Getting started

Connect your AI client to a Godot project in a few minutes.

Godot MCP Studio is a small desktop app that connects your AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and others) to your Godot project through a local MCP server. Here's the whole flow, start to finish.

1. Install the desktop app

Download Godot MCP Studio from the download page and open it. Lite is free and needs no license. For Pro, activate your license with the code from your dashboard. See Installation for platform notes and Editions & pricing to compare the two.

2. Pick your Godot project

The app detects your project by its project.godot file and shows the project name. The full path lives under Advanced.

3. Install the editor addon

Click Install addon. This copies the Godot MCP Studio dock into addons/godot_mcp_studio/ in your project. Enable it in Godot under Project → Project Settings → Plugins.

4. Generate your AI client config

Choose your client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, …) and copy the generated MCP configuration. Godot MCP Studio can also write AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md into your project so your AI knows the house rules. Full walkthrough: Connect your AI client.

5. Choose a permission mode

Start in Safe Edit if you're unsure: it can create and edit, and asks before destructive actions or running code. See Permission modes.

6. Test the connection

Press Test connection. When Godot is open with the addon enabled, live tools like get_scene_tree work. You're ready to build.
