Studio Bridge Compare
How it compares
Several tools connect an AI assistant to Roblox Studio. Here is how Studio Bridge sits next to the main ones, using only what each project says about itself.
| Studio Bridge | Roblox built-in server | WEPPY | robloxstudio-mcp (boshyxd) | robloxstudio-mcp (6xvl) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tools | 79 (28 everyday tools, the rest in groups) | 26, listed in Roblox's docs | Number not stated; it dispatches by action instead of one tool per function | 43 in v2.7.0-next.6, 31 in its read-only edition | "96+" across scripts, instances, terrain, lighting and more |
| Setup | One npm command, then studio-bridge install writes the plugin and registers your AI tool | Turn on "Enable Studio as MCP server" in the Assistant. Nothing else to install | A one-line install script for Windows or macOS/Linux, or npx. Then restart your AI app and Studio | npx plus a Studio plugin from its Releases page | npx plus a Studio plugin from its Releases page |
| Status | Under active development, version 0.6.13 | Part of Roblox Studio | Active: 342 commits and 70 GitHub stars. The author calls it a work in progress | Archived by its owner on June 6, 2026; it points to a fork | Not stated |
| Plugin | Source is in the repository; the signature is verified | No separate plugin; built into Studio | Repository is public and the author says the source is on GitHub. The license is not called open source | Not stated | Compiled and obfuscated; its README says the plugin source is private |
| Platforms | Windows, and Linux through Wine with Vinegar or Grapejuice | Windows and macOS setup shown in the docs | Windows 10+ and macOS 12+ in its requirements; Linux is not listed | Not stated for macOS or Linux | Only Windows paths shown |
| Local security | 127.0.0.1 only, a secret on every request, signed plugin, no telemetry | Docs advise connecting only clients you trust | Localhost only and rate limited. Authentication not stated. Anonymous Google Analytics telemetry, which can be turned off | README says it works "locally and safely"; authentication not described | Authentication not described |
| License | Source-available. All 79 tools are free, including for commercial games. Optional paid Pro packs add snapshots and diffs, QA playtests, a place audit, a dead-code finder and localization | Not stated on the docs page | Its own license: Basic is free; Pro needs a paid license and includes bidirectional sync, UI Studio, bulk operations, terrain, spatial analysis, and audio and animation control | MIT | MIT (repository page) |
Checked on October 31, 2026 against each project's own page: Roblox's docs, WEPPY's README and DevForum post, boshyxd and 6xvl. "Not stated" means the page does not say, not that the answer is no. Projects change, so check theirs before you decide, and tell us if something here is out of date.
Where Studio Bridge helps most
batchruns up to 50 edits as one undo step.- Tool groups keep your AI's tool list small: the 28 everyday tools cost about 5,700 tokens.
ui_responsive_checkand the device emulator check a GUI on phones, tablets and consoles, and none of the 26 tools in Roblox's list does that.- Terrain, lighting, scatter, animation, audio and publishing tools.
- Linux through Wine, and optional Pro packs for snapshots, QA playtests, audits, dead code and localization.
Where WEPPY helps most
- Two-way sync between Studio and local files, with a history (a Pro feature).
- UI Studio for building in-game UI, a web dashboard, and a VS Code explorer extension.
- Works with up to five open Studio windows.
If you want that sync workflow, it is built for it. Its terrain, bulk and animation tools sit behind its Pro license.
Where Roblox's built-in server helps most
- Nothing to install: it is part of Studio.
- Tools for generating meshes and materials, and explore and playtest subagents.
- Maintained by Roblox and kept in step with the Assistant.
- Connects to several open Studio windows at once, which Roblox calls experimental.
If its tools cover what you do, it is a fine place to start. You can run both side by side.
Other things worth knowing
- Roblox's open-source studio-rust-mcp-server was archived on April 3, 2026, and its README recommends the built-in server.
- kolvian/roblox-mcp-server, a fork of Roblox's Rust server, lists 9 tools and Windows and macOS downloads. It states no authentication.
- boshyxd's README recommends the actively maintained fork Chrrxs/robloxstudio-mcp. Its README lists 24 tools by name, an MIT license and Linux through Wine. It is left out of the table to keep it readable.
- Roblox's announcement and docs list the built-in server's tools.
Questions
Is Studio Bridge free?
Yes. All 79 tools are free, including for commercial games. Pro is an optional paid add-on with extra packs.
Does it work with my AI tool?
It speaks standard MCP, so any MCP-ready AI tool can use it. Claude Code is the one it is tested with, and studio-bridge install registers it for you.
Does it send my places anywhere?
No. The bridge listens only on 127.0.0.1 and collects no telemetry. Tools that reach Roblox, such as asset upload and publishing, run only when you ask your AI to use them.
Can I use it with the built-in Roblox server?
Yes, they are separate MCP servers, so you can connect both and let your AI use whichever tool suits the job.
How do I get it?
Follow the install guide. It takes two commands.
