How to Set Up and Use Godot Engine
The Godot MCP Server connects AI coding assistants directly to the Godot 4.x game engine, exposing 42 tools across six categories including file operations, scene manipulation, script editing, project management, asset generation, and interactive visualization. It lets you create nodes, set properties, validate GDScript, run scenes, query the ClassDB, and browse a live force-directed dependency graph — all from natural language inside your AI client. Developers building 2D or 3D games with Godot 4 can use this server to automate repetitive editor tasks and keep an AI agent as a full pair-programmer inside the engine.
Prerequisites
- Node.js LTS installed (nodejs.org)
- Godot 4.x editor installed and a project open
- The 'Godot AI Assistant tools MCP' plugin installed and enabled in Project Settings → Plugins
- An MCP-compatible AI client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or Cline
- npx available on the PATH (included with Node.js)
Install the Godot plugin
Open your Godot 4.x project, go to the AssetLib tab, search for 'mcp', find 'Godot AI Assistant tools MCP', install it, then enable it in Project Settings → Plugins.
Add the MCP server to Claude Desktop
Open Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and add the godot-mcp-server entry. The server runs as a local process using npx.
{
"mcpServers": {
"godot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "godot-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Add the server via Claude Code CLI
If you use Claude Code instead of Claude Desktop, register the server with a single command.
claude mcp add godot -- npx -y godot-mcp-serverRestart both Godot and your AI client
After configuring the MCP server, restart the Godot editor with your project open and restart your AI client so it picks up the new server connection.
Verify connectivity with map_project
In your AI client, ask it to run the map_project tool. This launches a browser-based force-directed graph of your project's scripts and dependencies at localhost:6510, confirming the connection is working.
Godot Engine Examples
Client configuration
Add this block to your claude_desktop_config.json (or equivalent MCP client config) to connect the Godot MCP server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"godot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "godot-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
These prompts work once the Godot editor is open and the plugin is enabled.
- "Create a new KinematicBody2D node called Player with a CollisionShape2D child and attach a basic movement script to it"
- "Read the contents of my Player.gd script and check it for syntax errors"
- "Set the gravity property on my RigidBody3D node named Boulder to 20"
- "Run the current scene and show me the error log"
- "Search the project for all scenes that reference the Enemy script"
- "Generate a simple SVG sprite for a coin and add it to the assets folder"Troubleshooting Godot Engine
AI client says 'godot server not connected' or tools are missing
Make sure the Godot editor is running with a project open and the 'Godot AI Assistant tools MCP' plugin is enabled in Project Settings → Plugins. The plugin must be running for the npx server process to communicate with the engine.
npx -y godot-mcp-server fails to start or times out
Ensure Node.js LTS is installed and npx is on your PATH. Run 'npx -y godot-mcp-server' manually in a terminal to see the raw error output. If the package download fails, check your internet connection or npm registry settings.
Changes made by the AI are not undoable in the Godot editor
The MCP server writes changes directly and does not hook into Godot's undo system. Always commit your project to git before running AI-driven edits so you can recover any unintended changes.
