# Comfy MCP

> Comfy Org's own MCP: drive your local ComfyUI, or Comfy Cloud, from an agent.

- **Category:** Model Hubs
- **Vendor:** Comfy Org (official)
- **Pricing:** freemium
- **Verified:** 2026-08-29

## What it does

The official server for ComfyUI, in two connections that speak the same tool surface: a stdio server that drives the ComfyUI on your own machine through comfy-cli, and a hosted endpoint at cloud.comfy.org for people without a GPU. It reads your actual install — custom nodes, installed models, GPU specs — so an agent can tell you a model will not fit before it downloads 20GB, then run the workflow, poll the job and fetch the outputs. For a filmmaker that means local open video models on your own hardware with the vendor's own maintenance behind the server.

## Connect

- Remote endpoint: `https://cloud.comfy.org/mcp`
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http comfy-cloud https://cloud.comfy.org/mcp`
- Local: `pip install comfy-mcp "comfy-cli>=1.14.0" then: claude mcp add comfy-mcp -e COMFY_BIN=/path/to/venv/bin/comfy -- comfy-mcp`

**Auth:** oauth (env `COMFY_API_KEY`) — <https://platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys>

## Field notes

Comfy Org open-sourced the local server on Aug 18 2026; PyPI `comfy-mcp` is at 0.10.0 (tagged Aug 10 2026) and the repo was pushed Aug 28 2026 at 185 stars, so this is the live one. Read the licence before you ship it inside a product: AGPL-3.0-or-later OR Commercial, not the MIT most of this directory carries. The local route is not a one-liner — it needs Python 3.10+, comfy-cli 1.14.0+ on PATH and a ComfyUI workspace, and the server refuses to start against an older comfy-cli. Local runs are free on your own hardware; the partner models (Flux, Ideogram, Kling, Veo, Runway and ~30 others) bill credits and each spend needs explicit confirmation. Cloud is the other half: `https://cloud.comfy.org/mcp` authenticates over OAuth in Claude Code and by X-API-Key header elsewhere, discovery tools are free, generation needs a Comfy Cloud subscription past five complimentary runs. Caveats: it is a stdio subprocess, so it cannot coordinate an external LLM runtime, and pointing it at a remote ComfyUI disables the lifecycle tools (launch/stop/update). The older community `comfyui` entry still works but has not moved since January.
