# MCP for Unity v5 Migration Guide
This guide will help you migrate from the legacy UnityMcpBridge installation to the new MCPForUnity package structure in version 5.
## Overview
Version 5 introduces a new package structure. The package is now installed from the `MCPForUnity` folder instead of the legacy `UnityMcpBridge` folder.
## Migration Steps
### Step 1: Uninstall the Current Package
1. Open the Unity Package Manager (**Window > Package Manager**)
2. Select **Packages: In Project** from the dropdown
3. Find **MCP for Unity** in the list
4. Click the **Remove** button to uninstall the legacy package
Remove old UI and do lots of cleanup (#340) * Remove legacy UI and correct priority ordering of menu items * Remove old UI screen Users now have the new UI alone, less confusing and more predictable * Remove unused config files * Remove test for window that doesn't exist * Remove unused code * Remove dangling .meta file * refactor: remove client configuration step from setup wizard * refactor: remove menu item attributes and manual window actions from Python tool sync * feat: update minimum Python version requirement from 3.10 to 3.11 The docs have 3.12. However, feature wise it seems that 3.11 is required * fix: replace emoji warning symbol with unicode character in setup wizard dialogs * docs: reorganize images into docs/images directory and update references * docs: add UI preview image to README * docs: add run_test function and resources section to available tools list The recent changes should close #311 * fix: add SystemRoot env var to Windows config to support Python path resolution Closes #315 * refactor: consolidate package installation and detection into unified lifecycle manager Duplicate code for pretty much no reason, as they both initialized there was a small chance of a race condition as well. Consolidating made sense here * Doc fixes from CodeRabbit * Excellent bug catch from CodeRabbit * fix: preserve existing environment variables when updating codex server config * Update docs so the paths match the original name * style: fix list indentation in README-DEV.md development docs * refactor: simplify env table handling in CodexConfigHelper by removing preservation logic * refactor: simplify configuration logic by removing redundant change detection Always overwrite configs * feat: ensure config directory exists before writing config files * feat: persist server installation errors and show retry UI instead of auto-marking as handled * refactor: consolidate configuration helpers by merging McpConfigFileHelper into McpConfigurationHelper * Small fixes from CodeRabbit * Remove test because we overwrite Codex configs * Remove unused function * feat: improve server cleanup and process handling on Windows - Added DeleteDirectoryWithRetry helper to handle Windows file locking with retries and readonly attribute clearing - Implemented KillWindowsUvProcesses to safely terminate Python processes in virtual environments using WMIC - Extended TryKillUvForPath to work on Windows, preventing file handle locks during server deletion - Improved error messages to be more descriptive about file locking issues - Replaced direct Directory.Delete calls with * fix: improve TCP socket cleanup to prevent CLOSE_WAIT states - Added proper socket shutdown sequence using Socket.Shutdown() before closing connections - Enhanced error handling with specific catches for SocketException vs general exceptions - Added debug logging for socket shutdown errors to help diagnose connection issues - Restructured HandleClientAsync to ensure socket cleanup happens in the correct order - Implemented proper socket teardown in both client handling and connection cleanup paths

## Verification
After completing these steps, verify the migration was successful:
- Check that the package appears in the Package Manager as **MCP for Unity**
- Confirm the package location shows the new `MCPForUnity` path
- Test basic MCP functionality to ensure everything works correctly
## Troubleshooting
- Check the Unity Console for specific error messages
- Ensure Python dependencies are properly installed
- Try pressing the rebuild button again
- Try restarting Unity and repeating the installation steps
