WoW Addon Dev MCP

What it does

This server provides an AI with deep technical knowledge of the World of Warcraft addon ecosystem. It indexes Blizzard's API documentation and FrameXML source code locally, enabling the AI to help developers write, migrate, and lint Lua code for WoW addons without requiring constant network calls to external docs.

Tools

• lookup_blizzard_api: Look up a WoW in-game API function by name.
• search_blizzard_api: Full-text search across all API functions, events, and tables.
• search_framexml: Search Blizzard's FrameXML/addon source code for implementation patterns.
• validate_toc: Validate .toc files for correct interface versions and syntax.
• check_api_deprecation: Scan Lua code for deprecated API calls and suggest replacements.
• scaffold_addon: Generate boilerplate for new WoW addons with specified features.
• lint_addon_lua: Static-analysis linting for risky Lua patterns in addons.
• lookup_cvar: Discover and search WoW console variables (CVars).
