Originally assigned to: @snomiao, @Copilot on GitHub.

Prerequisites

I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits
I have read the documentation and this feature is not already available
This is a single feature request (not multiple features combined)

Problem Statement

Desktop should can be able to open by comfy:// protocol, this enables web pages providing one-click feature to quickly import-comfy-workflows/install custom nodes/insert-customnode-into-current-workflow, it makes browser and comfyui-electron work together seamlessly

Ref: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/protocol

Proposed Solution

learn how to add protocol to system by https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/protocol
Register the comfy:// to system, (also remove the protocol when uninstall)
When ComfyUI launch, parse the URI args startsWith "comfy://"
When comfy://install-custom-node/:nodeId is called, call comfyui-manager module to install the customNode by :nodeId param
When comfy://import/:nodeId is called, call comfyui-manager module to install the customNode by :nodeId param

Potential workflow

Go to registry.comfy.org or any website that hosts CustomNode/workflows/media-resources (e.g. github)
Press "Install This Node" button, or "Import This Workflow" button
and ComfyUI will be launched and prompt user to install/import that customnode/workflow/resources

Impact Level

Hi, @snomiao. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You proposed adding a "comfy://" URI protocol to ComfyUI for one-click installation or import of custom nodes and workflows from web pages.
This feature aims to improve browser integration and user convenience by enabling system-level protocol registration and URI argument parsing.
The suggestion is considered a minor enhancement focused on streamlining custom content management.
There has been no further activity or discussion on this proposal since it was opened.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this feature is still relevant to the latest version of ComfyUI by commenting on this issue.
If I do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
