The record

Purpose: ROM Manager converts and organizes game ROMs, with an MCP server and optional A2A agent.
Conversion: Its pipeline extracts archives, renames ROMs using known game codes, converts ISO/WBFS images to CHD or RVZ, and cleans up files.
Cue sheets: It can generate missing cue sheets for BIN tracks.
Interfaces: The project provides a CLI, Python API facade, MCP server, and optional agent server with an AG-UI web interface.
RomM integration: The CLI and MCP tools can manage a RomM self-hosted library through its REST API using Basic or OAuth2 authentication.
MCP tools: MCP tools cover conversion, game-code lookup and naming, and RomM resource groups, with tool domains controlled by environment toggles.
Dependencies: Conversion requires external chdman and dolphin-tool binaries, while archive extraction uses 7z or optional archive backends.
Security: The project describes the converter as a local tool that needs no service URL or credentials; RomM features require a configured server URL and credentials or token.
Transport: The MCP server supports stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE transports; the README lists authentication as configurable, with none as the local-tool default.
Destructive operations: Conversion and delete or clean-origin options can remove source files, and the project advises backing up ROMs first.
License: The project is MIT licensed by Knuckles-Team.
Intended use: The project is aimed at managing retro console game ROMs and exposes installation options for CLI/API, MCP, agent, native archive support, or all features.
