Riza MCP Server

Arbitrary code execution and tool-use platform for LLMs by Riza

Local serverstdio

What is the Riza MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Riza, the riza mcp server is the bridge. Arbitrary code execution and tool-use platform for LLMs by Riza.

What Riza does

Riza offers an isolated code interpreter for your LLM-generated code.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 6 tools directly:

  • create_tool — Your LLM can write code and save it as a tool using the Riza Tools API. It can then execute these tools
  • fetch_tool — Your LLM can fetch saved Riza tools, including source code, which can be useful for editing tools
  • execute_tool — Executes a saved tool securely on Riza's code interpreter API
  • edit_tool — Edits an existing saved tool
  • list_tools — Lists available saved tools
  • execute_code — Executes arbitrary code safely on Riza's code interpreter API, without saving it as a tool

Installing the riza mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: RIZA_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

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. Riza sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — create_tool, fetch_tool, execute_tool among others — 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.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the riza 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.

Available tools

ToolWhat it does
create_toolYour LLM can write code and save it as a tool using the Riza [Tools API](https://docs.riza.io/api-reference/tool/create-tool). It can then execute these tools securely on Riza using execute_tool.
fetch_toolYour LLM can fetch saved Riza tools, including source code, which can be useful for editing tools.
execute_toolExecutes a saved tool securely on Riza's code interpreter API.
edit_toolEdits an existing saved tool.
list_toolsLists available saved tools.
execute_codeExecutes arbitrary code safely on Riza's code interpreter API, without saving it as a tool.

How to install the Riza MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "riza-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@riza-io/riza-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "RIZA_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.

Example prompts to try

  • Use Riza to create tool.
  • Use Riza to fetch tool.
  • Use Riza to execute tool.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Riza to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (create_tool, fetch_tool, execute_tool, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Riza directly.
