AI search and Find in the Wild features need a free Anthropic API key, fast local search works without one.

So what is it?

ComfyUI Workflow Finder is a desktop tool for people who use ComfyUI, an AI image generation program where you build custom pipelines by connecting nodes together in a visual graph. If you have collected many of these workflow files, this tool helps you search, preview, and organize them instead of hunting through folders by hand. You point the app at the folders where your workflows are saved and it scans and indexes them. From there you can search in plain English, for example typing something like load a video and generate a caption, and it matches workflows based on what kinds of nodes they contain. There is a fast local search mode that works offline using a built in list of node types, and an optional AI powered mode that sends a summary of your workflows to the Claude API for more natural language style matching. A node pack filter checks your installed custom node packages and shows which workflows in your library you can actually run right now, so you are not caught out by a workflow that needs plugins you never installed. You can also preview any workflow as an interactive node graph, with zoom, pan, and wires colored by data type, so you can see its structure before opening it in ComfyUI. A find in the wild feature uses Claude to search sites such as YouTube, CivitAI, GitHub, Reddit, and ComfyHub in real time for publicly shared workflows that match your search, and it tries to surface direct download links when it finds them. Search suggestions, name filter prefixes, and the list of wild search sources are all stored in editable JSON files. The app is written in Python, has no installer, and runs directly as a script. The fast search mode needs nothing extra, while the AI powered features and wild search require a free Anthropic API key set as an environment variable.
