Browse & Inspect FiveM Servers

CFXray is a free FiveM server browser and inspector. Paste a CFX join link, join code, or IP address to get a live snapshot of players, resources, queue size, and server performance.

Overview #overview

Enter any server identifier in the search bar and hit Lookup. Results are split across four tabs: a summary, full data, the player list, and installed resources.

Every lookup is saved to your history sidebar. Pin servers you check frequently so they stay at the top.

Lookup #lookup

Start typing a server name and a dropdown will appear with matching results. Use the player count filter to narrow by minimum players, then click any entry to look it up. You can also paste one of these formats directly:

Join link
cfx.re/join/abc123
Full URL, with or without https://
Join code
abc123
The short code from the server browser or a friend's invite.
Direct address
123.456.78.999:12345
IP or hostname with port. Fastest option.

Omit the port and CFXray uses 30120 by default. Some servers are only reachable via direct address.

Shareable links

Every successful lookup updates the page URL. Copy it from the browser bar to share or bookmark a server — anyone who opens it sees the same result.

Result tabs #tabs

Results are split across four tabs. Switching between them is instant.

Overview

Player count, live charts, active jobs, server settings, tags, and a connect button.

Direct Data

Full server details and configuration in one place.

Players

Connected players with display names and ping. Filter by name with the search bar.

Resources

All server mods and scripts, listed alphabetically.

History & pinning #history

Every lookup is saved in the left sidebar. A green dot means the server was online; red means it was unreachable. Click any entry to reload it.

Pinning

Hover any history row to reveal a pin icon. Pinned servers move to the top and are never removed by the Clear button. Clear only removes unpinned entries.

Pin the servers you check regularly. Their status dots update on every lookup, so the sidebar doubles as a live status board.

Auto-refresh #autorefresh

Use the auto control in the top bar to keep the current server updating on a timer. The progress bar shows the countdown to the next refresh.

  • off — manual only (default)
  • 10s — updates every 10 seconds
  • 30s — updates every 30 seconds

The setting persists across sessions. Leave it running for a few minutes and the Overview charts build a live trend.

All shortcuts work from anywhere on the page. on macOS, Ctrl on Windows.

Troubleshooting #troubleshooting

Join code not found

The server may be offline or unlisted. Try searching by name instead.

Server not responding

The server was found but isn't responding. It may be down or restarting.

Players tab is empty

Some servers show a player count but don't share the full player list. This is common on larger roleplay servers. Other tabs still load.

Performance data not showing

Some servers don't share performance data. Player counts and resources still load.

Charts not filling in

Charts need two lookups to start drawing. Run the lookup again, or turn on auto-refresh to build data.

Search suggestions not showing

The server list loads in the background on startup. Wait a few seconds and try again.
