Error: No active Godot process

[Bit-Shine]

I Got the error in Cline with Godot 4.4.1, and already set GODOT_PATH.
Error:
No active Godot process.

Possible solutions:

• Use run_project to start a Godot project first
• Check if the Godot process crashed unexpectedly

The process name is godot engine, not godot.

I had the same problem. Nobody mentioned this for some reason but you have to install godot first...

You can also add GODOT_PATH to your "env" in the mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "godot": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/godot-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "true",
        "GODOT_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/Godot_v4.x.x-stable_win64.exe"
      }
    }
  }
}
