About Godot MCP
Godot MCP is an MCP server that lets AI agents interact with the Godot game engine. It can launch the editor, run projects and capture debug output, giving agents feedback from real project runs. It is aimed at developers building games with Godot.
Key features
- 01Launch the Godot editor for a project
- 02Run projects in debug mode
- 03Capture console output and error messages
- 04Get Godot version and project structure details
- 05Create and edit scenes and nodes
- 06Export 3D scenes as MeshLibrary resources
Use cases
- 01Letting an agent run a Godot project and debug from errors
- 02Generating or modifying scenes and nodes in bulk
- 03Preparing 3D assets for GridMap
MCP support
The server exposes tools over MCP for launching the editor, running projects, reading debug output and managing scenes, which MCP clients can use to let AI agents operate on Godot projects.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with the Godot game engine.
Introduction
Godot MCP enables AI agents to launch the Godot editor, run projects, capture debug output, and control project execution. This direct feedback loop helps agents understand what works and what doesn't in real Godot projects, leading to better code generation and debugging assistance.
Features
- Launch Godot Editor: Open the Godot editor for a specific project
- Run Godot Projects: Execute Godot projects in debug mode
- Capture Debug Output: Retrieve console output and error messages
- Control Execution: Start and stop Godot projects programmatically
- Get Godot Version: Retrieve the installed Godot version
- List Godot Projects: Find Godot projects in a specified directory
- Project Analysis: Get detailed information about project structure
- Scene Management:
- Create new scenes with specified root node types
- Add nodes to existing scenes with customizable properties
- Load sprites and textures into Sprite2D nodes
- Export 3D scenes as MeshLibrary resources for GridMap
- Save scenes with options for creating variants
- UID Management (for Godot 4.4+):
- Get UID for specific files
- Update UID references by resaving resources
Requirements
- Godot Engine installed on your system
- Node.js (>=18.0.0) and npm
- An AI agent that supports MCP
Quick Start
Claude Code
claude mcp add godot -- npx @coding-solo/godot-mcp
That's it. Restart Claude Code and your Godot MCP tools are available.
With environment variables:
claude mcp add godot -e GODOT_PATH=/path/to/godot -e DEBUG=true -- npx @coding-solo/godot-mcp
Cline
Add to your Cline MCP settings file (~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"godot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@coding-solo/godot-mcp"],
"env": {
"DEBUG": "true"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": [
"launch_editor",
"run_project",
"get_debug_output",
"stop_project",
"get_godot_version",
"list_projects",
"get_project_info",
"create_scene",
"add_node",
"load_sprite",
"export_mesh_library",
"save_scene",
"get_uid",
"update_project_uids"
]
}
}
}
Cursor
Using the Cursor UI:
- Go to Cursor Settings > Features > MCP
- Click on the + Add New MCP Server button
- Fill out the form:
- Name:
godot - Type:
command - Command:
npx @coding-solo/godot-mcp
- Name:
- Click "Add"
- You may need to press the refresh button in the top right corner of the MCP server card to populate the tool list
Using Project-Specific Configuration:
Create a file at .cursor/mcp.json in your project directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"godot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@coding-solo/godot-mcp"],
"env": {
"DEBUG": "true"
}
}
}
}
Other MCP Clients
For any MCP-compatible client, use this configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"godot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@coding-solo/godot-mcp"],
"env": {
"GODOT_PATH": "/path/to/godot",
"DEBUG": "true"
}
}
}
}
Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
GODOT_PATH | Path to the Godot executable (overrides automatic detection) |
DEBUG | Set to "true" to enable detailed server-side debug logging |
Building from Source
git clone https://github.com/Coding-Solo/godot-mcp.git
cd godot-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Then point your MCP client to build/index.js instead of using npx.
Architecture
The Godot MCP server uses a bundled GDScript approach for complex operations:
- Direct Commands: Simple operations like launching the editor or getting project info use Godot's built-in CLI commands directly.
- Bundled Operations Script: Complex operations like creating scenes or adding nodes use a single, comprehensive GDScript file (
godot_operations.gd) that handles all operations.
The bundled script accepts operation type and parameters as JSON, allowing for flexible and dynamic operation execution without generating temporary files for each operation.
Troubleshooting
- Godot Not Found: Set the
GODOT_PATHenvironment variable to your Godot executable path - Connection Issues: Ensure the server is running and restart your AI assistant
- Invalid Project Path: Ensure the path points to a directory containing a
project.godotfile - Build Issues: Make sure all dependencies are installed by running
npm install
Cursor-Specific Issues
- Ensure the MCP server shows up and is enabled in Cursor settings (Settings > MCP)
- MCP tools can only be run using the Agent chat profile (Cursor Pro or Business subscription)
- Use "Yolo Mode" to automatically run MCP tool requests

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
