mc-mod-config-mcp

MCP server for Minecraft mod configuration file management. Reads, validates, compares, and cleans up .cfg, .toml, and .json config files from modpacks.

Tools

Supported Config Formats

Features

• Multi-format parsing — handles Forge .cfg, Fabric .toml, and .json configs natively
• Validation engine — detects empty values, invalid numbers, parse errors, and oversized strings
• Config comparison — key-level diff for tracking changes across modpack updates
• Orphan detection — matches config files against installed mod JARs plus a built-in known-mods database
• Default configs — bundled known-good defaults for popular performance mods
• Fully offline — no network calls; all data is local or built-in

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm

Build

cd mc-mod-config-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Run as standalone MCP server

node dist/index.js

The server communicates via stdio (JSON-RPC 2.0). It can be consumed by any MCP-compatible client.

Configuration for MCP clients

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mc-mod-config": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["${MC_MOD_CONFIG_ROOT}/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Path note: Replace ${MC_MOD_CONFIG_ROOT} with the absolute path to this project's root directory. On Windows, use forward slashes: ["C:/path/to/mc-mod-config-mcp/dist/index.js"]（把 C:/path/to/ 替换成你的实际路径）。 Alternatively, set an environment variable MC_MOD_CONFIG_ROOT pointing to the project root and use the variable in the config.

Configuration

本工具零配置即可用（内置默认值，任何环境开箱即用）。以下项目可通过环境变量或项目根目录 .env 文件覆盖（复制 .env.example 为 .env）：

扩展已知模组默认配置库：编辑 src/mod-defaults.json（构建后为 dist/mod-defaults.json），在 defaults 下新增/覆盖模组即可，无需改代码。例如新增 "iris": { "name": "Iris", "fallbackConfig": { "enableShaders": true } }。

优先级：环境变量 > .env 文件 > 内置默认值。改动后重启 MCP server 生效。

  }
}

Validate configs for issues

{
  "name": "validate_mod_configs",
  "arguments": {
    "configDir": "/path/to/modpack/config"
  }
}

Compare configs before and after an update

{
  "name": "compare_mod_configs",
