The Roblox Game Skill connects directly to Roblox Studio through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling Claude to read your project’s instance hierarchy, execute Luau code, insert Creator Store assets, run playtests, and iterate on bugs — all without leaving your editor. On every invocation, the skill probes for characteristic tool names and selects the operating mode that matches your setup. No manual configuration is required.

How Mode Detection Works

At the start of each session — or whenever a Studio interaction is requested — the skill runs a lightweight detection pass over the available MCP tools. Detection resolves in priority order: the community server is preferred when both servers are present, because it offers the broadest toolset.
1

Probe for Full Mode tools

The skill checks for any of the following tool names: execute_luau, get_file_tree, grep_scripts, create_build, search_objects, get_instance_properties, get_script_source.If any of these are present, the skill sets MCP_MODE = "full" and activates the complete 39-tool workflow.
2

Probe for Standard Mode tools

If no Full Mode tools are found, the skill checks for: run_code, insert_model, get_console_output, start_stop_play, run_script_in_play_mode, get_studio_mode.If these are present without community tools, the skill sets MCP_MODE = "standard" and adapts all workflows to the 6-tool Official server.
3

Fall back to Offline Mode

If neither server’s tools are detected, the skill sets MCP_MODE = "offline" and switches to pure Luau code generation — producing copy-paste-ready scripts with placement instructions instead of live Studio commands.
If both servers happen to be running at the same time, the skill always prefers the Community Server (boshyxd/robloxstudio-mcp) for its broader toolset. It falls back to individual Official Server tools only when a community equivalent is unavailable or encountering errors.

Mode Comparison

ModeServerToolsCapabilities
Fullboshyxd/robloxstudio-mcp39Project exploration, autonomous building, iterative debugging, bulk operations, Creator Store access
StandardRoblox/studio-rust-mcp-server6Code execution, model insertion, console reading, play mode control
OfflineNone0Pure Luau code generation with placement instructions and folder hierarchy
All three modes support the full range of game-development tasks — genre templates, debug loops, performance audits, and more. The skill reformulates every workflow to match what the active mode can actually do.

Choose Your Mode

Full Mode

39 tools from the community MCP server. Autonomous scaffolding, live script editing, Creator Store search, bulk property updates, and bounded debug iteration.

Standard Mode

6 tools from the official Roblox MCP server. Code execution, model insertion, console reads, and play mode toggling — capable of most workflows with smart workarounds.

Offline Mode

No server required. Complete Luau scripts delivered with exact placement instructions, file-system layouts for Rojo users, and manual setup checklists.
