Command line
The tools that come with a source build.
The release tarball ships rbxstudio. cargo build --release from a source checkout builds the rest.
| Binary | What it does |
|---|---|
rbxstudio | The editor. rbxstudio [--select <name-or-path>] [--run <script.luau>] [--verbose] <place>, --help for the rest |
rbxview | Standalone 3D viewer, rbxview place.rbxl [--screenshot out.png] |
rbxdump | Prints a file's instance tree. --roundtrip <file> writes it back and diffs it |
rbxlua | Runs Luau against a place, or its TestEZ specs with rbxlua test place.rbxl |
rbxaudit | Checks scripts for remote security problems, exits 1 on any High so it fits in CI |
rbxcloud | Small Open Cloud CLI: whoami, list, download, asset |
MCP server (beta)
Turn on Settings, Beta features, MCP server, then point your AI client at rbxstudio --mcp. It can read and edit the place the editor has open, through the same tools Roblox's Studio MCP server names.
