Common questions
Is ComfyUI Builder safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 12 days ago, and the latest version (2.4.1) reached the registry 9 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase

mcp-comfy-ui-builder
Control ComfyUI from Claude or Cursor — 50+ MCP tools for node discovery, dynamic workflow building, real-time WebSocket execution, and model management. No JSON editing required.
Tell your AI assistant what image to generate — it builds and runs the ComfyUI workflow for you. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
Publishable to the MCP Registry via server.json and mcpName.
What is this
- Knowledge base: Seed
knowledge/base-nodes.jsonandnode-compatibility.jsonfrom bundled data (62 seed nodes; 100–600+ after sync). No external services required for suggest/build. - Sync: Custom packs from ComfyUI-Manager; nodes from running ComfyUI via
sync-nodesCLI or on MCP startup. - MCP server (50+ tools): Node discovery, dynamic workflow builder, 9 templates (txt2img, txt2img_flux, img2img, …), WebSocket real-time execution, batch/chain, model management, plugin system.
- Real-time execution: Sub-second progress via WebSocket with automatic polling fallback; ~90% less network traffic for batch runs.
Install
npm install mcp-comfy-ui-builder
Or from source: git clone https://github.com/MIt9/mcp-comfy-ui-builder.git && cd mcp-comfy-ui-builder && npm install
Quick start
- Build (postbuild fills knowledge from seed)
npm run build
npm run mcp
- Use knowledge in code
import baseNodes from './knowledge/base-nodes.json' assert { type: 'json' };
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
npm run seed | Fill knowledge from seed. Use --force to overwrite. |
npm run sync-manager | Update custom packs list from ComfyUI-Manager |
npm run sync-nodes | Sync nodes from running ComfyUI to knowledge base (requires COMFYUI_HOST) |
npm test | Run tests (vitest) |
npm run mcp | Start MCP server (after npm run build) |

Requirements
- Node.js 18+
MCP Server (Cursor / Claude)
Server provides 50+ tools across 9 categories:
Core Features
Node Discovery:
- list_node_types, get_node_info, check_compatibility, suggest_nodes
- discover_nodes_live, search_nodes, sync_nodes_to_knowledge
Dynamic Workflow Builder:
- create_workflow, add_node, connect_nodes, validate_workflow
- Build workflows programmatically without JSON manipulation
Templates & Macros:
- list_templates, build_workflow — Pre-built templates (txt2img, img2img, inpainting, upscale, LoRA, ControlNet, batch)
- create_template, apply_template — Parameterized templates
- list_macros, insert_macro — Reusable sub-workflows
Real-time execution 📡
- execute_workflow_sync — Execute with WebSocket progress streaming (sub-second updates)
- execute_workflow_stream — Full event history collection (WebSocket-only)
- get_execution_progress — Real-time progress with node-level granularity
- execute_batch — Concurrent execution with 90% reduced network traffic
- execute_chain — Sequential workflows with data passing
Resources & Model Management:
- get_system_resources — GPU/VRAM/RAM + recommendations (max resolution, model size, batch size); call first before building workflows to avoid OOM
- list_models, check_model_exists, get_workflow_models
- Supports checkpoint, lora, vae, controlnet, upscale, embedding, clip
Outputs & Queue:
- list_outputs, download_output, download_all_outputs
- list_queue, interrupt_execution, clear_queue
Plugins:
- list_plugins, reload_plugins — Data-only plugin system
Install (requires COMFYUI_PATH):
- install_custom_node, install_model — Install nodes and models via ComfyUI-Manager
WebSocket features
- <100ms latency for progress updates (vs 1.5s polling)
- Node-level tracking: See exactly which node is executing with progress percentage
- Automatic fallback: Gracefully falls back to polling if WebSocket unavailable
- Shared connection: Single WebSocket for batch/chain execution (90% reduced traffic)
Set COMFYUI_HOST environment variable for execution/model/output tools:
export COMFYUI_HOST="http://localhost:8188"
See doc/MCP-SETUP.md for full tool list and doc/WEBSOCKET-GUIDE.md for real-time features.
Running MCP
From project root, first build the project, then start the server:
npm run build
npm run mcp
Or without npm: node dist/mcp-server.js. Server works via stdio (stdin/stdout). More details → doc/MCP-SETUP.md.
Connect MCP (Cursor / Claude)
What you need: Node.js 18+, one-time build (npm run build), absolute path to dist/mcp-server.js, restart after config change. If the server fails to start with «spawn node ENOENT», use the full path to node in command (run which node and put that path). See doc/MCP-SETUP.md → Troubleshooting.
Minimal config (knowledge and workflow tools only):
{
"mcpServers": { "comfy-ui-builder": { "command": "node", "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp-comfy-ui-builder/dist/mcp-server.js"] } } }
Use full path in command (e.g. "/opt/homebrew/bin/node") if Cursor/IDE reports «spawn node ENOENT».
With ComfyUI execution (execute_workflow, get_execution_status, list_outputs, etc.): add "env": { "COMFYUI_HOST": "http://127.0.0.1:8188" } to the server block. See doc/MCP-SETUP.md for full checklist, optional env vars (COMFYUI_PATH, COMFYUI_KNOWLEDGE_DIR), and troubleshooting.
Publish on GitHub
- Create a new repository on GitHub: name
mcp-comfy-ui-builder, visibility Public (or Private). Do not initialize with README, .gitignore, or license (project already has them). - Add remote and push:
git remote add origin https://github.com/MIt9/mcp-comfy-ui-builder.git
git branch -M main git push -u origin main
- If you fork this repo, replace
MIt9with your GitHub username in the URLs above.
Cursor: Settings → MCP; Claude Desktop: config file ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS). Replace the path with your absolute path to dist/mcp-server.js, then restart the app. Full guide: doc/MCP-SETUP.md.
