How to connect Claude to Roblox Studio

Turn on the MCP server inside Roblox Studio, flip the Claude toggle, and Claude Desktop or Claude Code can read and edit your place.

Picks: 2; ranked

You connect Claude to Roblox Studio with the MCP server that is now built into Studio. Turn it on in Studio, then use the Quick connect toggle for Claude Desktop or Claude Code. It runs on your computer, so claude.ai in the browser and the Claude mobile apps cannot reach it. Roblox's older standalone server is archived, so skip tutorials that tell you to install it.

Questions

How do I connect Claude to Roblox Studio?

Turn on Enable Studio as MCP server in Studio, then switch on Claude Desktop or Claude Code under Quick connect. The setup box above has the steps and the manual config.

Can claude.ai in the browser connect to Roblox Studio?

No. The Studio server runs on your computer and only talks to apps on it, so claude.ai and the Claude mobile apps cannot reach it. Use Claude Desktop or Claude Code.

Why is Claude missing from Quick connect?

Install the client first, then restart Roblox Studio. The list shows only clients Studio finds on your computer.

Is the old Roblox studio-rust-mcp-server still supported?

No. Roblox archived it and recommends the built-in server. Existing setups can still work, but new setups should use the built-in one.

Can I use my Claude subscription with Roblox Assistant?

Not that Roblox documents. Assistant can run on your own Anthropic API key, which is billed per use. To use your Claude plan, connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code over MCP instead.

Can ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot connect to Roblox Studio?

Roblox lists Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity and Visual Studio Code. It documents no route for the ChatGPT app, the Gemini web app or the Microsoft Copilot app.

Is it free?

The server is part of Roblox Studio at no extra cost. You still need a Claude plan or other access for Claude itself.

Is it safe to let Claude edit my Roblox place?

Roblox warns that connected clients can read and modify content in your open places. Connect only clients you trust, and save or commit your place first. Claude asks before each tool call unless you allow it.

Can Claude run code in my game?

Yes. It can run Luau code in Edit, Client or Server mode, rewrite scripts and insert Creator Store assets. Review what it does before you publish.

Why does Claude say the Studio plugin connection timed out?

That error comes from community servers that use a Studio plugin. Restart Studio and the client, and check that antivirus is not blocking local connections. The built-in server does not use that plugin.
