Installation

Option 1: PyPI

Install and run directly from PyPI using uvx.

Run Server (HTTP):

uvx --from mcpforunityserver mcp-for-unity --transport http --http-url http://localhost:8080

MCP Client Configuration (HTTP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "UnityMCP": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp"
    }
  }
}

MCP Client Configuration (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "UnityMCP": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mcpforunityserver",
        "mcp-for-unity",
        "--transport",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: From GitHub Source

Use this to run the latest released version from the repository. Change the version to main to run the latest unreleased changes from the repository.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "UnityMCP": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/CoplayDev/unity-mcp@v9.2.0#subdirectory=Server",
        "mcp-for-unity",
        "--transport",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Docker

Use Pre-built Image:

docker run -p 8080:8080 msanatan/mcp-for-unity-server:latest --transport http --http-url http://0.0.0.0:8080

Build Locally:

docker build -t unity-mcp-server .
docker run -p 8080:8080 unity-mcp-server --transport http --http-url http://0.0.0.0:8080

Configure your MCP client with "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp".

Option 4: Local Development

For contributing or modifying the server code:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/CoplayDev/unity-mcp.git
cd unity-mcp/Server

# Run with uv
uv run src/main.py --transport stdio

---

Configuration

The server connects to Unity Editor automatically when both are running. No additional configuration needed.

Environment Variables:

• DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true - Opt out of anonymous usage analytics
• LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG - Enable detailed logging (default: INFO)

---

MCP Resources

The server provides read-only MCP resources for querying Unity Editor state. Resources provide up-to-date information about your Unity project without modifying it.

Accessing Resources:

Resources are accessed by their URI (not their name). Always use ListMcpResources to get the correct URI format.

Example URIs:

• mcpforunity://editor/state - Editor readiness snapshot
• mcpforunity://project/tags - All project tags
• mcpforunity://scene/gameobject/{instance_id} - GameObject details by ID
• mcpforunity://prefab/{encoded_path} - Prefab info by asset path

Important: Resource names use underscores (e.g., editor_state) but URIs use slashes/hyphens (e.g., mcpforunity://editor/state). Always use the URI from ListMcpResources() when reading resources.

All resource descriptions now include their URI for easy reference. List available resources to see the complete catalog with URIs.

Example Prompts

Once connected, try these commands in your AI assistant:

• "Create a 3D player controller with WASD movement"
• "Add a rotating cube to the scene with a red material"
• "Create a simple platformer level with obstacles"
• "Generate a shader that creates a holographic effect"
• "List all GameObjects in the current scene"
