EL4CTEO/roblox-devforum-mcp
Give your AI coding agent the Roblox DevForum and official creator docs — check if a bug is already known, read the accepted answer, and verify APIs before writing Luau.
Project Overview项目介绍
roblox-devforum-mcp is a DSH MCP server plugin that lets an AI coding agent query the Roblox Developer Forum and official creator docs, with no API key or login. It exposes read-only tools for searching threads, checking bug status with Roblox's tag, reading accepted answers, and verifying Luau API health. Use it when a script error looks platform-side or when an API may be deprecated. Data is pulled from public Discourse and GitHub sources, is not affiliated with Roblox Corporation, and links should be re-checked for currency.
roblox-devforum-mcp 是一个面向 DSH 的 MCP 服务器插件,让 AI 编码代理直接查询 Roblox 开发者论坛与官方创作文档,无密钥免登录。核心能力包括搜索帖子、检索 Bug 状态、读取话题、核对 Luau API 健康度等十余个只读工具。当 Luau 脚本遇到疑似平台端错误、API 弃用或文档歧义时即可调用。需注意数据来源为公开 Discourse 与 GitHub 仓库,不附属于 Roblox 公司,引用前应核实时效。

roblox-devforum-mcp
An MCP server that gives an AI coding agent the Roblox Developer Forum and the official creator docs.
When your agent hits a Roblox bug, it can check whether Roblox already has it triaged, read the accepted answer, and confirm the API before writing Luau.
No API key, no login, no setup.
Install
claude mcp add roblox-devforum -- npx -y roblox-devforum-mcp
dsh plugin --profile web add roblox-devforum-mcp
Any other MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"roblox-devforum": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "roblox-devforum-mcp"]
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_devforum |
Search the forum. Filters for category, tag, solved-only, likes and date. Pass several phrasings to run them at once. |
search_bugs |
Search only the bug-report categories, so a hit means somebody reported the same symptom. |
get_thread |
Read a topic as Markdown, accepted answer first, code blocks intact. |
get_replies |
Page through a long thread. |
list_recent |
Latest or top topics in a category or tag. |
list_categories |
Every category and tag slug the filters accept. |
search_creator_docs |
Search the docs by page content; pass path to read a page in full. |
get_engine_api |
Signatures, security levels and deprecations from the live API dump. |
check_api_health |
Check APIs before you ship: removed, deprecated, security-gated, yielding. |
get_whats_new |
Recent platform changes — for "this worked last week". |
get_weekly_recap |
Any Roblox Weekly Recap, current or historical. |
Every tool is read-only, returns Markdown with source URLs, and stays inside a token budget.
[answered] beside a result means a reply was marked as the solution — by whoever opened the
thread, not by Roblox. Roblox does not publish a triage state, so read the thread to see
whether staff replied.
Example
"My DataStore:SetAsync keeps failing with
502: API Services rejected request. Is this on Roblox's end?"
The agent runs search_bugs on the error text, get_thread on the best hit, then
check_api_health before touching your code.
