Minecraft MCP Server
Minecraft game world interaction for AI assistants to chat and control movement.
Data last scanned yesterday · Reviewed last month
Overview
This integration enables AI models to connect with a running Minecraft server as a bot. By configuring the server path and connecting through the Claude Desktop app, users can allow their AI to observe bot status and location, as well as execute basic actions like jumping, moving, and sending chat messages. Setup requires a local Minecraft Java Edition v1.21 environment. The tool includes instructions for managing Java process persistence and toggling focus settings to maintain an active connection between the game and the AI interface.
Our verdict
This MCP server holds a high-risk security score of 23/100. It is a community-maintained project that has not undergone editorial review, and it suffers from a lack of active development, with the last commit occurring over 496 days ago. Given these maintenance concerns and the unverified nature of its authentication and tool execution methods, it should only be used by developers in sandboxed, non-production environments.
