the only ways through, then paints it. Because the lock is an edge and the key sits on the entrance side of it, the map is solvable by construction. Autotile shapes are recomputed at the end from the finished neighbourhood, never guessed cell by cell.
The result includes markers naming the cell of every mission role, which is where to put events with manage_map_event.
Pass a mined templateId (e.g. "mined-3") to re-materialise one of your own maps onto a different tileset.

🔌 The live bridge

playtest on its own is fire-and-forget: the game opens and nothing comes back. The bridge closes the loop.

manage_system { action: "install_bridge_plugin" }   # once per project
manage_system { action: "bridge_start" }            # opens ws://127.0.0.1:32123
manage_system { action: "playtest" }                # the game connects on its own
manage_system { action: "bridge_telemetry", types: ["exception", "log"] }

📡 Telemetry — exceptions with stack traces, console.error/warn, scene changes, player position, which event command is executing (so a hung event can be pinpointed), FPS and heap. Frames are consumed as you read them unless you pass peek.
♻️ Hot reload — reload_map re-reads the current MapXXX.json and rebuilds the scene without losing party state: it reserves a transfer to the player's own position with _needsMapReload, the engine's own reload seam, rather than rebuilding Spriteset_Map by hand. reload_database re-reads one data file; System.json and Tilesets.json need a fresh playtest and are refused with an explanation.
📸 Screenshots — take_screenshot { name: "collision-proof" } captures the live playtest through the MCP plugin, saves a timestamped PNG under .mcp-cache/screenshots/, and returns its path for inspection or QA evidence. No shell screenshot command is involved. manage_system { action: "bridge_screenshot" } remains as a compatibility alias.
🎥 Video evidence — record_video { action: "start", name: "npc-dialogue" } begins a silent WebM capture of the live game canvas; record_video { action: "stop" } saves it under .mcp-cache/recordings/ and returns its path. Agents can stage repeatable scenes with the allowlisted interact command and fixed-button press_button input—there is still no arbitrary script or eval command.

🔒 Security

The plugin returns before anything else runs unless the game is under NW.js and was launched with a test argument. A deployed build a player double-clicks never reaches the socket code, or even require('fs').

It checks every argument rather than only argv[0] the way Utils.isOptionValid does, because playtest passes the project path first. So a deployed build deliberately launched with a literal test argument would get past the guard — and then find no handshake file, and never connect.

The server binds 127.0.0.1 only, refuses any upgrade carrying a browser Origin (cross-site WebSocket hijacking), and requires the session token from .mcp-bridge.json — compared in constant time — within 5 seconds or the connection is dropped.

The command surface is a fixed allowlist with no eval primitive.

🔍 Project intelligence

analyze_project is read-only and fully offline. It models the whole project once, so an agent can reason about a game it did not build.

View	Answers
`overview`	Call this first. Counts, health summary, maps unreachable from the start
`validate`	Every consistency problem at once — see below
`explain`	Why does this never happen? e.g. "Switch 12 is gated in 3 places but never set ON"
`usage`	Every event, common event and troop that touches a switch/variable/item, with read-write roles
`graph`	The map transfer network and what is reachable
`ast`	One event's logic as a readable tree
`plugins`	What plugins the project uses, their parameters and commands
`critique`	A designer's opinion on one map: dead space, clutter, event spread, monotony
`metrics`	The same map measured — see below
`balance`	Database entries that are out of line with their peers — see below
`refactor`	Command sequences copy-pasted across events, worth extracting into a Common Event
`search`	Offline Unicode text matching across names, dialogue, descriptions and notes; no synonym or translation expansion
`index`	The structured digest the other views are built on

Broken transfers, missing map files, dangling common-event/item/troop references, duplicate IDs, named-but-unused switches and variables, a bad starting position, unreachable maps — and actor names written into dialogue as \N[id] that do not resolve.

That last one is worth its own sentence: the engine resolves \N[id] at draw time, not from any structural parameter, so a bad id passes every other check and the editor shows nothing wrong. The line just renders in-game with a hole where the name should be, and a player finds it before you do.

Reachability — flood fill from the real entry point. Walkable tiles the player can never get to, and events with no reachable tile beside them, are softlocks rather than style notes.
Dead space — the unreachable share of the rectangle, against a band for expected (interior / dungeon / exterior).
Shape — the walkable area thinned to a one-cell skeleton and read as a graph: endpoints, junctions, cycles, critical path, linearity. Linearity near 1 is a corridor with no choice to make.
Variety — Shannon entropy over 5×5 tile windows: the monotonous-floor problem, measured.
Tension — for maps with random encounters, how many steps the player is from a shop, inn or save point.

A skill dealing 400 damage is fine in a game where everything does, and broken in one where nothing else breaks 60. So each entry is scored on a power metric and compared against the others in its category: damage per MP for skills, gold per point of ATK+MAT for weapons, gold per DEF+MDF for armors, HP per EXP for enemies.

The comparison is leave-one-out — an entry is judged against statistics it had no hand in creating. Included in its own numbers, a badly broken entry drags the mean toward itself until it stops looking unusual at all.

Damage formulas are parsed, never executed (tokenise → shunting-yard → evaluate). One that cannot be read statically is listed under unreadableFormulas rather than scored as zero damage, which would pull every average down and hide the very outliers you were looking for.

Narrow with category, loosen or tighten with thresholdSd (default 2).

When a search returns nothing

Search returns searchMode: "lexical", complete, indexedFiles, skippedFiles and warnings. complete: false means some data could not be read; it does not mean the game contains no matching content. An empty result includes noResultsReason. Use a name or phrase actually present in the project: herrero does not translate into Blacksmith. Unicode names, including Japanese, are supported. A database query for an absent ID can return null; inspect it before using that ID.

Index, overview, validation, graph, usage, explain and refactor also report incomplete input. Unreadable files appear as validation errors.

Offline map inspection

query_map { view: "ascii", mapId } — render a map as a character grid with event markers. The cheapest way to see a layout and pick coordinates.
query_map { view: "validate", mapId } — lint one map for invalid tile IDs, broken transfers and missing event terminators.

Tools

The server exposes 18 consolidated tools. The legacy aliases are optional.

Tool	Purpose
`build_event_commands`	Read-only MV dialogue, choices, conditions, switches, variables, transfers, common-event, flow, and plugin-command builders
`insert_event_commands`	Validated insertion into map/common/troop event lists, with before/after previews and safe nested boundaries
`query_database`	List / get by ID / search any database (actors, classes, skills, items, weapons, armors, enemies, states, troops, tilesets, common events, animations)
`create_database_entry`	Create entries, with presets: `damage_skill`, `healing_skill`, `buff_skill`, `state_skill`, `boss_enemy`, `encounter_troop`
`update_database_entry`	Partial updates (incl. troops & animations); append commands to common events; add enemies to troops
`delete_database_entry`	Delete entries with reference-breakage warnings
`query_map`	Map tree, full map data, events, single event, lint, offline ASCII render
`generate_map`	Knowledge-driven, semantic, procedural, blank, themed, template, batch or duplicate
`edit_map`	Fill tile layers, set display names, organize the map tree, connect two maps, set encounters
`manage_map_event`	Create (presets: npc, chest, teleport, door, shop, inn, boss, puzzle_switch), update, convert an NPC into a merchant/inn/sign in place, delete, add commands, bulk-populate
`manage_system`	Title, switch/variable names, starting position, author a plugin, scaffold an editor-openable project, playtest, open/repair in editor, mine templates, and the live bridge
`take_screenshot`	Capture and name a live playtest PNG through the authenticated MCP bridge, or with `mapId` render a map headless as the engine draws it, no game running

The 101 fine-grained v4 tool names still work as call aliases. Set RPGMV_LEGACY_TOOLS=1 to advertise them too.

🛡️ Write safety

For composed event logic, use build_event_commands followed by insert_event_commands with dryRun:true. The preview includes the exact old and proposed command lists. See Event command authoring for the supported kinds, nesting rules, MV-specific differences, and verification.

Atomic. Every write goes to a temp file and is renamed over the target, so an interrupted call can never leave half-written JSON.
Backed up. Rotated timestamped copies under .mcp-backups/ (last N, RPGMV_BACKUP_KEEP, default 10). A backup failure aborts replacement. Writes use unique temporary files and exclusive per-file locks; changes detected since a data read are refused. Close the editor: it does not honor MCP locks, and multi-file operations are not transactions.
Previewable. Pass dryRun: true to any mutating tool to see exactly what it would write, without touching disk.

⚠️ Close the RPG Maker editor while an agent is working. The editor holds the project in memory and will overwrite changes when it saves.

⚙️ Configuration

Variable	Required	Description
`RPGMAKER_PROJECT_PATH`	recommended	The project folder (the one with `data/` and `js/`). Optional — `set_project_path` works at runtime
`RPGMAKER_MV_INSTALL`	for playtest	Engine install root, for `playtest` / `open_editor` / `scaffold_project`. Defaults to the standard Steam path
`RPGMV_BRIDGE_PORT`	optional	Loopback port for the live bridge (default `32123`)
`RPGMV_BACKUP_KEEP`	optional	Backups kept per file (default `10`)
`RPGMV_LEGACY_TOOLS`	optional	`1` also advertises the 101 legacy tool names
`RPGMAKER_MCP_CHROMIUM`	optional	Chromium executable for headless renders and `run_playtest`. Without it the newest browser in the Playwright cache is used (`npx playwright install chromium-headless-shell`). Headless tools also need the optional `playwright-core` dependency.
`RPGMV_TOOLSET`	optional	Advertise only some tool groups, e.g. `events,media`. `core` (project, database, maps, events, system, analysis) is always on; the others are `events` (build/insert event commands), `mapgen` (generate_map) and `media` (screenshot, video, image analysis, headless playtest). Unset or `all` lists everything. `core` alone is about 11k tokens instead of 18k.
`VISION_API_URL`	to enable vision	Base URL of an OpenAI-compatible vision endpoint. Unset = vision disabled
`VISION_API_KEY`	optional	Bearer token; only sent when set
`VISION_MODEL`	optional	Model name (default `meta/llama-3.2-90b-vision-instruct`)
`VISION_API_PATH`

analyze_image { mode: "ai" } sends a project image (tileset, sprite, screenshot, battler) to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you configure it; the grid and colors modes and every other tool work fully offline.

🚧 Known limitations & roadmap

Decoration semantics are best-effort in the RTP-template path; rare multi-tile objects may land as single tiles. The mined path keeps multi-tile props whole.
Town and dungeon layouts keep improving — planned: a central plaza or well as a landmark, houses in rows facing roads, fences and yards, richer road networks, more room variety.
mode: "semantic" currently generates dungeon-shaped missions. Town and open-world mission grammars are next, as is using the mined adjacency counts to decorate rather than only to describe.
balance compares like with like inside a category, so a boss will legitimately look like an outlier next to random encounters. Read the flag, not the verdict.
The bridge is Windows/nwjs playtest only and needs its plugin installed in the project.
Vision AI requires your own endpoint.
