Godot Docs

Use Context7 to retrieve up-to-date Godot 4.x documentation before implementing unfamiliar APIs.

Workflow

1. Resolve the library ID:

mcp__plugin_context7_context7__resolve-library-id(libraryName="godot")

2. Query for the specific API:

mcp__plugin_context7_context7__query-docs(
  context7CompatibleLibraryId="<id from step 1>",
  query="Timer class autostart one_shot",
  tokens=3000
)

3. Cite the version from the returned docs before using the API.

Common Queries

Topic	Query string
Node lifecycle	"_ready _process _physics_process lifecycle order"
Signal patterns	"signal emit connect callable"
Resource loading	"load preload ResourceLoader"
Scene instantiation	"PackedScene instantiate add_child"
Physics	"CharacterBody3D move_and_slide collision"
Timer	"Timer autostart one_shot timeout"
Tweens	"Tween create_tween PropertyTweener"
Input	"Input is_action_pressed get_axis"
Shader globals	"shader built-in TIME FRAGCOORD UV"
UI anchors	"Control anchor offset set_anchor_and_offset"

When to Use

• Before implementing an API you haven't used in Godot 4.x
• When a method name or signature is uncertain
• When debugging and the error references an unknown built-in
• When the coder/shader/ui/architect skill's example doesn't cover your case
