Features

17 composite mega-tools -- scene, node, script, shader, animation, tilemap, physics, audio, navigation, UI, and more
Full scene control -- create, parse, and modify .tscn files directly without Godot running
GDScript CRUD -- create, read, write, and attach scripts in a single call
Tiered token optimization -- compressed descriptions + on-demand help tool

Status

2026-05-02 -- Architecture stabilization update

Past months saw significant churn around credential handling and the daemon-bridge auto-spawn pattern. This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. As of v<auto>, the architecture is stable: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio.

Apologies for the instability period. If you encountered issues with prior versions, please update to v<auto>+ and follow the current Setup guide -- most prior workarounds are no longer needed.

Configuration

Godot binary is auto-detected from common install locations and PATH. No environment variables are required for basic usage. Optionally set GODOT_PROJECT_PATH and GODOT_PATH to override defaults.

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`GODOT_PROJECT_PATH`	No	-	Default project path (tools also accept `project_path` param)
`GODOT_PATH`	No	Auto-detected	Path to Godot binary

Limitations

Requires Godot 4.x project structure
Scene files (.tscn) are parsed/modified via text manipulation, not Godot's internal API
run/stop/export actions require Godot binary to be installed
Docker mode has limited filesystem access (mount your project directory)

Security

Binary detection -- Multi-path Godot detection (env, PATH, common locations)
Project validation -- Verifies project.godot exists before operations
Cross-platform -- Windows, macOS, Linux path handling
