RuneScape Wiki MCP Server MCP server – quality and maintenance score on Glama

RuneScape 3 MCP Server (RS3) — Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI assistants to RuneScape Wiki, Grand Exchange prices, player hiscores, item comparisons, and money-making tools. Available as a hosted MCP server or npm package.

The GitHub repository is runescape-wiki-mcp. The server covers Grand Exchange market data and player hiscores as well as the wiki.

What it does

Connects an AI assistant to RuneScape 3 data: item prices, 7–90 day trends, side-by-side comparisons, flip estimates after the 2% Grand Exchange tax, player hiscores, and RuneScape Wiki pages.

Why use it

Research items, compare prices, estimate a flip, and look up a player without leaving the assistant. Ask in plain language. The assistant calls the tools.

Example questions

  • What's the current price of a Noxious scythe?
  • Compare the price trends of a Noxious scythe, a Dragon rider lance, and an Abyssal whip.
  • How has the price of a Noxious scythe changed over the past 30 days?
  • Estimate the profit from flipping 100 Dragon rider lances.
  • Look up my RuneScape stats and recommend what to train next.

Price questions use lookup_item, get_item_price, compare_items, summarize_price_history, and estimate_flip. Stats questions use get_player_stats; the assistant turns those levels into a training suggestion. Wiki questions use search_wiki, then get_wiki_page_content.

The server summarizes items you name. It does not rank the whole Grand Exchange by 30-day gain.

Connect

Hosted endpoint: https://runescape-wiki-mcp.fly.dev/mcp

Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other clients that accept a remote MCP URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "runescape-wiki": {
      "url": "https://runescape-wiki-mcp.fly.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

stdio via npm:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "runescape-wiki": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "runescape-wiki-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Local stdio, after npm install and npm run build:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "runescape-wiki": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/runescape-wiki-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Discovery:

Speaks MCP 2026-07-28 (stateless) via stdio and Streamable HTTP, with legacy 2025-era clients still supported.

Tools

  • lookup_item — Resolve an item name to a Grand Exchange ID and the latest price. Start here when you only know the name.
  • get_item_price — Current Grand Exchange detail and trend for one item, by itemId or name.
  • get_item_graph — About 180 days of daily prices, by itemId or name.
  • summarize_price_history — Min, max, average, change, and volume over 7–90 days (default 30).
  • compare_items — Compare up to 10 items by names or itemIds.
  • estimate_flip — Estimated flip profit after the RS3 2% Grand Exchange sales tax.
  • browse_items — Browse one Grand Exchange category by starting letter. This is not a name search.
  • get_all_categories — Category IDs 0–43 and their names.
  • get_category_info — How many items sit under each letter in one category.
  • get_ge_info — Grand Exchange database metadata (lastConfigUpdateRuneday), not prices.
  • get_player_stats — RS3 hiscores for a username. gameMode: normal works. Ironman and hardcore currently return HTTP 404 from Jagex.
  • search_wiki — Search RuneScape Wiki titles and snippets when the page title is unknown.
  • get_wiki_page_content — Plain-text wiki extract. Follows redirects.

Prompts

  • check_item_price — itemName
  • compare_ge_items — items (comma-separated names)
  • estimate_item_flip — itemName, optional quantity
  • player_overview — username

Typical agent flow

lookup_item { query: "abyssal whip" }
  → id 4151, price …
get_item_price { itemId: 4151 }   # or { name: "Abyssal whip" }
summarize_price_history { name: "Abyssal whip", days: 30 }
search_wiki { query: "abyssal whip special attack" }

Notes

  • RS3 only, not OSRS (different IDs and endpoints).
  • Ironman/hardcore index_lite endpoints are documented by Jagex but currently return HTTP 404; the tool reports that instead of silently returning normal-mode data.
  • Smithery hosts should rebuild the server card after tool changes so the published schema matches this README.
