"Torva full helm price"
"Current price of a dragon pickaxe"
"How much percentage has the price of a dragon pickaxe changed in the past 30 days?"
"How much percentage has the price of a dragon pickaxe changed in the past 90 days?"
"How much percentage has the price of a dragon pickaxe changed in the past 180 days?"
"Give me the description of an armadyl godsword"
"Give me the icon of a dragon scimitar"
"What is the id of an abbyssal whip?"
Item Price History
"Give me the price history of a dragon scimitar"
"Rune scimitar price on 1 april 2025?"
Player Hiscore
"What rank is Zezima?"
"What rank is Zezima on runescape?"
"How much experience does Lynx Titan have overall?"
"Iron Hyger ironman rank?"
Top Rankings
"Top 10 players overall?"
"Give me the top 50 attack rankings"
"Number one agility on runescape?"
"Most zulrah kills?"
"Give me the top 5 jad rankings"
Getting Started
You can use the MCP server in many clients, for example:
- Claude desktop
- Cursor
1. Add the MCP server in your config (NPM Package)
Paste this snippet in your mcp config that your client is using
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-runescape": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-runescape"]
}
}
}
You can find the config file in (mac):
- Claude desktop:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Cursor:
/Users/name/.cursor/mcp.json
2. From Source
Required Node.js installed on your system
- Clone this repository
- Install dependencies:
oryarnnpm install - Then update your Claude desktop or Cursor with:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-runescape": { "command": "node", "args": ["/Users/path/to/mcp-server-runescape/src/server.js"] } } } - Optional: Run the debugger/inspector
oryarn devnpm run build
Make sure to:
- Replace
/path/to/mcp-server-runescapewith the actual path to your installation.
After updating the configuration, restart Claude desktop or Cursor for the changes to take effect.
Personal preference
You can use any client you want, my personal preference goes to Cursor at the moment in combination with deepseek-v3.1 which is performing really well.

Thank you
I built this over the weekend, to learn a bit more about MCP servers. Runescape was the perfect subject to try it out on.
- Shout out to the rs/wiki team for the docs and API.
If this helps you out in anyway when scaping and you would like to support me, feel free to

New to MCP?
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.
