Unity
Connects AI models directly to Unity Editor, allowing them to create and modify GameObjects, manage scenes, and control Unity features through natural language commands.
Unlock powerful AI-driven control in Unity with Unity-MCP, a versatile bridge linking large language models to Unity's tools. It enables AI to understand and utilize Unity’s features—like creating, modifying, and managing GameObjects, Assets, Scenes, and more—directly inside the Unity Editor. Developers can extend Unity-MCP by adding custom tools to tailor AI interactions for advanced workflows, rapid prototyping, or automation. Designed for flexibility and future player build support, this project empowers you to integrate intelligent AI capabilities seamlessly into your Unity development process.
What it does
- Create and modify GameObjects in Unity scenes
- Manage Unity assets and scenes
- Control Unity Editor features via AI commands
- Extend functionality with custom tools
- Automate Unity development workflows

About Unity
Unity is a community-built MCP server published by IvanMurzak that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Empower your Unity projects with Unity-MCP: AI-driven control, seamless integration, and advanced workflows within the U It is categorized under ai ml, developer tools.
How to install
You can install Unity in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.
License
Unity is released under the Apache-2.0 license. This is a permissive open-source license, meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the software.
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.

Quick Start
Get up and running in three steps:
- Install the Plugin — download the
.unitypackageinstaller or runopenupm add com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp - Pick an MCP Client — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or any other
- Configure the client — open
Window/AI Game Developer — MCPin Unity and click Configure
That's it. Ask your AI "Create 3 cubes in a circle with radius 2" and watch it happen. ✨
Tools Reference
The plugin ships with 50+ built-in tools across three categories. All tools are available immediately after installation — no extra configuration required. See docs/default-mcp-tools.md for the full reference with detailed descriptions.
