01 · Install Better Godot MCP

before you install - you'll need

GODOT_PROJECT_PATH is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add n24q02m-better-godot-mcp -- npx -y @n24q02m/better-godot-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n24q02m-better-godot-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@n24q02m/better-godot-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Limitations (from the README)

- Requires a Godot 4.x project structure; a Godot binary is optional for file operations - 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)
