Backlot — local AI render engine: ComfyUI workflow registry, MCP server, web studio, Blender bridge, and QC suite. Engine half of the ai-director two-session pattern.
View on GitHub ↗A local AI production studio that drives ComfyUI and Blender — controllable by humans (web UI) and by AI agents (MCP), on your own GPU, at $0/generation.
Backlot wraps a running ComfyUI server with a typed engine, a no-build web studio, and an MCP server, so the same capabilities are drivable three ways:
1. Web studio — http://127.0.0.1:8765: prompt → image/video/music, gallery, editing tools, storyboards, an autonomous Director. 2. HTTP API — every feature is an endpoint with a wait flag (POST /api/generate?wait=true returns the finished asset in one call), so other apps and scripts can drive it. 3. MCP server — AI agents (e.g. Claude Code) get listworkflows / runworkflow / directvideo / render3danimation tools and can produce finished videos autonomously.
Backlot is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Comfy Org (ComfyUI) or the Blender Foundation. Names are used descriptively.
