Rpg Encoder MCP Server
Give your AI agent a brain for your codebase. AI coding agents waste most of their tool calls fumbling through your codebase with grep, cat, find, and file reads. rpg-encoder fixes that. It builds a semantic graph of your code with Tree-sitter - not just what calls what, but what every function does - and gives your AI assistant whole-repo understanding via MCP in a single tool call.
People who work with agentic tools, code analysis and embeddings and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.

01 · Install Rpg Encoder
Claude Code
claude mcp add userfrm-rpg-encoder -- npx -y rpg-encoder Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"userfrm-rpg-encoder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"rpg-encoder"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
npm package rpg-encoder - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.userFRM is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Rpg Encoder FAQ
What is Rpg Encoder?
Give your AI agent a brain for your codebase. AI coding agents waste most of their tool calls fumbling through your codebase with grep, cat, find, and file reads. rpg-encoder fixes that. It builds a semantic graph of your code with Tree-sitter - not just what calls what, but what every function does - and gives your AI assistant whole-repo understanding via MCP in a single tool call.
Is Rpg Encoder still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-05-29. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Rpg Encoder?
Run `npx -y rpg-encoder`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Rpg Encoder run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
