Security

The plugin runs the Claude Code CLI as a PTY process inside ComfyUI and exposes tools that can edit workflows, install custom nodes, and download models to your machine. The MCP server runs locally over stdio with no authentication; only use it with a ComfyUI instance you trust. The download_model tool can fetch gated Hugging Face models using a token if provided.

Comfy Pilot + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Comfy Pilot config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Comfy Pilot safe to use with Cursor?

The plugin runs the Claude Code CLI as a PTY process inside ComfyUI and exposes tools that can edit workflows, install custom nodes, and download models to your machine. The MCP server runs locally over stdio with no authentication; only use it with a ComfyUI instance you trust. The download_model tool can fetch gated Hugging Face models using a token if provided.

How do I install it?

Use the ComfyUI CLI with `comfy node install comfy-pilot`, install via ComfyUI Manager by searching for "Comfy Pilot", or git clone the repo into ComfyUI's custom_nodes folder. Restart ComfyUI afterward.

Do I need to configure the MCP server manually?

No. The plugin auto-configures MCP for Claude Code on startup. If it isn't connecting, you can manually add the comfyui server to ~/.claude.json with command python3 and args pointing to mcp_server.py.

The terminal says 'Command claude not found'. What do I do?

Install the Claude Code CLI. On macOS/Linux/WSL run `curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash`; on Windows use the PowerShell or CMD installer from claude.ai.
