Godot MCP

Give your AI assistant full access to the Godot editor. Build games faster with Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI - no copy-pasting, no context switching. AI reads, writes, and manipulates your scenes, scripts, nodes, and project settings directly. 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 GDScript.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tomyud1-godot-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "godot-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
