Open5e MCP. Search D&D 5th Edition Stats & Lore Instantly

Forget those bloated rulebooks sitting on your desk. Open5e connects your AI client straight into the core OpenGameContent database for D&D 5th Edition. You don't get summaries; you get raw, actionable stats and lore whenever you ask for 'em. Your agent runs these specific tools, giving you exactly what you need—whether it’s a monster stat block or a tricky rule section—without you ever having to open a physical book.

Global Stat Lookups: Need to know something fast? You can run search_open5e for an instant global search. This pulls up any term or concept across the entire Open5e dataset, letting you get raw statistics and lore for creatures, items, or even specific rules text when you punch in a keyword.

Character Building Core: Defining a character means pulling together several pieces of data. To nail down your backstory, run list_backgrounds to see every established background option. For the core identity, list_classes provides a comprehensive list of recognized classes and their archetypes, while list_species gives you all the available races you can pick from.

When you've got the basic build down, you use list_feats to check out specific character feats you can earn, and then list_equipment lets you filter through weapons, armor, and gear based on what category you need.

Spells and Magic: Casting spells? You'll need to query the spellbook. Run list_spells, and you can filter that massive list by level, specific school of magic (like Evocation or Necromancy), or even which class is allowed to cast it. If you’re building a character with arcane trinkets, use list_magic_items to check for artifacts and magic gear, filtering those results by rarity or item type.

Threat Assessment & Combat: When you're fighting monsters, you don't want to guess their CR. Use list_creatures to search or list NPCs and monsters, letting you narrow the field by size (like Medium or Gargantuan), type (like Undead or Fiend), or a specific challenge rating. If you need quick stats on status effects—say, Poisoned or Blinded—you run list_conditions.

For deep rules dives, list_sections retrieves entire rule sections and supplemental text, keeping your game moving without interruption.

Deep Reference & Lore: You can also get details on character definitions using list_feats, which gives you a roster of available abilities. If you need to know what source documents are even part of the pool, use list_documents to retrieve Open Game License metadata and reference materials. Finally, if there's any obscure rule or piece of text that needs verification, running list_sections lets you pull specific rulesets for quick confirmation.

Your agent handles all this heavy lifting. You just ask a natural language question—like 'What are the stats for a rock elemental?' or 'Show me third-level illusion spells.' The server runs the right tool and spits out the raw data instantly, letting you keep the game moving without ever feeling like you’re waiting on some clunky database query.
