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.

Activate your license with the code from your dashboard. See

Installation for platform notes.

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 but never

deletes or runs commands. 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.
