godot_find_projectFind the Godot project root by searching for project.godot.godot_list_projectsList every Godot project under the MCP sandbox directory. Use this when the MCP process cwd is not inside a project or you need to pick among several games. Returns: workspace root and a list of {root, name} for each project.godot foundgodot_get_workspaceReturn the sandbox directory for this server. Every project path, write, and Asset Library download must stay under this tree unless you change GODOT_MCP_ROOT and restart the server. Returns: Absolute workspace path and configuration hintsgodot_create_projectCreate a Godot project under the MCP workspace: writes project.godot and a starter .tscn (what the Project Manager also creates on disk).
