- AI agents and game development
Why AI agents struggle on game projects, what an operable capability layer changes, and the two ways to work in Stage Engine: Director 1, or an agent of your own over MCP.
- Connect your own agent
Stage Engine ships two MCP servers, so an agent you already use can drive it instead of Director 1. Desktop app for Mac and Windows; external access on paid plans.
- Game development over MCP
What a game project actually looks like when an agent drives it over MCP: what the agent does, what a person still does, and where the honest limits are.
- Making games from Claude Code
Stage Engine speaks MCP, so a terminal agent like Claude Code can drive its Godot capability layer. Desktop app for Mac and Windows. External MCP access is on the paid plans.
- Making games from Cline
Cline speaks MCP and so does Stage Engine, so it can drive the Godot capability layer. Honest about the two bills and what stays in your hands. Mac and Windows.
- Making games from Codex
Stage Engine exposes MCP servers, so a Codex agent can drive its Godot capability layer. The project is a real Godot project you can review and version. Mac and Windows.
- Making games from Cursor
A Stage Engine project is a real Godot project, so Cursor can open it. And Stage Engine speaks MCP, so Cursor can drive its capability layer. Desktop app for Mac and Windows.
- Making games from Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI speaks MCP and so does Stage Engine, so it can drive the Godot capability layer. What reading a whole project does and does not get you.
- Making games from Goose
Goose is an open-source, model-agnostic agent built around MCP. Stage Engine ships MCP servers, so it can sit alongside your other tools. Mac and Windows.
- Making games from OpenCode
OpenCode speaks MCP and so does Stage Engine, so a terminal agent can drive a real Godot project. A desktop app for Mac and Windows, external agent access on paid plans.
- Making games with local LLMs
A locally hosted model can drive Stage Engine through any MCP-capable agent. It does not make the app offline. Here is what stays on your machine and what does not.
- Making games with Ollama, and what that does not buy you
You can drive Stage Engine with an agent backed by Ollama over MCP. Running the model on your machine does not make the app offline — here is exactly what still uses the network.
