comfyui-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

Development Notes

Local Testing with npm link

The developer uses npm link so that npx comfyui-mcp resolves to the local build at C:\Users\klutt\code\comfyui-mcp\dist\.

DO NOT modify plugin/.mcp.json to point to a local path. It must stay as:

{
  "comfyui": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "comfyui-mcp"]
  }
}

This works for both:

• Public users: npx downloads from npm
• Developer: npm link makes npx resolve to the local build

After code changes: npm run build then /mcp reconnect in Claude Code.

Plugin File Sync

The plugin runs from cached copies, not the source tree. After changing files in plugin/:

• Cache: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/comfyui-mcp/comfy/0.1.0/
• Marketplace: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/comfyui-mcp/plugin/

Copy changed files to both locations, then restart Claude Code for hooks or /mcp for MCP tools.

Beads Issue Tracker

This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd prime to see full workflow context and commands.

Quick Reference

bd ready              # Find available work
bd show <id>          # View issue details
bd update <id> --claim  # Claim work
bd close <id>         # Complete work

Rules

• Use bd for ALL task tracking — do NOT use TodoWrite, TaskCreate, or markdown TODO lists
• Run bd prime for detailed command reference and session close protocol
• Use bd remember for persistent knowledge — do NOT use MEMORY.md files

Session Completion

When ending a work session, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds.

MANDATORY WORKFLOW:

1. File issues for remaining work - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
2. Run quality gates (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
3. Update issue status - Close finished work, update in-progress items
4. PUSH TO REMOTE - This is MANDATORY:

   git pull --rebase
   bd dolt push
   git push
   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
   

5. Clean up - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
6. Verify - All changes committed AND pushed
7. Hand off - Provide context for next session
