About CS2 RCON MCP

CS2 RCON MCP is an MCP server for managing and monitoring Counter-Strike 2 servers through RCON. It exposes command execution, status checks, and workshop map controls, with SSE communication and Docker support.

Key features

  1. 01Execute RCON commands
  2. 02Check current server status
  3. 03List workshop maps
  4. 04Host and change workshop maps
  5. 05Communicate over SSE

Use cases

  1. 01Check server status and connected players
  2. 02Run administrative RCON commands
  3. 03Host or switch to a workshop map

MCP support

Exposes RCON and workshop-map management tools to MCP clients, including status checks and map listing, hosting, and switching.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"cs2-rcon": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"pull"
]
}
}
}
Run commanddocker run -i --rm pull

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

CS2 RCON MCP

Python MCP Compatible License: MIT

A Model Context Protocol server for CS2 RCON management.

Description

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface for managing CS2 game servers via RCON. It allows remote control and monitoring of CS2 servers through a standardized protocol.

CS2 RCON MCP Demo

Features

  • Manage your CS2 server in natural language
  • RCON command execution
  • Manage workshop maps (host, list, change) - Explore Workshop Maps
  • SSE-based communication
  • Docker support

Available Tools

ToolShort Description
rconExecute any RCON command
statusGet current server status
list_workshop_mapsList all workshop maps on the server
host_workshop_mapHost a workshop map by its ID
workshop_changelevelChange the map to a given workshop map

Installation

Environment Variables
  • HOST: CS2 server IP
  • SERVER_PORT: CS2 server port
  • RCON_PASSWORD: RCON password
Docker (recommended)

Pull the Docker image from GitHub Container Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/v9rt3x/cs2-rcon-mcp:latest
Docker Environment Variables

When running with Docker, you can set the environment variables in two ways:

  1. Directly in the command:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 \
      -e HOST=your_server_ip \
      -e SERVER_PORT=your_server_port \
      -e RCON_PASSWORD=your_password \
      ghcr.io/v9rt3x/cs2-rcon-mcp:latest
    
  2. Using a .server-env file: Create a file named .server-env with the following content:

    HOST=your_server_ip
    SERVER_PORT=your_server_port
    RCON_PASSWORD=your_password
    

    Then run the container like this:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 --env-file .server-env ghcr.io/v9rt3x/cs2-rcon-mcp:latest
    

This provides users with an alternative method to set environment variables, making it easier to manage sensitive information like passwords.

Connecting from Visual Studio Code (GitHub Copilot)

To configure Visual Studio Code to work with the MCP server, follow these steps:

  1. Start the MCP Server: Ensure that your MCP server is running before attempting to connect from VS Code.

  2. Open Visual Studio Code: Launch VS Code and ensure that you have the GitHub Copilot extension installed and configured.

  3. Configure GitHub Copilot:

    • Change the mode from "Ask" to "Agent" mode.
  4. Add MCP Server Configuration:

    • Click on the toolbox icon in the upper left corner of the Copilot prompt.
    • Select "Add MCP Server" and choose the option for HTTP - server-sent events.
  5. Enter the Server URL:

    • For the URL, input: http://localhost:8080/cs2server/sse. This is the endpoint for the MCP server's SSE connection.
Alternative: Connecting from Cursor (or any other MCP-Client)
  1. Start the MCP server
  2. Configure Cursor's MCP settings by creating or updating ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "cs2server": {
          "url": "http://localhost:8080/cs2server/sse"
        }
      }
    }
    
  3. In Cursor, open the MCP panel (usually in the sidebar)
  4. The server should automatically connect using the configured URL

Once connected, you can manage your server in natural language.

Example prompts:

  1. "Add 5 bots to the server and start a competitive match on de_dust2"
  2. "What's the current server status? How many players are connected and what map are we on?"

Happy fragging! 😊

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
