comfyui-mcp — drive ComfyUI with ANY LLM

The local-first, agent-native control plane for ComfyUI — an MCP server + live sidebar agent that generates images, video and audio, authors and runs workflows, manages models and custom nodes, and edits your live ComfyUI graph in natural language. Bring whatever model you have: Claude or ChatGPT on your subscription, Gemini on your Google login, a free local model via Ollama (fully offline), or any hosted model over one API key (DeepSeek, GLM, MiMo, Kimi, GPT, Claude via OpenRouter). Same tools, same panel, every tier — and the built-in LLM Arena scores them all on real ComfyUI tasks so you know exactly what your model can do. One config targets local installs, LAN, VPS, or Comfy Cloud.

 One-click GPU pod — a ready-to-run ComfyUI with this project + Agent Panel + ComfyUI-Manager v2 preinstalled, on your own GPU. No setup.

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Auto-detects your ComfyUI installation and port.

108 MCP tools | 32 AI skills (Flux · WAN · LTX 2.3 video · Qwen · Z-Image · Ideogram 4 · ERNIE · ANIMA · model registry · Civitai · node authoring · launch/perf flags) | 13 installer packs | 11 slash commands | 4 autonomous agents | 4 hooks

The plugin ships expert skills that grow with every release — model-specific generation guides with curated download URLs, workflow recipes, troubleshooting, and custom-node authoring — so Claude knows the right sampler, CFG, resolution, and model files for each architecture without trial and error.

✅ Now available: the ComfyUI Agent Panel on ComfyUI-Manager & the Comfy Registry

An autonomous AI agent in your ComfyUI sidebar — on Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or ANY local/hosted LLM (Ollama and every OpenAI-compatible endpoint). Subscriptions work with no API key; local models work with no account at all. Pick a provider and it drives your live graph: edits, spatial layout, one-shot workflow/pack loads, rewind/rollback, a pending-message tray, activity cards, multi-tab — and it asks before spending paid API credits.

Quick Start

1. Install ComfyUI (if you haven't already): ComfyUI Desktop or from source

2. Add the MCP server to your Claude Code config (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "comfyui": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "comfyui-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CIVITAI_API_TOKEN": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start using it. With ComfyUI running, ask Claude to generate an image:

> Generate an image of a sunset over mountains

Claude will find (or download) a checkpoint, build a workflow, execute it, and return the image.

Note: This runs as a standalone MCP server — no need to clone this repo. npx will download and run it automatically.

Scope: local, remote, or Comfy Cloud

comfyui-mcp is local-first: a self-hosted ComfyUI on Mac/Linux/Windows is the primary target, with the same agent reaching remote installs (RunPod, VPS, LAN, reverse-proxied) from one config. Local-first, not local-only.

More than a bridge. Most ComfyUI MCP servers are thin connectors — they forward a prompt and hand back an image. comfyui-mcp is a full control plane: it authors and edits the graph node-by-node, runs and iterates on workflows, manages models and custom nodes, and ships model-specific expertise (samplers, CFG, resolutions, curated model URLs) so the agent gets it right without trial and error. If you want a minimal local relay, a lightweight server is fine; if you want an agent that actually operates ComfyUI, that's this project.

For Comfy Cloud users, Comfy-Org ships an official Comfy Cloud MCP (currently invite-only beta) which is cloud-exclusive and maintained by the Comfy team. comfyui-mcp also includes a community cloud-mode (set COMFYUI_API_KEY — see Deployment modes) so a single MCP can target all three deployment shapes from one config; pick whichever fits your workflow.

Remote / hosted connector (one command)

Want to use comfyui-mcp from Claude Desktop's Custom Connectors or any remote client — like Comfy's own cloud.comfy.org/mcp connector? Run it as an authenticated, publicly-reachable Streamable-HTTP server with one flag:

npx -y comfyui-mcp@latest --tunnel

This forces the HTTP transport, generates an auth token, opens a cloudflared quick tunnel, and prints a ready-to-paste https://…/mcp URL + token + Claude Desktop connector snippet. Auth accepts Authorization: Bearer <token> or X-API-Key: <token> (matching Comfy Cloud's convention). See the Remote / hosted connector guide for the full walkthrough and headless usage.

Auth is opt-in: with no COMFYUI_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN set and no --tunnel, the default stdio (and plain --http on loopback) behavior is unchanged — open and local. OAuth (Comfy's browser sign-in flow) is a planned follow-up.

Claude Code Plugin

This package also ships as a Claude Code plugin, providing slash commands, skills, agents, and hooks on top of the MCP tools.

Built-in skills

32 skills total — model-family guides (Flux, WAN, LTX 2.3, Qwen, Z-Image, Ideogram 4, ERNIE, ANIMA + anime / WAN / Z-Image LoRA training), the model-registry (curated download URLs), the civitai pairing skill, node authoring, the launch/performance-flags matrix, and the core four below. Full list on the plugin docs page.

Installer packs. packs/ bundles 13 one-command ComfyUI setups — ANIMA, Ideogram 4, LTX-2.3, ERNIE, WAN (animate / longer-videos / transparent), Qwen (image / image-edit), Z-Image (turbo / base / xy-plot) and artokun-flow (WAN Animate — replace / animate). Each is a manifest of custom nodes + model URLs + workflow that drives both apply_manifest and generated install-windows.bat / install-runpod.sh, with CI that validates every model link + payload size. See packs/README.md.
