Godot Lens MCP Server

An MCP server that lets an AI agent ask Godot itself about your project - where a symbol is used, what a method's real signature is, whether an edit compiles, how a scene is wired, and what the game actually printed when it ran. Its 27 documented tools cover gdscript, debug, file, references. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting gaming tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Godot Lens

before you install - you'll need

GODOT_BIN

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pzalutski-pixel-godotlens-mcp -- npx -y godotlens-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pzalutski-pixel-godotlens-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "godotlens-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package godotlens-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.pzalutski-pixel is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Godot Lens can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can check proposed content for errors without writing it to disk, rename a symbol. Refuses when Godot will not rename it, and warns when the name also appears in scene files it cannot update, sync one modified file and return its diagnostics, and sync several at once.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Godot Lens lets an agent do.

Gdscript

16 tools - e.g. Locate a declaration by name. Returns a position the tools below accept directly.; Where a symbol is defined.; Every reference project-wide. On 4.6+ this reparses every .gd file, so it is not cheap.

gdscript_find · gdscript_definition · gdscript_references · gdscript_references_in_file · gdscript_hover · gdscript_symbols…

Debug

8 tools - e.g. Run the project and return what it printed.; Console output from a running game - print, stdout, stderr, and runtime errors with their source location. Drained on each call.; Set breakpoints in a file.

debug_run · debug_output · debug_set_breakpoints · debug_stack_trace · debug_inspect · debug_evaluate…

Scene

2 tools - e.g. Node tree, types, script attachments, unique_name_in_owner flags, exported values, and signal connections.; Checks every connection points at a method that exists.

scene_state · scene_validate

Project

1 tool - e.g. Autoload singletons, input action names, class_name globals, and the main scene, via ProjectSettings.
