defold-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to integrate the Defold game engine with modern developer tools and AI-powered workflows.
defold-mcp is a pioneering open-source MCP server that aims to enhance the Defold game engine by integrating it with modern developer tools and AI workflows. It provides a comprehensive set of tools to automate, inspect, and manage Defold projects programmatically. This server allows developers to launch and debug projects, generate and edit Lua scripts, manage project settings, and enable hot-reloading and real-time analytics. It is designed to work seamlessly on Apple Silicon Macs and supports environment configuration via `.env` files. The server is extensible, allowing developers to improve and adapt it for new workflows. defold-mcp is particularly useful for developers looking to integrate AI-assisted game development tools like Cursor.
