# 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:** 2026-10-11 ## What it does The official server for ComfyUI, in two connections that share a vocabulary but not an identical tool list: 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`) — ## Capabilities [text-to-image](https://mcp.film/capabilities/text-to-image.md) · [text-to-video](https://mcp.film/capabilities/text-to-video.md) · [workflow-execution](https://mcp.film/capabilities/workflow-execution.md) · `workflow-authoring` · [local-inference](https://mcp.film/capabilities/local-inference.md) · [model-management](https://mcp.film/capabilities/model-management.md) · `hardware-introspection` · `job-monitoring` ## Sample tools `run_workflow` · `generate_image` · `partner_generate` · `run_template` · `job` · `fetch_outputs` · `validate_workflow` · `search_templates` · `search_models` · `server_info` · `launch_comfyui` · `install_node` ## Field notes Comfy Org open-sourced the local server on Aug 18 2026. Re-checked 11 Oct 2026: the repo is busy — last commit Oct 10, 269 stars, not archived — but PyPI `comfy-mcp` and the newest tag are both still 0.10.0, so `pip install` gets you August's build and the fixes since then only arrive from a source checkout. Main now requires the MCP Python SDK 2.x (`mcp>=2,<3`), which matters if you install it into an environment that pins 1.x. 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 an X-API-Key header (keys start `comfyui-`) for Cursor and headless clients; discovery works on a free Comfy account, but running generations needs an active Comfy Cloud subscription. The cloud tool list is its own — `submit_workflow`, `get_job_status`, batches, saved workflows, shareable app links — rather than a mirror of the local one. 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. ## Alternatives - [ComfyUI MCP](https://mcp.film/mcps/comfyui.md) — Drive a local ComfyUI: 40+ tools for image, video, audio and 3D workflows. - [Hedra MCP (Official)](https://mcp.film/mcps/hedra-official.md) — Hedra's own hosted MCP: one OAuth URL onto its whole image, video and audio catalogue. - [WaveSpeed MCP](https://mcp.film/mcps/wavespeed.md) — WaveSpeed's live image, video, audio and 3D catalogue behind seven tools, hosted or via npx. - [GenMagic MCP](https://mcp.film/mcps/genmagic.md) — One hosted endpoint over 450 models: text-to-video from Veo, Kling, Seedance and Hailuo on one pay-as-you-go balance. - [inference.sh MCP Server](https://mcp.film/mcps/inference-sh.md) — Official hosted hub: run any image, video, audio or 3D app, then poll the task. - [RunAPI MCP Server](https://mcp.film/mcps/runapi.md) — Browse, price, and run 130+ image, video, audio and voice models through one MCP. ## Verification - Status: Freshly checked (13 days old) - Added: 2026-08-29 - Last verified: 2026-10-11 - Machine JSON: https://mcp.film/api/mcps/comfy-mcp.json ## Links - Site: https://comfy.org/?utm_source=mcp.film&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=directory&utm_content=comfy-mcp%3Asite - Docs: https://docs.comfy.org/agent-tools/local?utm_source=mcp.film&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=directory&utm_content=comfy-mcp%3Adocs - Repo: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/comfy-mcp --- Structured data: https://mcp.film/api/mcps/comfy-mcp.json · Directory: https://mcp.film Canonical: https://mcp.film/mcps/comfy-mcp/ Hosted directory MCP: https://mcp.film/mcp
