Field notes

Superseded on Aug 18 2026, when Comfy Org open-sourced its own local MCP — start at `comfy-mcp` and come here only if you want the Docker-image install or the 70+ bundled workflows. MIT; the ghcr.io/shawnrushefsky/comfyui-mcp:latest image is published and still runs. Caveat: nothing has moved since Jan 28 2026 — re-checked 11 Oct 2026, still no commits since, the README's Docker install is unchanged and carries no deprecation notice — at 18 stars, so newer ComfyUI node packs may outrun its bundled workflows. On Linux swap host.docker.internal for --network=host. Other alternatives: artokun/comfyui-mcp (Claude Code plugin with slash commands/skills) and joenorton/comfyui-mcp-server (lightweight Python). Requires you to run ComfyUI yourself.
