Locate nodes in Godot scenes by name, type, group, or script to manage scene trees and debug projects.

Instructions

Find nodes across all indexed scenes by name, type, group, or attached script.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameNoNode name to search for
typeNoGodot class name to filter by
groupNoGroup name to filter by
scriptNoScript path to filter by
maxResultsNoMaximum results to return

Implementation Reference

  • The 'find_node' tool registration and handler implementation in 'src/tools/scene-tools.ts', which accepts search parameters and calls the index's 'findNode' method.
