Craftwire Overview

Craftwire MCP server connects AI agents to Minecraft Fabric clients and Paper servers through tools for screenshots, input, menus, chat, world editing, bots, and plugin development. Fabric client access covers visual capture, camera control, GUI interaction, HUD reading, and recording, while Paper access includes console commands, Bukkit JavaScript, world operations, bot control, event capture, and plugin deployment. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect or operate a Minecraft environment, automate plugin tests, build structures from scripts, or investigate server and client performance. The server runs locally for MCP clients and can use ffmpeg for video recording.
