+# Unity MCP Development Tools
+
+Welcome to the Unity MCP development environment! This directory contains tools and utilities to streamline Unity MCP core development.
+
+## 🚀 Available Development Features
+
+### ✅ Development Deployment Scripts
+Quick deployment and testing tools for Unity MCP core changes.
+
+### 🔄 Coming Soon
+- **Development Mode Toggle**: Built-in Unity editor development features
+- **Hot Reload System**: Real-time code updates without Unity restarts  
+- **Plugin Development Kit**: Tools for creating custom Unity MCP extensions
+- **Automated Testing Suite**: Comprehensive testing framework for contributions
+- **Debug Dashboard**: Advanced debugging and monitoring tools
+
+---
+
+## Development Deployment Scripts
+
+These deployment scripts help you quickly test changes to Unity MCP core code.
+
+## Scripts
+
+### `deploy-dev.bat`
+Deploys your development code to the actual installation locations for testing.
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Backs up original files to a timestamped folder
+2. Copies Unity Bridge code to Unity's package cache
+3. Copies Python Server code to the MCP installation folder
+
+**Usage:**
+1. Run `deploy-dev.bat`
+2. Enter Unity package cache path (example provided)
+3. Enter server path (or use default: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\UnityMCP\UnityMcpServer\src`)
+4. Enter backup location (or use default: `%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\unity-mcp-backup`)
+
+### `restore-dev.bat`
+Restores original files from backup.
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Lists available backups with timestamps
+2. Allows you to select which backup to restore
+3. Restores both Unity Bridge and Python Server files
+
+## Finding Unity Package Cache Path
+
+Unity package cache is typically located at:
+```
+X:\UnityProject\Library\PackageCache\com.justinpbarnett.unity-mcp@1.0.0
+```
+
+To find it:
+1. Open Unity Package Manager
+2. Select "Unity MCP" package
+3. Right click on the package and "Show in Explorer"
+4. Navigate to the path above with your username and version
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Make changes** to your source code in this directory
+2. **Deploy** using `deploy-dev.bat`
+3. **Test** in Unity (restart Unity Editor first)
+4. **Iterate** - repeat steps 1-3 as needed
+5. **Restore** original files when done using `restore-dev.bat`
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Path not found" errors running the .bat file
+- Verify Unity package cache path is correct
+- Check that Unity MCP package is actually installed
+- Ensure server is installed via MCP client
+
+### "Permission denied" errors
+- Run cmd as Administrator
+- Close Unity Editor before deploying
+- Close any MCP clients before deploying
+
+### "Backup not found" errors
+- Run `deploy-dev.bat` first to create initial backup
+- Check backup directory permissions
+- Verify backup directory path is correct

 **Create your Unity apps with LLMs!**
 
 Unity MCP acts as a bridge, allowing AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor) to interact directly with your Unity Editor via a local **MCP (Model Context Protocol) Client**. Give your LLM tools to manage assets, control scenes, edit scripts, and automate tasks within Unity.
