Better Godot MCP

mcp-name: io.github.n24q02m/better-godot-mcp

Composite MCP server for Godot Engine -- 17 mega-tools for AI-assisted game development

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

Setup

With AI Agent -- copy and send this to your AI agent:

Please set up @n24q02m/better-godot-mcp for me. Follow this guide: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/n24q02m/better-godot-mcp/main/docs/setup-with-agent.md

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
