Unity MCP

What is Unity MCP?

Unity MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges AI assistants with the Unity game engine. It enables AI models to help with game development tasks including script generation, scene management, asset configuration, and debugging — all from within your AI-powered editor.

AI-Powered Game Development

Game development involves repetitive tasks that AI excels at: writing boilerplate scripts, configuring component properties, setting up UI layouts, and debugging common issues. Unity MCP exposes these capabilities through standardized tools.

Key Features

Script Generation

Describe the behavior you want, and Unity MCP helps generate properly structured C# MonoBehaviour scripts with correct Unity API usage, serialized fields, and lifecycle methods.

Scene Management

Query the scene hierarchy, find objects by tag or layer, modify transform properties, and manage prefab instances. AI models can help reorganize complex scenes and optimize object placement.

Asset Pipeline

Configure import settings for textures, models, and audio files. Set up materials with the correct shader properties and create asset bundles for efficient loading.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unity": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["unity-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "UNITY_PROJECT_PATH": "/path/to/your/unity/project"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use Cases

Unity MCP is valuable for solo developers who need AI assistance across multiple disciplines, studios looking to accelerate prototyping, and educators teaching game development concepts. The server handles the Unity-specific complexity so AI models can provide accurate, runnable code and configurations.
