# Comfy MCP Server

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/@lalanikarim/comfyui-mcp)](https://smithery.ai/server/@lalanikarim/comfyui-mcp)

> MCP server for comprehensive ComfyUI workflow automation, management, and image generation.

## Overview

This server provides Claude Code (and other MCP clients) with full access to ComfyUI capabilities:

- **System monitoring**: Check server health, queue status, and history
- **Workflow execution**: Run saved workflows or execute custom workflow dicts
- **Workflow management**: Create, modify, save, and validate workflows
- **Node discovery**: List available nodes, models, and their parameters
- **Image generation**: Simple prompt-based generation or full workflow control

## Prerequisites

- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) - Python package manager
- Running ComfyUI server (local or remote)
- Workflow files exported from ComfyUI (API format)

## Installation

```bash

## Workflow Formats

ComfyUI uses two workflow formats. Understanding the difference is critical:

| Format | Structure | Use Case | Directory |
|--------|-----------|----------|-----------|
| **API** | `{"node_id": {"class_type": "...", "inputs": {...}}}` | MCP execution, automation | `workflows-api/` |
| **UI** | `{"nodes": [...], "links": [...], "version": ...}` | ComfyUI editor only | `workflows-ui/` |

**IMPORTANT**:
- Only **API format** workflows can be executed via MCP (`run_workflow()`, `execute_workflow()`)
- **UI format** workflows are for loading/editing in the ComfyUI web editor
- The MCP server will reject UI format workflows with an error if you try to execute them

### Format Detection

The server automatically detects format by checking for `"nodes"` or `"version"` keys (UI format) vs `"class_type"` keys (API format).

## Creating, Validating, and Saving Workflows

### Recommended Workflow Process

```python
# 1. CREATE: Start with empty workflow or template
wf = create_workflow()
# Or use a template:
wf = get_workflow_template("fal-flux-dev")

# 2. BUILD: Add nodes with explicit connections
wf = add_node(wf, "1", "LoadImage", {"image": "input.jpg"})
wf = add_node(wf, "2", "LumaImageToVideoNode", {
    "prompt": "smooth camera motion",
    "model": "ray-2",
    "first_image": ["1", 0],  # Connect to node "1", output index 0
    "resolution": "1080p",
    "duration": "5s"
})
wf = add_node(wf, "3", "SaveVideo_fal", {
    "videos": ["2", 0],
    "filename_prefix": "output"
})

# 3. VALIDATE: Check structure and node types before saving
validation = validate_workflow(wf)
# Returns: {"valid": true/false, "errors": [...], "warnings": [...]}

# 4. SAVE: Choose format based on purpose
# For MCP execution (API format):
save_workflow(wf, "my-workflow", format="api")  # → workflows-api/my-workflow.json

# For ComfyUI editor (UI format):
save_workflow(wf, "my-workflow", format="ui")   # → workflows-ui/my-workflow.json
```

### Node Connections

Connections use the format `["source_node_id", output_index]`:

```python
# Connect node "1" output slot 0 to this input
wf = add_node(wf, "2", "CLIPTextEncode", {
    "text": "my prompt",
    "clip": ["1", 0]  # ← Connection to node "1", first output
})
```

### Discovering Node Parameters

Before adding a node, check its required inputs:

```python
# Find available nodes
nodes = list_nodes(filter="Luma")  # → ["LumaImageToVideoNode", ...]

# Get node details
info = get_node_info("LumaImageToVideoNode")
# Returns:
# {
#   "input": {
#     "required": {
#       "prompt": ["STRING", {...}],
#       "model": [["ray-2", "ray-flash-2"], {...}],
#       "first_image": ["IMAGE"],
#       ...
#     },
#     "optional": {...}
#   },
#   "output": ["VIDEO"],
#   ...
# }
```

### Validation Errors

Common validation issues:

| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `Unknown node type` | Node class doesn't exist | Use `list_nodes()` to find correct name |
| `Missing required input` | Required input not provided | Check `get_node_info()` for required inputs |
| `Invalid connection` | Source node/output doesn't exist | Verify node IDs and output indices |
| `UI format detected` | Trying to execute UI format | Use API format or re-export from ComfyUI |

## Usage Examples

### Simple Image Generation

```python
# Using default workflow configuration
result = generate_image("a cyberpunk city at sunset")
```

### Run a Named Workflow

```python
# Execute saved workflow with custom inputs
result = run_workflow(
    "flux-dev.json",
    inputs={"6": {"text": "a forest landscape"}},
    output_node_id="9"
)
```

### Build and Execute Custom Workflow

```python
# 1. Create empty workflow
wf = create_workflow()

# 2. Add nodes
wf = add_node(wf, "1", "CheckpointLoaderSimple", {
    "ckpt_name": "flux-dev.safetensors"
})
wf = add_node(wf, "2", "CLIPTextEncode", {
    "text": "beautiful sunset over mountains",
    "clip": ["1", 1]  # Connect to checkpoint's CLIP output
})
wf = add_node(wf, "3", "KSampler", {
    "model": ["1", 0],
    "positive": ["2", 0],
    # ... other inputs
})

# 3. Validate before execution
validation = validate_workflow(wf)
if not validation.get("valid"):
    print(f"Errors: {validation.get('errors')}")

# 4. Execute
result = execute_workflow(wf, output_node_id="9")
```

### Async Workflow Submission

```python
# Submit without waiting
submission = submit_workflow(workflow)
prompt_id = submission["prompt_id"]

# Check status later
status = get_prompt_status(prompt_id)

# Get result when ready
if status["completed"]:
    image = get_result_image(prompt_id, "9")
```

### Discover Available Nodes

```python
# List all fal.ai nodes
nodes = list_nodes(filter="fal")

# Get details about a specific node
info = get_node_info("RemoteCheckpointLoader_fal")
```

### Using fal.ai Connector

The [ComfyUI-fal-Connector](https://github.com/badayvedat/ComfyUI-fal-Connector) enables cloud GPU inference via fal.ai.

```python
# 1. Verify fal.ai extension is loaded
extensions = list_extensions()
# Should include "ComfyUI-fal-Connector"

# 2. List available fal.ai nodes
fal_nodes = list_nodes(filter="fal")
# Returns: ["RemoteCheckpointLoader_fal", "StringInput_fal", "SaveImage_fal", ...]

# 3. Get node details
info = get_node_info("RemoteCheckpointLoader_fal")
# Shows available checkpoints: flux-dev, flux-schnell, sd3.5-large, etc.

# 4. Build a fal.ai workflow
wf = create_workflow()
wf = add_node(wf, "1", "RemoteCheckpointLoader_fal", {
    "ckpt_name": "flux-dev"
})
wf = add_node(wf, "2", "StringInput_fal", {
    "text": "a futuristic city at sunset, cyberpunk style"
})
wf = add_node(wf, "3", "CLIPTextEncode", {
    "text": ["2", 0],
    "clip": ["1", 1]
})
# ... add sampler, VAE decode, save image nodes

# 5. Execute on fal.ai cloud GPUs
result = execute_workflow(wf, output_node_id="9")
```

**Environment Setup:**
```bash
export FAL_KEY=your-fal-api-key
```
