Unity MCP is an AI-powered game development assistant for Editor & Runtime. Connect Claude, Cursor, & Windsurf to Unity via MCP. Automate workflows, generate code, and enable AI within your games.

Unlike other tools, this plugin works inside your compiled game, allowing for real-time AI debugging and player-AI interaction.

OR use cli

# 1. Install unity-mcp-cli
npm install -g unity-mcp-cli

# 2. Install "AI Game Developer" in Unity project
unity-mcp-cli install-plugin ./MyUnityProject

# 3. Sign in to ai-game.dev (opens your browser — OAuth device flow)
unity-mcp-cli login

# 4. Open Unity project (auto-connects and generates skills)
unity-mcp-cli open ./MyUnityProject

Quick Start

Get up and running in three steps:

1. Install plugin — download the .unitypackage installer or run openupm add com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp

Alternative: npx unity-mcp-cli install-plugin ./MyUnityProject — see CLI documentation

1. Pick an AI agent — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or any other
2. Setup AI agent — open Window/AI Game Developer in Unity and click Auto-generate skills (recommended) or Configure MCP

Alternative: npx unity-mcp-cli setup-skills claude-code ./MyUnityProject — see CLI documentation

That's it. Ask your AI "Create 3 cubes in a circle with radius 2" and watch it happen. ✨

Skills and Tools Reference

The plugin ships with 70+ built-in tools across four categories. Each tool brings AI skill. All tools are available immediately after installation — no extra configuration required. See docs/default-mcp-tools.md for the full reference with detailed descriptions.
