Minecraft Development MCP Server
Minecraft Development MCP Server gives AI assistants tools to decompile, remap, search, and analyze Minecraft source code and mods.
What Minecraft Development MCP Server is
Minecraft Development MCP Server gives AI assistants tools to decompile, remap, search, and analyze Minecraft source code and mods. On first use, it can download, remap, and decompile Minecraft versions, then cache the results. Its 21 tools cover source code, mappings and registry data, analysis and validation, and mod analysis. Developers can validate Mixin code, Fabric access wideners, and Forge or NeoForge access transformers against source or bytecode. Class-level and AST-level comparisons can reveal changes between versions, while SQLite FTS5 indexes enable full-text searches across Minecraft and mod source. The server can analyze mod JARs for Fabric, Quilt, Forge, and NeoForge, including metadata, dependencies, entry points, and mixin configurations. Mapping namespaces include Yarn, Mojmap, Intermediary, and obfuscated; Yarn is supported for versions 1.14–1.21.11, while versions 26.1 and later support Mojmap but not Yarn. Setup is documented for Claude Desktop and Claude Code, with HTTP transport and a standalone CLI also available. Installation options include global npm, npx, or building from source. The MIT-licensed project is free, but decompilation and remapping require Node.js 18 or newer and Java 17 or newer. Its local cache uses about 400–500 MB per Minecraft version.
