Roblox Studio MCP server & Claude connector

Does Roblox Studio have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, Roblox ships an official MCP server built into Roblox Studio, documented at create.roblox.com. It runs locally over stdio, so there is no remote endpoint or OAuth. Roblox's earlier standalone Rust server is archived. Connected clients can read and modify your open place, so only connect clients you trust.
