Before you connect
Questions about Open5e.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Does the Open5e MCP work for any D&D edition?
No, it is specifically for 5th Edition content. It pulls from the Open5e database which focuses on 5e rules and data.
Can I use the Open5e MCP to find homebrew monsters?
This Connector pulls from the official Open5e repository. It is best for standard 5e content like spells, creatures, and items.
Will the Open5e MCP help me build a character?
Yes, it can list classes, species, backgrounds, and feats. Your AI agent can help you find the right options for a new hero.
How do I get the rules for status effects?
You can ask your agent to list conditions. It will pull the specific rules for things like stunned, paralyzed, or restrained instantly.
Can the Open5e MCP search for specific magic items?
Yes, it can browse the entire library of magic items. You can even filter by rarity or category to find specific loot.
Is the Open5e MCP good for Dungeon Masters?
It is a great capability for DMs. It lets you quickly grab monster stats or rule references during a game to keep the story flowing.
How can I find a monster with a specific Challenge Rating?
Use the list_creatures capability and provide the cr parameter (e.g., '1', '1/4', or '20'). You can also combine this with the type parameter to find, for example, all CR 5 Dragons.
Can I search for spells available only to a specific class?
Yes! Use the list_spells capability and set the class parameter to your desired class, such as 'Wizard' or 'Cleric'. You can further filter by level to narrow down the results.
What is the best way to find a specific rule or condition?
For status effects, use list_conditions. For general rules or supplemental text, use list_sections. If you aren't sure where it is, use search_open5e for a global search across all categories.
