GODOT LLM

Godot LLM: use the model you want inside the editor

Ziva connects the LLM you choose directly to Godot, so it can write GDScript, fix errors, and edit your real project. Start with Ziva's free LLM, choose from 14 hosted models including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, and DeepSeek, or run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio.

Every LLM you can point at your Godot project

One account, one dropdown, no per-provider setup. Switch model between messages - drafting with a cheap one and finishing with a frontier one is the normal way to work.

“Your prompts” is what the lab does with the code Ziva sends it. Zero-retention models keep nothing; the rest hold prompts up to 30 days for abuse monitoring without training on them, and where a lab publishes no policy we say so rather than guess. Ziva stores no project data either way. The free model costs nothing at any tier, and the Hobby plan includes $3 of monthly usage on the rest.

Context, not copy-paste

A Godot LLM that understands your project

In Ziva, your LLM can inspect the project before it answers. That means fewer guessed node paths, fewer incomplete snippets, and changes that fit the game you are building.

grep_code - glob - read

Search your whole Godot project

Ask a question and the LLM finds the relevant scenes, scripts, signals, and node names itself. You do not have to collect files or paste code into a browser chat.

get_scene_tree

Understand your live scene tree

Ziva gives the model the structure of your open scene, so it works with the nodes and paths that are actually in your game instead of guessing.

get_godot_errors

Fix real Godot errors

The LLM can read editor and runtime errors directly, trace them back to your code, and fix the problem without asking you to describe the output.

edit_file - create_file

Make changes you can review and undo

The model edits your Godot files in place and shows you what changed. You can review every edit and undo it like any other project change.

These are four of the tools the agent can call. See the full Godot AI assistant for the whole surface, including scene editing, tilemaps, and art generation.

Bring your own LLM

Use a local LLM or a subscription you already have

Run local models through Ollama or LM Studio for free, with your code and prompts kept on your machine. Or connect Claude Code and Codex over OAuth instead of paying for the same model twice.

01

Connect Claude Code or Codex with OAuth

Sign in with your Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex account and Ziva uses the subscription you already pay for. Your account and usage limits stay yours - on every Ziva plan, including the free one.

02

Or point your own LLM client at the editor

Ziva exposes the whole Godot editor as a Model Context Protocol server. Any MCP-aware client - Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent - gets the same typed tools as the in-editor model, so it can search and edit a large Godot project in place.

Which LLM should you use?

We gave three LLMs the same Godot prompt

One prompt - build a 3D parkour world with three timed races against bots - run unattended through Ziva, scored on the world it produced, how it held a conversation, what it cost, and how long it took.

ModelWorldConversationCostTime
GPT 5.6 Sol6/109/10$2.949.7 min
Kimi K38/107/10$3.1479 min
Claude Fable 57/106/10$1332.5 min

Fable's $13 is what the run cost with prompt caching; at list price the same run bills $46.

Kimi built the better world and took eight times as long to do it; Sol was good enough, fast, and cheap. There is no LLM that wins every task, which is the argument for keeping all of them one dropdown away. Read the full benchmark, with the worlds you can play.

Godot and LLMs, answered

What is the best LLM for Godot?
There is no single winner, which is why Ziva lets you switch. In our one-prompt 3D parkour benchmark, GPT 5.6 Sol was the best all-rounder for game work on speed and cost, Kimi K3 built the better world but took eight times as long, and Claude Fable 5 finished last on our scoring while costing the most. Pick per task: a cheap model for boilerplate GDScript, a frontier model for a refactor that spans your whole project.
Can an LLM write GDScript?
Yes. Every model in Ziva's picker writes GDScript and C#. The difference between a usable answer and a plausible-looking one is context: an LLM in a browser tab is guessing at your node names, while Ziva gives the model tools to read your scripts, search the project, and inspect the live scene tree before it writes a line.
How do I connect an LLM to the Godot editor?
Install the Ziva plugin in Godot 4.2 or later, sign in, and pick a model from the dropdown - there is nothing else to wire up. Ziva includes a free LLM with no API key required. You can also run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio, or use Ziva as an MCP server with Claude Code or Cursor.
Can I use my own LLM API key or ChatGPT and Claude subscription in Godot?
Yes. Ziva can run local LLMs through Ollama or LM Studio and connect to your Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex subscription over OAuth. Bring-your-own LLM options are available on every plan, including the free Hobby tier.
Do LLMs train on my Godot project code?
Not on the models Ziva runs by default. Ziva stores no project data itself, and the model picker labels each LLM's retention policy - zero-data-retention models keep nothing, others hold prompts up to 30 days for abuse monitoring without training on them. Local models keep your code and prompts on your machine. Your code and assets stay your intellectual property either way.
