We present a new general relativistic hydrodynamics code specifically designed to study magneto-rotational, relativistic, stellar core collapse. The code is an extension of an existing (and thoroughly tested) hydrodynamics code, which has been applied in the recent past to study relativistic rotational core collapse. It is based on the conformally-flat approximation of Einstein's field equations and conservative formulations for the magneto-hydrodynamics equations. As a first step towards magneto-rotational core collapse simulations the code assumes a passive (test) magnetic field. The paper is focused on the description of the technical details of the numerical implementation, with emphasis on the magnetic field module. A number of code tests are presented and discussed, along with a representative core collapse simulation.
