| 1 | +# MCP for Unity — Editor Plugin Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Use this guide to configure and run MCP for Unity inside the Unity Editor. Installation is covered elsewhere; this document focuses on the Editor window, client configuration, and troubleshooting. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Open the window |
| 6 | +- Unity menu: Window > MCP for Unity |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +The window has four areas: Server Status, Unity Bridge, MCP Client Configuration, and Script Validation. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +--- |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Quick start |
| 13 | +1. Open Window > MCP for Unity. |
| 14 | +2. Click “Auto-Setup”. |
| 15 | +3. If prompted: |
| 16 | + - Select the server folder that contains `server.py` (UnityMcpServer/src). |
| 17 | + - Install Python and/or uv if missing. |
| 18 | + - For Claude Code, ensure the `claude` CLI is installed. |
| 19 | +4. Click “Start Bridge” if the Unity Bridge shows “Stopped”. |
| 20 | +5. Use your MCP client (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code) to connect. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +--- |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## Server Status |
| 25 | +- Status dot and label: |
| 26 | + - Installed / Installed (Embedded) / Not Installed. |
| 27 | +- Mode and ports: |
| 28 | + - Mode: Auto or Standard. |
| 29 | + - Ports: Unity 6400, MCP Server 6500. |
| 30 | +- Actions: |
| 31 | + - Auto-Setup: Registers/updates your selected MCP client(s), ensures bridge connectivity. Shows “Connected ✓” after success. |
| 32 | + - Repair Python Env: Rebuilds a clean Python environment (deletes `.venv`, runs `uv sync`). |
| 33 | + - Select server folder…: Choose the folder containing `server.py`. |
| 34 | + - Verify again: Re-checks server presence. |
| 35 | + - If Python isn’t detected, use “Open install instructions”. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +--- |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Unity Bridge |
| 40 | +- Shows Running or Stopped with a status dot. |
| 41 | +- Start/Stop Bridge button toggles the Unity bridge process used by MCP clients to talk to Unity. |
| 42 | +- Tip: After Auto-Setup, the bridge may auto-start in Auto mode. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +--- |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## MCP Client Configuration |
| 47 | +- Select Client: Choose your target MCP client (e.g., Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code). |
| 48 | +- Per-client actions: |
| 49 | + - Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf: |
| 50 | + - Auto Configure: Writes/updates your config to launch the server via uv: |
| 51 | + - Command: uv |
| 52 | + - Args: run --directory <pythonDir> server.py |
| 53 | + - Manual Setup: Opens a window with a pre-filled JSON snippet to copy/paste into your client config. |
| 54 | + - Choose UV Install Location: If uv isn’t on PATH, select the uv binary. |
| 55 | + - A compact “Config:” line shows the resolved config file name once uv/server are detected. |
| 56 | + - Claude Code: |
| 57 | + - Register with Claude Code / Unregister UnityMCP with Claude Code. |
| 58 | + - If the CLI isn’t found, click “Choose Claude Install Location”. |
| 59 | + - The window displays the resolved Claude CLI path when detected. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Notes: |
| 62 | +- The UI shows a status dot and a short status text (e.g., “Configured”, “uv Not Found”, “Claude Not Found”). |
| 63 | +- Use “Auto Configure” for one-click setup; use “Manual Setup” when you prefer to review/copy config. |
| 64 | + |

| 66 | + |
| 67 | +## Script Validation |
| 68 | +- Validation Level options: |
| 69 | + - Basic — Only syntax checks |
| 70 | + - Standard — Syntax + Unity practices |
| 71 | + - Comprehensive — All checks + semantic analysis |
| 72 | + - Strict — Full semantic validation (requires Roslyn) |
| 73 | +- Pick a level based on your project’s needs. A description is shown under the dropdown. |
