## About

Comfy MCP connects AI agents to a local ComfyUI environment through a server built on comfy-cli.

## Key Features

- Run ComfyUI workflows from an AI assistant.
- Use the local installation’s models and workflow capabilities.

## Use Cases

Add model inference or media generation tools to a developer-controlled agent.

## Limitations

The local server and Comfy Cloud MCP have separate setup and compute requirements. A local installation does not imply access to hosted GPU resources.

## MCP Setup

### Prerequisites

- Python/pip; ComfyUI workspace; comfy-cli 1.14.0+.

### Access requirements

- Partner API nodes need the corresponding Comfy API credentials; local diffusion depends on your own runtime and models.

### Client setup

#### Claude Desktop

Transport: `stdio`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "comfy-mcp": {
      "command": "comfy-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

- Install: pip install comfy-mcp "comfy-cli>=1.14.0"
- Run comfy install if you need a workspace, then comfy launch and leave ComfyUI running.

Set COMFY_BIN if the MCP client cannot find the intended comfy executable.

### Environment variables

- `COMFY_BIN (optional path to comfy)`
- `COMFY_API_KEY (partner API nodes)`
