# MCP for Unity — Editor Plugin Guide
|
||
|
||
Use this guide to configure and run MCP for Unity inside the Unity Editor. Installation is covered elsewhere; this document focuses on the Editor window, client configuration, and troubleshooting.
|
||
|
||
## Open the window
|
||
- Unity menu: Window > MCP for Unity
|
||
|
||
The window has four areas: Server Status, Unity Bridge, MCP Client Configuration, and Script Validation.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
1. Open Window > MCP for Unity.
|
||
2. Click “Auto-Setup”.
|
||
3. If prompted:
|
||
- Select the server folder that contains `server.py` (UnityMcpServer~/src).
|
||
- Install Python and/or uv if missing.
|
||
- For Claude Code, ensure the `claude` CLI is installed.
|
||
4. Click “Start Bridge” if the Unity Bridge shows “Stopped”.
|
||
5. Use your MCP client (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code) to connect.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Server Status
|
||
- Status dot and label:
|
||
- Installed / Installed (Embedded) / Not Installed.
|
||
- Mode and ports:
|
||
- Mode: Auto or Standard.
|
||
- Ports: Unity (varies; shown in UI), MCP 6500.
|
||
- Actions:
|
||
- Auto-Setup: Registers/updates your selected MCP client(s), ensures bridge connectivity. Shows “Connected ✓” after success.
|
||
- Repair Python Env: Rebuilds a clean Python environment (deletes `.venv`, runs `uv sync`).
|
||
- Select server folder…: Choose the folder containing `server.py`.
|
||
- Verify again: Re-checks server presence.
|
||
- If Python isn’t detected, use “Open Install Instructions”.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Unity Bridge
|
||
- Shows Running or Stopped with a status dot.
|
||
- Start/Stop Bridge button toggles the Unity bridge process used by MCP clients to talk to Unity.
|
||
- Tip: After Auto-Setup, the bridge may auto-start in Auto mode.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## MCP Client Configuration
|
||
- Select Client: Choose your target MCP client (e.g., Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code).
|
||
- Per-client actions:
|
||
- Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf:
|
||
- Auto Configure: Writes/updates your config to launch the server via uv:
|
||
- Command: uv
|
||
- Args: run --directory <pythonDir> server.py
|
||
- Manual Setup: Opens a window with a pre-filled JSON snippet to copy/paste into your client config.
|
||
- Choose `uv` Install Location: If uv isn’t on PATH, select the uv binary.
|
||
- A compact “Config:” line shows the resolved config file name once uv/server are detected.
|
||
- Claude Code:
|
||
- Register with Claude Code / Unregister MCP for Unity with Claude Code.
|
||
- If the CLI isn’t found, click “Choose Claude Install Location”.
|
||
- The window displays the resolved Claude CLI path when detected.
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
- The UI shows a status dot and a short status text (e.g., “Configured”, “uv Not Found”, “Claude Not Found”).
|
||
- Use “Auto Configure” for one-click setup; use “Manual Setup” when you prefer to review/copy config.
|
||

## Script Validation
|
||
- Validation Level options:
|
||
- Basic — Only syntax checks
|
||
- Standard — Syntax + Unity practices
|
||
- Comprehensive — All checks + semantic analysis
|
||
- Strict — Full semantic validation (requires Roslyn)
|
||
- Pick a level based on your project’s needs. A description is shown under the dropdown.
