Godot DevTool

What it does

Godot DevTool connects AI assistants directly to the Godot 4 engine, allowing them to inspect and manipulate project files, scenes, and scripts without manually opening the editor. It also provides a live bridge for real-time editor interaction and runtime game state manipulation.

Tools

• run_project: Launches the Godot project and captures output.
• get_scene_tree: Returns the node tree for a specific Godot scene.
• update_node_properties: Modifies properties on nodes within a scene.
• plugin_install: Deploys the required WebSocket plugin to the Godot project.
• get_capabilities: Returns a catalog of available tools and their schemas.
• filesystem_read/write: Accesses and modifies project-local files.
