GDScript — 132 Operations for AI Agents

This page is the canonical reference an AI coding agent uses to refactor, query, and analyze GDScript code through the act MCP server. 132 operations available: 58 refactor, 18 query, 42 analysis, 14 verification. Each operation is callable from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or any MCP-compatible agent host. Click any operation for a stable anchor link suitable for citation.

Operation Description
add-export-annotation add @export annotation
add-guard-clause wrap nested block in guard clause (early return)
add-onready-annotation add @onready annotation
add-static-type add static keyword to function
add-type-annotation add type annotation to variable or parameter
connect-signal add signal_name.connect(callable) call
convert-const-to-var convert const to var
convert-from-await convert from await pattern
convert-if-to-match convert if/elif chain to match
convert-match-to-if convert match statement to if/elif
convert-to-await convert to await signal pattern
convert-to-typed-array convert Array to Array[Type] typed array
convert-var-to-const convert var to const
extract-constant extract literal into constant
extract-function extract code block into new function
extract-variable extract expression into variable
extract_function Extract a code selection into a new function — automatically infers parameters, return types, and inserts the call site. Use instead of manually cutting/pasting code. Works without LSP; LSP improves type inference. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
extract_variable Extract an expression into a named variable — inserts the declaration and replaces the expression with the variable name. Works without LSP. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool)]
generate-constructor generate _init() constructor
generate-export-variable generate @export variable
generate-input-function generate _input(event) function
generate-method-stub generate method stub with pass
generate-node-reference generate @onready node reference
generate-null-check generate null check for node reference before access
generate-physics-process-function generate _physics_process(delta) function
generate-process-function generate _process(delta) function
generate-ready-function generate _ready() lifecycle function
generate-resource-preload generate resource preload constant
generate-setter-getter-pair generate property with set/get blocks
generate-signal-declaration generate signal declaration
generate-signal-handler generate signal handler function
generate-state-machine generate _process with enum-based state machine scaffold
generate-test-stub generate test function stub
generate-tween generate create_tween() and tween_property chain
inline Inline a variable, function, or method — replace every usage with its definition body, then remove the original. The inverse of extract. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file inlining. Params: file (string), symbol (string) [, line (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
inline-function inline function call with body
inline-variable inline variable and remove declaration
insert_body Replace a function's implementation body with new code. AST-validated — rejects if the result has parse errors, so you can't accidentally break syntax. Use instead of manual text editing for function rewrites. Params: file (string), symbol (string), code (string) [, commit (bool)]
introduce-constant extract literal into constant
introduce-parameter convert local variable to parameter
introduce-variable extract expression into variable
invert-if-condition invert condition and swap branches
move-to-new-script extract class into new .gd file
move_symbol Move a function, class, or type to a different file and automatically update all imports across the codebase. Use instead of manually cut/paste + fixing imports. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file import updates. Params: file (string), symbol (string), destination (string) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
recipe_run Run a codemod recipe: declarative match → transform → optional verify across modeled grammars. Preview lists matches; apply writes with optional E7 receipts and all-or-nothing rollback. Returns a per-site report.
remove-dead-code remove unreachable statements after return
remove-export-annotation remove @export annotation
remove-onready-annotation remove @onready annotation
remove-static-type remove static keyword from function
remove-type-annotation remove type annotation
remove-unused-variable remove variable declaration with no references
rename Rename a symbol and automatically update ALL references across the codebase. Safer and faster than find-and-replace — AST-aware, won't rename strings or comments. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file renames. Params: file (string), old_name (string), new_name (string) [, line (u32), column (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
rename-class-name rename class_name declaration
rename-function rename function and update call sites
rename-identifier rename identifier across all references
rename-signal rename signal and update connections
simplify-boolean-expression simplify redundant boolean logic
simplify-string-concatenation consolidate string concatenation of adjacent string literals
