What is Godot MCP?

Godot MCP is a bridge between AI assistants and the Godot game engine. It allows AI to directly interact with Godot projects - launching the editor, running games, capturing debug output, and managing project assets - through a standardized interface.

How to use Godot MCP?

After installation, your AI assistant can automatically communicate with the MCP server to perform Godot operations. You simply describe what you want to do (like 'run my game' or 'create a new scene'), and the AI handles the technical details.

Use Cases

Perfect for game developers who want AI assistance with: debugging Godot projects, creating new game assets, testing game mechanics, or learning Godot through interactive examples.

Key Features

Editor ControlLaunch and control the Godot editor for specific projects

Project ExecutionRun Godot projects in debug mode and capture output

Scene ManagementCreate scenes, add nodes, and manage game assets programmatically

Asset HandlingLoad sprites/textures and export 3D models as reusable resources

UID ManagementHandle Godot's unique ID system for files (Godot 4.4+)

Pros and Cons

Advantages

Real - time feedback helps AI provide better Godot assistance

No temporary files - clean project structure

Supports both 2D and 3D workflows

Works with existing Godot installations

Limitations

🚀 Godot MCP Server Configuration Guide

The Godot MCP (Magic Command Processor) server is a tool for automating and enhancing the development process of the Godot game engine. With MCP, you can have an AI assistant directly execute complex operations related to Godot projects, such as creating scenes, adding nodes, and exporting resources.

This document will guide you on how to configure and use the Godot MCP server, and provides detailed implementation details and technical support information.

🚀 Quick Start

📦 Installation

Download and Build

Clone the code repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/godot-mcp.git
cd godot-mcp

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the project:

npm run build

After the build is complete, you will find the executable file in the build/ directory.

Configure Environment Variables

GODOT_PATH: Specify the path to the Godot executable (optional).
DEBUG: Set to "true" to enable detailed logging.

💻 Usage Examples

Here are some examples of usage scenarios:

"Start my game project located at /path/to/project"
"Run my Godot project and display any error messages"
"Get the structure information of my Godot project"
"Analyze the structure of my Godot project and provide suggestions"
"Help me debug this error: [Paste error information]"
"Write a character controller script with double jump and wall sliding functions for me"

🔧 Technical Details

Architecture Design

Direct Commands: Simple operations such as starting the editor or getting project information use Godot's built - in CLI commands.
GDScript Scripts: Complex operations (such as creating scenes and adding nodes) are implemented through a single godot_operations.gd script.

Advantages of this architecture:

No temporary files
Simplified code maintenance
Unified error handling
Reduced I/O overhead

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common problems and solutions:

Problem	Solution
Godot not found	Set the `GODOT_PATH` environment variable
Connection issues	Ensure the server is running and restart the AI assistant
Invalid path	Ensure the path points to a directory containing the project.godot file
