MCP Unity Editor Server

Content

MCP Unity Editor Server connects MCP-capable AI clients to the Unity Editor through a two-part bridge: a Node.js stdio MCP server and a Unity Editor WebSocket server. The project lets Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and other compatible clients inspect Unity project state and run editor operations without manually clicking through the Unity interface.

The server registers tools for menu items, GameObject selection and transforms, component updates, package installation, scene creation and loading, prefab and material workflows, test execution, console logs, and batch execution. It also registers MCP resources for menu items, scene hierarchy, GameObjects, logs, packages, assets, and tests, plus a GameObject-handling prompt.

These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-06. Prefer the live repository, README, Unity package manifest, Node server manifest, stdio server entrypoint, Unity connection layer, Unity WebSocket bridge, and license file for current install paths, client configuration, tools, resources, host/port behavior, version compatibility, and licensing.

Features

• Unity Package Manager install path from the repository git URL.
• Node.js stdio MCP server that connects to the Unity Editor bridge.
• Unity-side WebSocket server with default localhost binding and configurable port/host behavior.
• Tools for creating, loading, saving, unloading, and deleting scenes.
• Tools for selecting, creating, updating, duplicating, deleting, reparenting, moving, rotating, scaling, and inspecting GameObjects.
• Component, prefab, package, material, console-log, test-runner, and menu-item operations.
• Batch execution for multi-step Unity operations in a single MCP call.
• Resources for menu items, scene hierarchy, GameObjects, console logs, packages, assets, and Unity tests.
• Client configuration guidance for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and other MCP hosts.
• MIT license.

Installation

Install the Unity package through Unity Package Manager with the repository URL:

https://github.com/CoderGamester/mcp-unity.git

Open the Unity Editor, then use:

Tools > MCP Unity > Server Window

Use the server window to configure the target MCP client and start the Unity WebSocket server. The generated client config points to the package cache path for the Node.js MCP server, for example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-unity": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["Library/PackageCache/com.gamelovers.mcp-unity@<hash>/Server~/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Re-run the configure step after updating the Unity package because the package cache hash can change.

Use Cases

• Prototype a Unity scene layout from a natural-language prompt.
• Inspect the active scene hierarchy, selected GameObjects, components, assets, package lists, test lists, or console logs before editing.
• Add or update GameObjects, transforms, materials, prefabs, and components.
• Run Unity edit-mode tests and inspect failures from the MCP client.
• Execute Unity menu items or custom editor automation exposed by the project.
• Batch scene and asset changes during prototyping, then review them in Unity and version control.

Safety and Privacy

MCP Unity Editor Server gives an agent direct control over a live Unity Editor project. Use it with version control and start in a disposable scene or branch. Review scene, prefab, material, package, and script changes before committing them. Be especially cautious with execute_menu_item, add_package, batch_execute, scene deletion, GameObject deletion, and any custom editor scripts that can run project-specific logic.

The Unity bridge exposes project structure, asset names, package lists, tests, console logs, stack traces, scene hierarchy, and GameObject details. Treat that data as source code and proprietary design information. Keep remote connections disabled unless they are intentionally required, and avoid exposing the WebSocket port outside trusted development machines.

Duplicate Check

Existing content includes the separate CoplayDev Unity MCP Server entry. No CoderGamester/mcp-unity, com.gamelovers.mcp-unity, or io.github.codergamester/mcp-unity entry was found in content/mcp. This entry is distinct because it documents CoderGamester's Unity Package Manager package, Node stdio server, Unity WebSocket bridge, tool/resource registry, client configuration flow, and package-cache setup.
