RimAPI MCP Server

Python MCP server that exposes RimWorld REST API (RIMAPI) endpoints as MCP tools and resources.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• mcp>=1.2.0

Game prerequisites

For this MCP server to work correctly, the RIMAPI mod must be installed and enabled in RimWorld, and a game save must be loaded (a running game session).

Install (optional)

If you only need to run the script, install mcp:

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\python -m pip install mcp>=1.2.0

Configuration (ENV)

• RIMAPI_BASE_URL (default http://localhost:8765)

Run (stdio)

$env:RIMAPI_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8765'
.\.venv\Scripts\python src\mcp_server.py

Note: with stdio transport, the MCP client must start the server process. If you run it manually without a client, it may exit immediately when stdin closes.

Client setup (stdio)

Generic example for a MCP client that spawns a stdio server:

MCPServerStdio(
    name="rimapi-mcp",
    params={
        "command": r"c:\\Projects\\RimAPI_MCP_Server\\.venv\\Scripts\\python",
        "args": [r"c:\\Projects\\RimAPI_MCP_Server\\src\\mcp_server.py"],
        "cwd": r"c:\\Projects\\RimAPI_MCP_Server",
        "env": {
            "MCP_TRANSPORT": "stdio",
            "RIMAPI_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8765",
        },
    },
)

If the client does not accept absolute paths, set cwd and use args: ["src/mcp_server.py"].
