Unity CLI MCP server
Unity Technologies' own MCP server for Unity, provided by the unity mcp command of the Unity CLI.
What it does
Unity Technologies' own MCP server for Unity, provided by the unity mcp command of the Unity CLI. It replaces the MCP server that used to run inside the Editor as part of the AI Assistant package (com.unity.ai.assistant), which Unity has deprecated. The CLI's server is built on the Unity Pipeline package: after that package is installed in a project, unity mcp configure writes the settings a chosen client needs to reach the running Editor, and a list option shows which clients are supported and set up. Unity says the CLI runs offline, is free and does not need a Unity AI subscription; third-party Unity MCP packages are not affected by the deprecation.
Capabilities
- Connect an MCP client to a running Unity Editor through the Unity Pipeline package
- Write MCP client configuration with unity mcp configure
- List supported clients and their configuration status
