Comfy Pilot

Talk to your ComfyUI workflows. Comfy Pilot gives Claude Code direct access to see, edit, and run your workflows — with an embedded terminal right inside ComfyUI.

Why?

Building ComfyUI workflows means manually searching for nodes, dragging connections, and tweaking values one at a time. With Comfy Pilot, you just describe what you want:

  • "Build me an SDXL workflow with ControlNet" — Claude creates all the nodes, connects them, and sets the parameters
  • "Look at the output and increase the detail" — Claude sees your generated image and adjusts the workflow
  • "Download the FLUX schnell model and set up a workflow for it" — Claude downloads the model and builds a workflow from scratch

No copy-pasting node names. No hunting through menus. Just say what you want.

Installation

CLI (Recommended):

comfy node install comfy-pilot

ComfyUI Manager:

  1. Open ComfyUI
  2. Click Manager → Install Custom Nodes
  3. Search for "Comfy Pilot"
  4. Click Install
  5. Restart ComfyUI

Git Clone:

cd ~/Documents/ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/ConstantineB6/comfy-pilot.git

Claude Code CLI will be installed automatically if not found.

Requirements

  • ComfyUI
  • Python 3.8+

Features

  • MCP Server - Gives Claude Code direct access to view, edit, and run your ComfyUI workflows
  • Embedded Terminal - Full xterm.js terminal running Claude Code right inside ComfyUI
  • Image Viewing - Claude can see outputs from Preview Image and Save Image nodes
  • Graph Editing - Create, delete, move, and connect nodes programmatically

Usage

  1. Restart ComfyUI after installation
  2. The floating Claude Code terminal appears in the top-right corner
  3. The MCP server is automatically configured for Claude Code
  4. Ask Claude to help with your workflow:
    • "What nodes are in my current workflow?"
    • "Add a KSampler node connected to my checkpoint loader"
    • "Look at the preview image and tell me what you see"
    • "Run the workflow up to node 5"

MCP Tools

The MCP server provides these tools to Claude Code:

ToolDescription
get_workflowGet the current workflow from the browser
summarize_workflowHuman-readable workflow summary
get_node_typesSearch available node types with filtering
get_node_infoGet detailed info about a specific node type
get_statusQueue status, system stats, and execution history
runRun workflow (optionally up to a specific node) or interrupt
edit_graphBatch create, delete, move, connect, and configure nodes
view_imageView images from Preview Image / Save Image nodes
search_custom_nodesSearch ComfyUI Manager registry for custom nodes
install_custom_nodeInstall a custom node from the registry
uninstall_custom_nodeUninstall a custom node
update_custom_nodeUpdate a custom node to latest version
download_modelDownload models from Hugging Face, CivitAI, or direct URLs
Example: Creating Nodes
Create a KSampler and connect it to my checkpoint loader

Claude will use edit_graph to:

  1. Create the KSampler node
  2. Connect the MODEL output from CheckpointLoader to KSampler's model input
  3. Position it appropriately in the graph
Example: Viewing Images
Look at the preview image and describe what you see

Claude will use view_image to fetch and analyze the image output.

Example: Downloading Models
Download the FLUX.1 schnell model for me

Claude will use download_model to download from Hugging Face to your ComfyUI models folder. Supports:

  • Hugging Face (including gated models with token auth)
  • CivitAI
  • Direct download URLs

Terminal Controls

  • Drag title bar to move
  • Drag bottom-right corner to resize

Troubleshooting

"Command 'claude' not found"

Install Claude Code CLI:

macOS / Linux / WSL:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Windows (CMD):

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
MCP server not connecting

The plugin auto-configures MCP on startup. Check ComfyUI console for errors, or manually add to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "comfyui": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/comfy-pilot/mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}
Terminal disconnected

Click the ↻ button to reconnect, or check ComfyUI console for errors.
