hi-godot/godot-ai
Production-grade MCP server and AI tools for the Godot engine. A Snap to install. Totally free and fun.
An MCP server that puts an AI agent inside a live Godot editor session, letting it create nodes, write/hot-reload GDScript, wire signals, and configure materials, animation, and cameras through 46 tools and 120+ operations. It's for Godot developers who want Claude Code, Codex, or similar agents to actually manipulate the editor rather than just generate files for them to paste in.
The auth model is more serious than most local MCP servers: both hops (client→server, server→editor) use independent rotating capabilities, the editor WebSocket is loopback-only, and there's no unauthenticated fallback path. GDScript support is real integration, not text stuffing — scripts are parse-validated, hot-reloaded, and attached automatically, with symbol outlining. Telemetry is opt-out but genuinely minimal (no code, no scene contents, hashed project paths), which is rare to see spelled out this clearly in a README.
C# is second-class: script_create/patch just writes .cs files with no build integration or compiler error reporting, so half the Godot ecosystem gets a worse experience. The Linux startup troubleshooting section is enormous and versioned across multiple past regressions (4.0.2, 4.2.2, 4.2.3) around symlink ownership and Flatpak/Steam sandboxing — that's a lot of accumulated fragility for 'enable a plugin and go.' The security docs admit the capability system doesn't protect against a compromised same-user process and claims no isolation on Windows at all, which matters a lot once you're giving an agent live write access to your project. v3→v4 migration needs a dedicated guide and explicit warnings against extracting a new release over an old install, suggesting upgrades aren't always clean.
