🏴 Ultra Godot MCP

"Technique is a compositive or destructive activity, violent, and this is what Aristotle called poiesis, poetry, precisely." — Gustavo Bueno

Ultra Godot MCP — Plus Ultra: go beyond.

MCP server for Godot Engine that allows AIs and assistants to control projects directly: create scenes, manipulate nodes, manage resources, and validate code, all without opening the editor.

✨ Features

| Feature | Description | |---|---| | 🔍 Native TSCN parsing | Reads and writes .tscn files directly, no Godot headless | | 🛠️ 42 tools | Scenes, nodes, resources, scripts, signals, validation, and debug | | 🎯 Unified inspector | set_node_properties handles ALL property types automatically | | 🔄 In-memory sessions | Workspace with dirty tracking, lazy loading, and LRU cache | | 🛡️ Poka-Yoke validation | Prevents errors before writing files | | 🔎 Fuzzy search | Finds nodes tolerating typos with fuzzywuzzy | | 📦 Templates | Generates node structures and GDScript boilerplate from templates | | 🐛 Debug | 2 tools that require Godot installed (the rest work without it) |

🏆 Why Ultra Godot MCP?

Speed: direct composition vs. intermediation

The main difference: other MCPs launch godot --headless --script per operation (2-5s overhead). Ultra Godot MCP reads and writes .tscn directly with its native parser — milliseconds.

| Operation | godot-mcp (3.1k⭐) | GoPeak (125⭐) | Ultra Godot MCP | |---|---|---|---| | Read scene | ~2-5s (Godot headless) | ~2-5s (Godot headless) | <10ms (native parser) | | Add node | ~2-5s | ~2-5s | <5ms | | Validate project | ~10-30s | ~10-30s | <500ms |

Full comparison

| Dimension | godot-mcp | GoPeak | tugcantopaloglu/godot-mcp | gdai-mcp | Ultra Godot MCP | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Tools | ~15 | 95+ | 149 | ~12 | 42 | | Parsing | Godot headless | Godot headless | Godot headless | Godot plugin | Native Python | | Speed | Slow (2-5s/op) | Slow (2-5s/op) | Slow (2-5s/op) | Medium | <10ms | | No Godot required | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | In-memory sessions | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | LRU Cache | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | Poka-Yoke validation | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | Fuzzy search | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | Templates | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |

Note: GoPeak and tugcantopaloglu have more tools in raw numbers, but each operation requires launching Godot headless. Ultra Godot MCP prioritizes speed: 42 tools (40 without Godot + 2 debug that require it).

What we have and they don't: Native parser, in-memory sessions, LRU cache, Poka-Yoke validation, fuzzy search, templates.

What they have and we don't: LSP (GDScript autocompletion), DAP (breakpoint debugger), runtime inspection, screenshots/input injection, asset library, project visualizer.

📥 Installation

From PyPI (coming soon)

pip install godot-mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/lenin-iberofono/godot-mcp.git
cd godot-mcp

pip install -e .
# Or with dev dependencies:
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Godot 4.6+ (optional, only for debug tools)

🚀 Quick Start

1. Start the server

godot-mcp
# Or as module:
python -m godot_mcp.server

2. Configure in your MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "godot": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "godot_mcp.server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/godot-project"
    }
  }
}

3. Use with your AI assistant

→ "Create a Player scene with CharacterBody2D, CollisionShape2D, and Sprite2D"
→ "Add a movement script to the player"
→ "Connect the body_entered signal from Area2D to the player"
→ "Validate that all project scenes are correct"
