<summary><strong>Click to view common issues and fixes...</strong></summary>
- **Unity Bridge Not Running/Connecting:**
- Ensure Unity Editor is open.
- Check the status window: Window > Unity MCP.
- Restart Unity.
- **MCP Client Not Connecting / Server Not Starting:**
- **Verify Server Path:** Double-check the --directory path in your MCP Client\'s JSON config. It must exactly match the location where you cloned the UnityMCP repository in Installation Step 1 (e.g., .../Programs/UnityMCP/UnityMcpServer/src).
- **Verify uv:** Make sure `uv` is installed and working (pip show uv).
- **Run Manually:** Try running the server directly from the terminal to see errors: `# Navigate to the src directory first! cd /path/to/your/UnityMCP/UnityMcpServer/src uv run server.py`
- **Permissions (macOS/Linux):** If you installed the server in a system location like /usr/local/bin, ensure the user running the MCP client has permission to execute uv and access files there. Installing in ~/bin might be easier.
- **Auto-Configure Failed:**
- Use the Manual Configuration steps. Auto-configure might lack permissions to write to the MCP client\'s config file.
