Got a ComfyUI workflow that works well? iNodes turns it into a node you can use in your software like any other model. It runs on your own ComfyUI server, which must stay connected while you generate.
- Your server: the address of your ComfyUI.
- The builder: convert your workflow, then connect it.
The arrow on the right opens your installed workflows: you can validate, export, import or delete them.
The Comfy Bridge chapter explains how it works, how to build a node step by step and what the bridge accepts.
Everything on the screen
1. Link your server
- ComfyUI server
- Enter the address of your ComfyUI, on this computer or on your network, for example http://192.168.1.20:8188. For a remote server, go through a VPN or an SSH tunnel: iNodes only accepts local or private addresses, not a public address or a domain name. "Connected" appears when iNodes reaches it. Hover over this button to disconnect.
- View guide
- Explains how to name the inputs and outputs of your workflow in ComfyUI, and which types are accepted.
2. Create the node
- The two files
- Export the same workflow twice from ComfyUI, in App Mode and in API format, then drop each file in its place.
- Convert
- Reads the two files and prepares the node. iNodes tells you which inputs it cannot keep.
- Config
- Optional. Rename the parameters and choose their type: choice, toggle, number or text.
- Connect
- Available after Convert. Installs the workflow: it becomes a node in your software.
3. Manage your installed workflows
- Validate
- A workflow only becomes active once iNodes has validated it. If you see "Needs validation" or "Modified", click Validate, with an Internet connection.
- Export
- Saves the ticked workflows in a single file, so you can share them.
- Import
- Loads a file of workflows. If some already exist, you choose: overwrite them or import them as a new version.
- Delete
- The trash icon removes the ticked workflows from this computer, after confirmation.
Good to know
- In the Models tab
- Your workflows have their own group there. If one is missing from your software, check that it is ticked, then click Apply.
- Your plan
- Creating workflows stays unlimited. Your plan sets how many reach your software, the number of inputs and outputs per workflow, and access to import and export.
- Your server connected
- ComfyUI must be running when you start a generation from your software.
