MCP server for LLM agents
scarcore-mcp exposes your catalog to Claude, Cursor, Grok, and any MCP client — hybrid semantic search, filters, similar assets, collections, and stats. Read-only by design, with a user kill-switch in Settings.

ScarCore
Your AI can finally see the assets you already own.
Stop remaking assets you already own.
Local-first desktop library for 3D models, textures, audio, video, and documents — with previews, batch tools, game engine export, WASM addons, and a local MCP server so LLM agents search your library by meaning, not garbage filenames.

The problem
Artists and studios accumulate thousands of marketplace purchases, DCC exports, and legacy files with names like boy2375.fbx, themewinter_007.mat, or SFX_pack_v3_final_FINAL.wav. Finding “low-poly wooden crate” or “rainy dock ambience” is guesswork. Search fails, duplicates multiply, licenses get forgotten, and teams remake work that already lives somewhere on disk.
ScarCore closes the loop: import → understand → organize → convert → export → discover again — by you or by an agent.
Why ScarCore
Hybrid AI / vector similarity search
Embeddings (BGE-small) plus local vector index, fused with full-text keyword search. Conceptual queries and “find things like this” — with graceful fallback to keyword-only mode.
Full-spectrum media library
Nine categories: 3D models, animations, images, textures, audio, video, tools, frameworks — previews, metadata, commercial licenses, hierarchical tags, collections, and favorites.
Production tools + collection export
Batch convert images, 3D, and audio; video trimming; duplicate file cleanup; per-collection export with Unity / Unreal / Godot presets and automatic format conversion.
Sandboxed addon system
WASM plugins add importers, converters, and batch tools without source access. Permission confirmation, Safe Mode, and optional registry browse.
MCP — your AI can query the library
ScarCore is agent-ready. Point Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client at scarcore-mcp and your local library becomes a tool the agent can query — production planning, PRD gap analysis, reuse discovery, and “do we already have this?”
Read-only by design. Offline-capable after a one-time embedding model download. Kill-switch in Settings → Advanced → Allow MCP server access.
Agent tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
search_assets | Hybrid semantic + keyword search (flagship) |
keyword_search_assets | Exact / prefix full-text search |
filter_assets | Structured listing by type, tags, license, polycount |
get_asset_details | Full record: paths, tags, tech meta, collections, license |
get_similar_assets | Vector neighbors of an existing asset |
list_tags | Controlled tag vocabulary per asset type |
list_collections | User-curated collections |
get_library_stats | Counts, sizes, index freshness |
health_check | Catalog reachability and semantic availability |
reindex | Rebuild the local semantic index (MCP index only) |
Example agent prompts
- “Find all commercial-license low-poly crates under 5k tris”
- “What do we already own for a rainy docks level?”
- “Given this PRD, list assets we can reuse vs create with file paths”
- “Show assets similar to this hero weapon model”
- “List SFX we own that match footstep / metal impact”
Asset Intelligence
Given a game PRD/GDD excerpt, an agent can produce an owned / adapt / create list so you never commission work you already have — license-aware, path-backed, and biased toward reuse.
Library & organization
Nine asset categories with previews, hierarchical tags, commercial-license fields, collections, favorites, and a production-grade detail panel — not a stub browser.
- Virtualized card grid with full-text search across filenames, tags, and descriptions
- Filters by type, commercial license, audio channels, and hierarchical tags
- Multi-select batch actions: rename, collect, favorite, relink, regenerate previews
- Interactive 3D viewer — orbit, lighting, multi-format loaders, animation playback
- Library health: missing-file detection and relink workflows
- Optional AI auto-tagging after import (local vision pack or cloud providers)
3D Models
OBJ, FBX, GLTF/GLB, STL, DAE, BLEND, 3DS, PLY — geometry stats, multi-view previews, in-app 3D viewer
Animations
First-class type with preview support where applicable
Images
JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, SVG, TGA, PSD, DDS, HDR/EXR, and more
Textures
PBR-friendly texture assets with technical metadata
Audio
MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, and more; waveforms; channel filters
Video
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM — frame previews and native playback
Documents
PDF, TXT, MD for searchable notes and specs
Tools & Frameworks
Utility and framework packs tracked like other library content
Collections & engine export
Collections turn ScarCore into a delivery pack builder: scope assets for a project, analyze engine compatibility, convert what doesn’t match, and export with progress.
- Project- or theme-scoped asset groups with card or row views
- Commercial license warnings when adding non-commercial assets
- Per-entry audio trim — same source, multiple trim ranges
- Export with Unity, Unreal, Godot, or custom presets
- Analyze compatibility, decide conversions, run background export with progress

Built-in production tools
Batch Image Convert
PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, TGA, DDS, BMP — resize modes, quality, analyze-before-convert
Batch 3D Convert
OBJ, FBX, GLTF/GLB, STL, DAE, BLEND, and more — format-loss warnings
Batch Audio Convert
FFmpeg-backed WAV, FLAC, MP3, OGG, Opus, AAC, and multichannel-aware warnings
Video Trim
Timeline scrub, in/out, split clips, undo/redo, FFmpeg export
Duplicate Cleanup
Content-hash scan, group extras, confirm delete with library refresh
Sandboxed addons
Community and studio plugins extend ScarCore without source access — importers, converters, and batch tools in a WASM sandbox.
Importer
New file extensions: detect type, metadata, thumbnails
Converter
New format paths for tools and collection export
Tool
New batch tools in the Tools page
- Plugins run in a WASM sandbox
- No filesystem or network by default — only manifest-declared permissions
- Host clamps timeouts and memory; thumbnails re-encoded by the host
- Safe Mode deactivates all addon capabilities
AI tagging
Automatically generate tags and descriptions for images, textures, 3D previews, and audio after import. Feeds both human search and the MCP semantic index.

Marketplace sync
Pull purchased packs into the library as staged assets, then finish import into the game engine of choice. Auth is local-session based — you initiate login under Settings → Marketplace.

FAQ
Does ScarCore require a cloud account?
No. Core library use is fully local. Marketplace login and cloud AI tagging are optional integrations you control.
Is the MCP server safe?
It is read-only by design — it does not modify your ScarCore database or your assets. You can turn agent access on or off anytime in Settings → Advanced → Allow MCP server access.
What if the embedding model is unavailable or fails to load?
Semantic search degrades gracefully to keyword and structured filter tools. Agents remain useful without vector search.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows is primary. Linux is planned in a future milestone. The app is Built with Tauri + Rust and a React frontend.
I installed a addon and now the app does not load?
Use Safe Mode to deactivate all addon capabilities. Plugins never get filesystem or network access unless you approve declared permissions at install.
Is in-app AI Search fully available?
Agent hybrid search via scarcore-mcp is implemented today. The dedicated in-app AI Search UI page is the part of the next app milestone and will include the same class of capability.
