What is the Cs2 Rcon MCP MCP server?

Cs2 Rcon MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Cs2 Rcon MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. 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 through a standardized protocol.

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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the cs2 rcon mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

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.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Cs2 Rcon MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (rcon, status, list_workshop_maps, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Cs2 Rcon MCP directly.
