FAQ
Does this work with my existing GB Studio project?▼
Yes, the MCP server connects to your GB Studio project via its REST API. You can use it to modify scenes, actors, and assets in your current project without starting from scratch.
What AI assistants are supported?▼
Currently, the server works with Claude Desktop and any MCP-compatible assistant. Full compatibility with other MCP clients is listed in the TUTORIAL.md file.
Is it compatible with GBA Studio?▼
Yes, the server also supports GBA Studio, a fork of GB Studio that targets the Game Boy Advance. All endpoints work for both platforms.
