Minecraft Developer FAQs

Question 1

Can I use this with Minecraft hosting providers that don't allow extra ports?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your hosting provider restricts extra ports, you can use a tunneling service like playit.gg. Install their plugin and create a custom TCP tunnel pointing to your MCP's local port (e.g., 127.0.0.1:25374).

Question 2

How do I secure the connection to my AI client?

Accepted Answer

Security is handled via a configurable token in the plugin's `config.yml`. It is crucial to set a long, random, and secure token, as anyone with this token gains console access to your server.

Question 3

What can an AI do with Minecraft Developer?

Accepted Answer

AI clients can execute any console command, read and edit server text files (configs, logs, scripts), upload/download binary files, list installed plugins, and access server logs for advanced debugging and management tasks.

Question 4

What types of Minecraft servers are supported?

Accepted Answer

It is specifically designed for Spigot and Paper Minecraft servers, supporting versions 1.20+.

Question 5

What is Minecraft Developer MCP?

Accepted Answer

Minecraft Developer MCP is a plugin that enables AI clients (like Claude or Cursor) to directly control your Spigot or Paper Minecraft server's console and files using the Model Context Protocol. It allows AI to manage, configure, and debug your server autonomously.
