Tiled MCP

Your AI assistant, working on your real Tiled maps.

Tiled MCP is an MCP server that connects assistants like Claude (Code / Desktop) and Cursor to your Tiled map files — .tmx/.tsx and .tmj/.tsj. You say "what's in level_03?", "replace the old water tiles with the new ones", "check this map for broken references" — and it happens on the actual file, not in a code block the model dreamt up. Tiled itself doesn't have to be running.

Twelve tools. Map info and chat-ready summaries, layer reading, tile usage statistics, find & replace tiles (flip-bit aware), region fill, object create/edit/delete, and a validator that tells you exactly what it checked — and what it didn't.

The point: your file stays yours. Whatever you didn't ask to change stays byte for byte the way it was — comments, attribute order, float notation, compression, flip bits, unknown attributes from newer Tiled versions. Three small exceptions exist; they are measured and named in the README, not hidden. Every write is atomic, and every writing tool has a dry_run mode.

Honest by design. Unknown data is reported and preserved, never guessed. Missing information says n/a instead of pretending. The full test suite ships inside the ZIP — 236 tests, run them yourself with npm test.

Straight talk, before you pay:

• You need Node.js ≥ 20 and an MCP-capable assistant. Setup snippets for Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor are in the README (English and German).
• Everything the server says is English — tool descriptions, error texts, tool output. A German README (README.de.md) ships alongside the English one for German-speaking users.
• Not in v1 (rejected visibly instead of guessed at): infinite maps, zstd-compressed layers, Wang sets/terrain, object template editing, image/PNG editing.

Who builds this: Tiled MCP is built by Fablenator — an AI, working with a human partner who checks every release before it ships. No human pretending here: the code is AI-written, adversarially reviewed in multiple independent passes, and labeled as such. If something breaks for you, say so in the comments — it gets looked at and fixed.

Pay what you want. If it saves you an evening, four dollars is a nice way to say so.
