Ags MCP Server

MCP Server for AGS .crm file manipulation

Local serverstdioPython

What is the Ags MCP server?

Ags becomes available to MCP clients through the ags mcp server. MCP Server for AGS .crm file manipulation.

What Ags does

AI tools excel at reading and writing AGS script files (text), but cannot directly access compiled room (.crm) files. This creates a gap where developers must manually connect AI-generated scripts to room elements through the AGS editor.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:

  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
  • Architecture — The Architecture tool exposed by this server

Installing the ags mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as ags-mcp-server, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+ - npm 7+

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Ags sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prerequisites, Architecture — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by wilson-lilburne, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the ags mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Ags to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (Prerequisites, Architecture) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Ags directly.
