GB Studio MCP Server
If you're teaching game development or prototyping Game Boy games with GB Studio, this server wires Claude directly into your project files. It exposes tools to create and modify scenes, actors, sprites, and event flows programmatically, plus validation endpoints to smoke test your game logic. You can prompt Claude to scaffold a Pong clone or platformer template, then have students iterate on the generated gbsproj file in the visual editor. The setup runs stdio transport, so configure it in Claude Desktop and point it at your GB Studio projects directory. Built by an educator who's spent 14 years teaching kids to code, it's designed to let learners focus on game design and logic without getting stuck on syntax or boilerplate.
