Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:896-966 (handler)

  The handleRunProject method: spawns a Godot process in debug mode with --path, optional scene, captures stdout/stderr, manages active process lifecycle, and returns a success/error response.

  private async handleRunProject(args: any): Promise<ToolResult> {
    args = this.normalizeParameters(args);
  
    if (!args.projectPath) {
      return this.createErrorResponse('Project path is required');

      }
  
      if (this.activeProcess) {
        this.logDebug('Killing existing Godot process before starting a new one');
        this.activeProcess.process.kill();

      const cmdArgs = ['-d', '--path', args.projectPath];
      if (args.scene && this.validatePath(args.scene)) {

        cmdArgs.push(args.scene);
      }
  
      this.logDebug(`Running Godot project: ${args.projectPath}`);
      const process = spawn(this.godotPath!, cmdArgs, { stdio: 'pipe' });

        lines.forEach((line: string) => {
          if (line.trim()) this.logDebug(`[Godot stdout] ${line}`);

          this.activeProcess = null;
        }
      });
  
      this.activeProcess = { process, output, errors };
  
      return this.createSuccessResponse('Godot project started in debug mode. Use get_debug_output to see output.');

• src/index.ts:476-493 (registration)

  Tool registration for 'run_project' with description and inputSchema (projectPath required, scene optional).

  {
    name: 'run_project',
    description: 'Run the Godot project and capture output',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        projectPath: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Path to the Godot project directory',
        },
        scene: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Optional: Specific scene to run',
        },
      },
      required: ['projectPath'],
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:787-789 (registration)

  Switch case dispatching the 'run_project' tool request to handleRunProject.

  case 'run_project':
    result = await this.handleRunProject(request.params.arguments);
    break;
