✨ Features

37+ MCP Tools

| | Category | What You Can Do | | :--- | :--------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------- | | 📂 | Instance Hierarchy | Browse game tree, search by name / class / content, list services | | 📝 | Script Management | Read, write, line-edit Luau scripts with range support | | ⚡ | Batch Editing | Atomic multi-op edits with SHA-256 hash checks + auto-rollback | | 🔩 | Properties | Get/set any property, mass ops, formula & relative calculations | | 🏗️ | Object Lifecycle | Create, delete, smart-duplicate with offset grids & variations | | 🏷️ | Attributes & Tags | Full CRUD for attributes + CollectionService tags | | 🩺 | Diagnostics | Drift detection, deprecated API lint, health endpoints, telemetry | | 💾 | Snapshots | In-memory script snapshots with instant rollback |

IDE-First Sync

  • Blueprint V1Rojo-based multi-place source control
  • Bi-directional — push local files to Studio or pull Studio changes back
  • Conflict-safe — hash-based guards prevent accidental overwrites
  • Drift detection — know exactly when local and Studio have diverged

Built for Reliability

  • Optimistic concurrency via SHA-256 source hashes
  • Write idempotency — replay-safe with X-Idempotency-Key
  • Chunked script uploads for very large rewrites that exceed single MCP payload limits
  • Safe bridge fallback for script writes instead of set_property on Source
  • Full-source reads for large scripts automatically avoid truncated plugin responses
  • Smart plugin polling: hot → active → idle intervals
  • Drift checks ignore formatting-only differences by default and report both raw and normalized hashes
  • Atomic apply → verify → rollback pipeline

🆕 Recent Reliability Fixes

  • Large script reads are no longer silently truncated — full-source reads now return the complete script even when the plugin would otherwise cap the response to the first 1000 lines.
  • Formatting-only drift no longer shows up as content driftcheck_script_drift now normalizes line endings, BOM, trailing whitespace, and trailing final newlines by default.
  • Drift output is more explicit — diagnostics now include comparisonMode, formattingOnly, formattingDifferences, raw hashes/lengths, and normalized hashes/lengths.
  • Large script writes now have a safe transport — use the chunked upload tools or scripts/push-script-fast.mjs for large files; they commit through the plugin bridge and UpdateSourceAsync instead of set_property.
  • Source writes no longer go through property toolsset_property and mass_set_property now reject the Source property so escape sequences are not corrupted.
  • Server and plugin defaults are aligned around port 3002 — current builds start on 3002 first and keep 58741 only as a legacy fallback.

Example of the expected healthy case:

{
  "status": "in-sync",
  "comparisonMode": "canonical-text",
  "formattingOnly": true,
  "formattingDifferences": ["trailing-newline"],
  "rawLocalLength": 74884,
  "rawStudioLength": 74883,
  "normalizedLocalLength": 74883,
  "normalizedStudioLength": 74883
}

This means the raw bytes differ, but the actual script content is the same.

A real healthy verification case now looks like this:

  • Full source read: localLength: 74883, studioLength: 74883
  • Raw bytes can still differ by one trailing newline: rawLocalLength: 74884, rawStudioLength: 74883
  • Normalized hashes then match, so the result is correctly reported as in-sync
  • The result includes comparisonMode, formattingOnly, formattingDifferences, and raw vs normalized hashes/lengths

Luau Lint Setup (luau-lsp)

npm run luau:lint uses luau-lsp which ships full Roblox type stubsPlayer, BasePart, Vector3, RemoteEvent, etc. all resolve correctly under --!strict.

One-time setup:

Option A — use the bundled binary (already in this repo, v1.63.0 Windows x64): ``powershell Expand-Archive tools\luau-lsp\luau-lsp-win64.zip -DestinationPath .tools\luau-lsp -Force ``

Option B — download the latest release for your platform:

  • 👉 https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/luau-lsp/releases/latest
  • Download luau-lsp-win64.zip (Windows), luau-lsp-macos.zip (macOS), or luau-lsp-linux.zip (Linux)
  • Extract luau-lsp[.exe].tools/luau-lsp/luau-lsp.exe

Then generate the Rojo sourcemap: ``bash rojo sourcemap blueprint-v1/places/<slug>/default.project.json --output sourcemap.json ``

Run: ``bash npm run luau:lint # findings=0 is the goal npm run luau:lint:strict # exits non-zero if any findings (use in CI) ``

Expected clean output: `` [context] Place1 (125175608517936) [place1-2] [luau-lint] files=4 analyzer=.tools/luau-lsp/luau-lsp.exe [luau-lint] sourcemap=sourcemap.json [luau-lint] findings=0 ``

📋 Blueprint Operator Playbook

Everything below is the strict operational guide for working with Blueprint V1. Follow these steps exactly.

1. Canonical Windows Flow (copy-paste)

Open a terminal in the repo root and run each step in order:

# Step 1 — Detect the place open in Studio and register it
npm run place:detect

# Step 2 — Confirm resolved paths
npm run place:status

# Step 3 — Start Rojo against the resolved project
rojo serve blueprint-v1/places/<slug>/default.project.json

# Step 4 — Start continuous property sync (separate terminal)
npm run blueprint:watch

# Step 5 — Start reverse sync guard (separate terminal)
npm run blueprint:reverse-sync

Or use the one-command launcher that does steps 3-5 automatically:

npm run studio -- dev --place <slug>

Or the legacy orchestrator:

npm run dev:studio -- --place <slug>

This resolves the existing place context, then spawns the MCP server, Rojo, property watcher, and reverse-sync in parallel. It does not run place:detect — you must register the place first. Press Ctrl+C to stop all.

---

2. Required Tooling Install Matrix

| Tool | Required | Install (Windows) | | :--------------- | :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Node.js ≥ 18 | ✅ Yes | winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS or nodejs.org | | Rojo | ✅ Yes (for script sync) | cargo install rojo — or download binary and add to PATH | | Luau CLI | Optional (for lint) | npm run luau:install (auto-downloads from luau-lang releases) |

<details> <summary><b>No winget or cargo?</b></summary>

  • Node.js: Download the .msi installer from nodejs.org/en/download
  • Rojo: Download rojo.exe from GitHub releases, place in a folder on your PATH
  • Luau: npm run luau:install handles this — it downloads the correct binary for your OS into .tools/

</details>

---

3. Expected Success Output Per Step

npm run place:detect `` ✔ Detected place: Place2 (136131439760483) ✔ Registered slug: place2 ✔ Set as active place ``

npm run place:status `` Mode: place Place: Place2 (136131439760483) Slug: place2 Project: blueprint-v1/places/place2/default.project.json Source: blueprint-v1/places/place2/src Properties: blueprint-v1/places/place2/properties/instances.json ``

rojo serve ... `` Rojo server listening on port 34872 ``

http://localhost:3002/health ``json { "pluginConnected": true, "mcpServerActive": true, "plugin": { "version": "1.10.0" } } ``

npm run blueprint:reverse-sync `` Reverse sync active. Tracked scripts: 3 Polling every 2000ms... ``

If any output differs from the above, stop and consult the Troubleshooting table.

---

4. Source of Truth Rules

| Situation | Who Wins | Action | | :---------------------------------------------- | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ | | You edited a .luau file locally | Local wins | Rojo pushes to Studio automatically | | You edited a script inside Studio | Studio wins | Run npm run blueprint:reverse-sync to pull changes back | | Both sides changed the same script | Neither — conflict | A conflict snapshot folder is written; you manually merge | | Non-script property changed in Studio | Studio wins | No automated pull — manually update instances.json to match | | Non-script property changed in instances.json | Local wins | Run npm run blueprint:sync to push to Studio | | You aren't sure what changed | Check first | Run npm run drift:check to compare hashes |

Golden rule: Edit scripts in your IDE (Rojo syncs them). Edit non-script properties via instances.json. Only reverse-sync when you intentionally made Studio-side script changes.

---

5. File Naming & Path Mapping

Rojo uses file suffixes to determine the script type and instance name:

| File Suffix | Script Type | Instance Name | | :------------------ | :----------------------------- | :---------------------- | | .server.luau | Script (runs on server) | Filename without suffix | | .client.luau | LocalScript (runs on client) | Filename without suffix | | .module.luau | ModuleScript (shared) | Filename without suffix | | .luau (no suffix) | ModuleScript | Full filename |

Path resolution example:

File:     blueprint-v1/places/place2/src/ServerScriptService/HorrorMain.server.luau
Instance: game.ServerScriptService.HorrorMain       (Script)

File:     blueprint-v1/places/place2/src/StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts/HorrorClient.client.luau
Instance: game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.HorrorClient   (LocalScript)

File:     blueprint-v1/places/place2/src/ReplicatedStorage/HorrorConfig.module.luau
Instance: game.ReplicatedStorage.HorrorConfig        (ModuleScript)

The directory path under src/ maps directly to the Roblox service hierarchy. The default.project.json defines which directories map to which services.

---

6. Conflict Handling

When reverse-sync detects both local and Studio changed the same script, it writes a conflict snapshot folder instead of overwriting:

blueprint-v1/places/<slug>/.reverse-sync-conflicts/
└── ServerScriptService/
    └── HorrorMain.server.luau/
        ├── local.luau       # Your local version at time of conflict
        ├── studio.luau      # The Studio version that diverged
        └── meta.json        # Timestamps, hashes, instance path

Recovery workflow:

  1. Open the conflict folder (e.g. .reverse-sync-conflicts/ServerScriptService/HorrorMain.server.luau/)
  2. Compare local.luau (your version) vs studio.luau (Studio's version)
  3. Manually merge the changes into the original .luau file in src/
  4. Delete the conflict folder
  5. Run npm run blueprint:reverse-sync again — it will re-baseline from the merged file

State tracking: Each tracked script's hashes are stored in: `` blueprint-v1/places/<slug>/.reverse-sync-state.json ``

This file contains lastLocalHash and lastStudioHash per script. If you need to force a full re-sync, delete this file and restart reverse-sync.

---

7. Common Failures & Fixes

| Failure | Cause | Fix | | :--------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------- | | Place resolves wrong slug | .active-place.json points to old place | npm run place:detect (re-detects from Studio) | | rojo: command not found | Rojo not installed or not on PATH | Install via cargo install rojo or download binary | | Module path mismatch | File in wrong src/ subdirectory | Match directory to Roblox service name exactly | | HTTP 403 from plugin | HTTP requests disabled in Studio | Game Settings → Security → Allow HTTP Requests | | Stale .active-place.json | Switched Studio places without re-detecting | npm run place:detect | | ECONNREFUSED :3002 | MCP server not running | npm run studio -- dev or npm run dev:studio | | Reverse-sync shows 0 tracked | No scripts match Rojo mappings | Verify files exist in resolved src/ path | | Rojo sync not updating Studio | Rojo serving wrong project file | Check npm run place:status for correct project path | | Lint says "luau-analyze not found" | Luau CLI not installed | npm run luau:install | | blueprint:doctor fails | Server or plugin not connected | Start server, open Studio, enable plugin |

---

8. One-Command Dev Launcher

The Studio CLI is the recommended daily driver:

npm run studio -- dev --place place2

Or use the legacy orchestrator:

npm run dev:studio -- --place place2

Both start all four services in parallel:

| Service | What It Does | | :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- | | MCP server | node dist/index.js | | Rojo | rojo serve blueprint-v1/places/place2/default.project.json | | Property watcher | Continuous blueprint:watch for non-script sync | | Reverse sync | Guarded Studio → local pull |

The CLI adds PID tracking, health checks, log capture, and a beautiful terminal UI:

✓ Resolved: Place2 [place2]
✓ MCP server listening on port 3002
✓ Rojo server listening on port 34872
✓ Property watcher active
✓ Reverse sync active

│  Studio:   ● Press Ctrl+C to stop all                              │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

CLI flags: --no-rojo, --no-watch, --no-reverse to disable individual services. --verbose to see process output.

9. Blueprint Scope Boundaries

Blueprint separates concerns cleanly between two systems:

| What | Managed By | Files | | :------------------------------------------------------ | :------------------------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------- | | Scripts (Luau code) | Rojo | .server.luau, .client.luau, .module.luau in src/ | | Non-script properties (Position, Size, Color, etc.) | Sync scripts | properties/instances.json | | Attributes | Sync scripts | properties/instances.json (attributes field) | | Tags | Sync scripts | properties/instances.json (tags field) | | Instance creation / hierarchy | Rojo (via default.project.json) | default.project.json tree |

Do NOT:

  • Edit .luau files through instances.json — Rojo handles scripts
  • Create new services by adding directories without updating default.project.json
  • Mix legacy blueprint-v1/src/ with place-specific blueprint-v1/places/<slug>/src/

---

10. Example: Horror Game (place2)

A complete real-world place from this repository:

Registry entry (blueprint-v1/places/registry.json): ``json { "136131439760483": { "placeId": 136131439760483, "gameId": 9708597637, "slug": "place2", "displayName": "Place2" } } ``

Full workflow for this place: ```powershell

One-time: detect and register

npm run place:detect

→ ✔ Detected place: Place2 (136131439760483), slug: place2

Daily: start everything

npm run studio -- dev --place place2

→ MCP server, Rojo, property watcher, and reverse sync all running

Or the legacy orchestrator:

npm run dev:studio -- --place place2

Or manually:

rojo serve blueprint-v1/places/place2/default.project.json npm run blueprint:watch npm run blueprint:reverse-sync ```

🔒 Security

| | | | :--------------- | :----------------------------------------------- | | Local-only | All traffic stays on localhost:3002 | | No telemetry | Zero data collection — your projects are private | | Explicit | Tools only run when your AI invokes them | | Separated | Read and write operations are distinct |

---

❓ Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix | | :------------- | :----------------------------------------------------- | | Plugin missing | .rbxmx in plugins folder → restart Studio | | HTTP 403 | Game Settings → Security → Allow HTTP Requests | | Disconnected | Start the MCP server — red is normal until then | | No tools | Restart MCP client + Studio, check /health | | Slow or large writes | Use chunked upload tools or push-script-fast.mjs | | Firewall | Allow localhost:3002 |
