What is the Cs2 Rcon MCP Server?

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface for managing CS2 game servers via RCON. It allows remote control and monitoring of CS2 servers

What you get

  • Manage your CS2 server in natural language
  • RCON command execution
  • Manage workshop maps (host, list, change) - Explore Workshop Maps
  • SSE-based communication
  • Docker support

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at ghcr.io/v9rt3x/cs2-rcon-mcp on a container image and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What the assistant can call

Once Cs2 Rcon MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • rcon — Execute any RCON command
  • status — Get current server status
  • list_workshop_maps — List all workshop maps on the server
  • host_workshop_map — Host a workshop map by its ID
  • workshop_changelevel — Change the map to a given workshop map

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.

Choosing this one

Among the monitoring and observability options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Cs2 Rcon MCP's toolset — rcon, status, list_workshop_maps and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by v9rt3x; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Recorded tools

  • list_workshop_maps — List all workshop maps on the server
  • host_workshop_map — Host a workshop map by its ID
  • workshop_changelevel — Change the map to a given workshop map
