GODOT_HOSTNoOverride the host used to reach the Godot editor bridge (e.g. for WSL2 or remote setups). Auto-detected when unset.

About Godot MCP

Give your AI assistant eyes and hands in the Godot editor — and a running game it can actually playtest. There are a few Godot MCP servers out there, and most can open a scene and poke at nodes. This one is built around a harder problem: letting an agent verify its own work. Run the game, drive it like a player, observe what actually happened, and prove the change did what it claimed — without you ferrying screenshots and error logs back and forth.
