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
