Kosinkadink cf55bd58ae Initial RNP/1 client implementation with Tier 3 features
ComfyUI custom-node package that fetches node descriptors from an
RNP/1 (Remote Node Protocol v1) server and exposes them as native V3
nodes inside ComfyUI.

Includes:
- Manifest + capability handshake, ETag-conditional object_info fetch
- Sync execute_remote and async _run_async_polling flows via
  comfy_api_nodes.util.client.poll_op_raw
- Image / mask / audio / video envelope encode + decode
- Presigned upload helper for >8 MiB inputs
- Tier 3:
  * TASK_LOST detection + idempotent resume — survives an RNP server
    restart mid-task
  * SERVER_BUSY / MAINTENANCE 503 envelopes treated as rate limits
    with Retry-After honoring and friendly per-second progress text
  * Out-of-band url_fetch for URI-only output envelopes per the
    descriptor's remote.url_fetch policy
  * Per-poll auth refresh so long-running tasks pick up rotated tokens

Pairs with Comfy-Org/comfy-rnp-server (private) as the reference
server implementation.

ComfyUI custom-node package that fetches node descriptors from an RNP/1 (Remote Node Protocol v1) server and exposes them as native V3 nodes inside ComfyUI.

The reference server lives at Comfy-Org/comfy-rnp-server (private). This client is intentionally provider-agnostic: any server that speaks RNP/1 can publish nodes through it.

Install

Clone into your ComfyUI custom_nodes/ directory:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Comfy-Org/comfy-remote-nodes.git

(The directory name on disk doesn't matter — ComfyUI loads the package via spec_from_file_location, so comfy-remote-nodes/ is fine.)

Configure

Point the extension at one RNP server URL via env var before starting ComfyUI:

export RNP_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9190
python main.py

If RNP_SERVER_URL is unset, the extension registers zero nodes and logs a single line — ComfyUI starts normally with no remote nodes.

What works today

  • Manifest + capability handshake
  • object_info fetch and dynamic V3 class generation (with ETag conditional GETs)
  • Sync execute and async execute_async + poll/cancel
  • Image / mask / audio / video envelope encode + decode
  • Presigned upload helper for >8 MiB inputs
  • Tier 3 (recent):
    • TASK_LOST detection with idempotent resubmission — survives an RNP server restart mid-task without losing the workflow
    • SERVER_BUSY / MAINTENANCE 503 envelopes treated as rate limits with Retry-After honoring and friendly per-second progress text ("Server busy, retrying in 30s...")
    • Out-of-band url_fetch for URI-only output envelopes, driven by the descriptor's remote.url_fetch policy
    • Per-poll auth refresh so long-running tasks can rotate tokens

What does not (yet)

  • validate_inputs / fingerprint_inputs / check_lazy_status — the server returns 501 NOT_IMPLEMENTED; the client falls through to ComfyUI's defaults
  • Multi-server config file (comfy_remote_nodes.yaml or similar) — today's setup is one server per ComfyUI process via env var
  • Streaming execute (server-sent events for incremental previews)
