roblox-devforum-mcp

An MCP server that gives an AI coding agent the Roblox Developer Forum and the official creator docs.

When your agent hits a Roblox bug, it can check whether Roblox already has it triaged, read the accepted answer, and confirm the API before writing Luau.

No API key, no login, no setup.

Install

claude mcp add roblox-devforum -- npx -y roblox-devforum-mcp

DeepSeek Harness:

dsh plugin --profile web add roblox-devforum-mcp

Any other MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "roblox-devforum": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "roblox-devforum-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Every tool is read-only, returns Markdown with source URLs, and stays inside a token budget.

[answered] beside a result means a reply was marked as the solution — by whoever opened the thread, not by Roblox. Roblox does not publish a triage state, so read the thread to see whether staff replied.

Example

"My DataStore:SetAsync keeps failing with 502: API Services rejected request. Is this on Roblox's end?"

The agent runs search_bugs on the error text, get_thread on the best hit, then check_api_health before touching your code.

Configuration

All optional.

A bad value is ignored, with a note on stderr, and the default is used.

Data sources

devforum.roblox.com (public Discourse API), Roblox/creator-docs, and the Roblox-Client-Tracker API dump.
