pi-roblox-docs

Pi native Roblox documentation tools.

This package does not start an MCP server, uvx, or a background Node daemon. It runs inside Pi's TypeScript extension runtime and registers Roblox documentation tools directly with pi.registerTool().

Tools

MVP tools:

• roblox_sync - download/update local Roblox API cache
• roblox_health - show cache/index status
• roblox_search - search classes, members, and enums
• roblox_get_class - show one class with grouped members
• roblox_get_member - show one class member
• roblox_get_enum - show enum values
• roblox_search_devforum - search Roblox Developer Forum discussions
• roblox_clear_cache - delete local cache

Slash commands

• /roblox:sync - sync local Roblox docs cache
• /roblox:sync --force - redownload even when versions match
• /roblox:health - show cache/index status
• /roblox:devforum <query> - search DevForum discussions
• /roblox:clear-cache - delete local cache after confirmation

Data sources

Public sources used by the extension:

• MaximumADHD/Roblox-Client-Tracker for API-Dump.json, api-docs/en-us.json, and version.txt
• Roblox Creator Docs links for output references

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-roblox-docs

From GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/eiei114/pi-roblox-docs

Local development:

pi -e ./extensions/roblox-docs.ts

Development

npm ci
npm run check

Usage

First sync data:

Call roblox_sync with force=false

Then ask Roblox API questions. Examples:

• "How do I use TweenService?"
• "Is BodyPosition deprecated?"
• "What enum values does EasingStyle have?"
• "Find APIs for player character spawning."

Cache

Cache location is OS-specific:

• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/pi-roblox-docs
• macOS: ~/Library/Caches/pi-roblox-docs
• Linux: ~/.cache/pi-roblox-docs

The extension does not write large Roblox JSON files into your project or Obsidian vault.

DevForum search results are cached for 1 hour in devforum-cache.json and are deleted by /roblox:clear-cache.
