Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Godotlens MCP Tools (33)
gdscript_status
Check connection status to the Godot LSP server. Returns: connection status, host, and port. Use this to verify Godot editor is running before using other tools. If disconnected, start Godot editor with your project open.
gdscript_definition
Navigate to the definition of a symbol at a given position. Returns: file path and line number where the symbol is defined. IMPORTANT: Uses ZERO-BASED coordinates (editor line 1 = pass line 0). Use when you need to find where a function, variable, or class is defined.
gdscript_references
Find all references to a symbol across the entire project. Returns: list of locations (file, line, character) where the symbol is used. IMPORTANT: Uses ZERO-BASED coordinates. Essential for impact analysis before refactoring: 'What code uses this symbol?'
gdscript_hover
Get type information and documentation for a symbol at a given position. Returns: type signature, documentation string, or description of the symbol. IMPORTANT: Uses ZERO-BASED coordinates. Use to understand what type a variable is, or what a function returns.
