About Unity MCP

What is Unity MCP: AI-Driven Creativity & Dev Efficiency?

Unity MCP is a server built using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK, designed to bridge AI tools like Claude with Unity projects. It enables developers to leverage AI-driven workflows by providing direct access to project structures, files, and metadata. This integration streamlines creative processes and boosts productivity by automating routine tasks and enhancing collaboration.

How to Use Unity MCP: AI-Driven Creativity & Dev Efficiency?

Get started in two simple ways:

  • Quick Setup with NPX: Run npx unity-mcp@latest to launch the server instantly. Configure Claude by adding the server details to your platform-specific claude_desktop_config.json file.
  • Local Deployment: Clone the repo, install dependencies with bun install, then configure Claude to point to your local build. Adjust paths in the JSON config to match your project directory.

Unity MCP FAQ

FAQ from Unity MCP: AI-Driven Creativity & Dev Efficiency?

Where are logs stored? macOS users find them in ~/Library/Logs/Claude. Other platforms can reference official MCP docs for paths.

Why can’t I access my projects? Ensure Unity is installed, projects are properly configured, and the projects-v1.json file is readable. Check folder permissions for the MCP server.

How do I debug effectively? Use the bundled MCP Inspector tool by running bun run inspector. It provides a browser-based interface to trace requests and responses.

Unity MCP Server

MCP server to connect Claude with Unity projects. Built using the Model Context Protocol SDK.

Features

  • List all Unity projects
  • Get detailed project information
  • Access project structure and files

Installation & Usage

Option 1: Using NPX (Recommended)

You can run this tool directly with npx without installing it:

bash npx unity-mcp@latest

Add this tool as an MCP server in Claude:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

json { "mcpServers": { "unity": { "command": "npx", "args": ["unity-mcp@latest"] } } }

Option 2: Run this project locally

Alternatively, run this project locally by cloning this repo:

bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/unity-mcp.git cd unity-mcp bun install

Then configure Claude to use your local version:

json { "mcpServers": { "unity": { "command": "bun", "args": ["run", "C:\\\Users\\\Artga\\\Code\\\unity-mcp\\\src\\\index.ts"] } } }

Requirements

  • Unity with projects configured
  • Bun runtime

Troubleshooting

Please open an issue if you can't get this MCP working. Here are some tips:

  1. Make sure Unity is installed and you have some projects configured
  2. Check that the unity-mcp server can access the projects-v1.json file
  3. Ensure you have proper permissions for the Unity project directories

This MCP will emit logs to stderr as specified in the MCP spec. On Mac the Claude Desktop app should emit these logs to ~/Library/Logs/Claude. On other platforms you can find logs here.

Development

Setup


# Install dependencies

bun install

# Run the project

bun run src/index.ts

# Type check

bun run typecheck

# Format code

bun run format ```

### Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector).

You can launch the MCP Inspector with this command:

```bash bun run inspector ```

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
