Move Get commands to editor resources + Run Python tests every update (#368)
* Add a function to reload the domain

Closes #357

* feat: restructure server instructions into workflow-focused format

- Reorganized instructions from flat bullet list into categorized workflow sections
- Emphasized critical script management workflow with numbered steps
- Improved readability and scannability for AI agents using the MCP server

It doesn't make sense to repeat the fucnction tools, they're already parsed

* docs: reorder tool list alphabetically in README + add reload_domain tool

* feat: add Unity editor state and project info resources

- Implemented resources for querying active tool, editor state, prefab stage, selection, and open windows
- Added project configuration resources for layers and project metadata
- Organized new resources into Editor and Project namespaces for better structure

* feat: clarify script management workflow in system prompt

- Expanded guidance to include scripts created by any tool, not just manage_script
- Added "etc" to tools examples for better clarity

* refactor: remove reload_domain tool and update script management workflow

- Removed reload_domain tool as Unity automatically recompiles scripts when modified
- Updated script management instructions to rely on editor_state polling and console checking instead of manual domain reload
- Simplified workflow by removing unnecessary manual recompilation step

* Change name of menu items resource as the LLM seems it

* refactor: reorganize tests into src/tests/integration directory

- Moved all test files from root tests/ to MCPForUnity/UnityMcpServer~/src/tests/integration/ for better organization
- Added conftest.py with telemetry and dependency stubs to simplify test setup
- Removed redundant path manipulation and module loading code from individual test files

* feat: expand Unity test workflow triggers

- Run tests on all branches instead of only main
- Add pull request trigger to catch issues before merge
- Maintain path filtering to run only when relevant files change

* chore: add GitHub Actions workflow for Python tests

- Configured automated testing on push and pull requests using pytest
- Set up uv for dependency management and Python 3.10 environment
- Added test results artifact upload for debugging failed runs

* refactor: update import path for fastmcp Context

* docs: update development setup instructions to use uv

- Changed installation commands from pip to uv pip for better dependency management
- Updated test running instructions to use uv run pytest
- Added examples for running integration and unit tests separately

* Formatting [skip ci]

* refactor: optimize CI workflow with path filters and dependency installation

- Added path filters to only trigger tests when Python source or workflow files change
- Split dependency installation into sync and dev install steps for better clarity
- Fixed YAML indentation for improved readability

* Update .github/workflows/python-tests.yml

* fix: standardize test mode values to match Unity's naming convention

- Changed default mode from "edit" to "EditMode" in C# code
- Updated Python tool to use "EditMode" and "PlayMode" instead of lowercase variants

* refactor: convert test imports to relative imports

- Changed absolute imports to relative imports in integration tests for better package structure
- Removed test packages from pyproject.toml package list

* refactor: use Field with default_factory for mutable default in TagsResponse

* refactor: remove duplicate PrefabStageUtility call

* Update this as well [skip ci]

* Update MCPForUnity/UnityMcpServer~/src/tests/integration/test_script_tools.py

* chore: remove pull_request triggers from test workflows [skip ci]

It's already covered by pushes

* refactor: update resource function return types to include MCPResponse union

* refactor: remove manual domain reload tool

- Removed reload_domain tool as Unity handles script recompilation automatically
- Updated documentation to reflect automatic compilation workflow
- Simplified script management workflow instructions in server description

* refactor: add context support to resource handlers

- Updated all resource handlers to accept Context parameter for Unity instance routing
- Replaced direct async_send_command_with_retry calls with async_send_with_unity_instance wrapper
- Added imports for get_unity_instance_from_context and async_send_with_unity_instance helpers

* fix: correct grammar in menu items documentation

* docs: update README with expanded tools and resources documentation

- Added new tools: manage_prefabs, create_script, delete_script, get_sha
- Added new resources: editor state, windows, project info, layers, and tags
- Clarified manage_script as compatibility router with recommendation to use newer edit tools
- Fixed run_test to run_tests for consistency

* refactor: convert unity_instances function to async [skip ci]

- Changed function signature from synchronous to async
- Added await keywords to ctx.info() and ctx.error() calls to properly handle async context methods

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.
    • Rebuild MCP Server: Rebuilds the Python based MCP server
    • Select server folder…: Choose the folder containing server.py.
    • Verify again: Re-checks server presence.
    • If Python isnt 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 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 isnt 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 isnt 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 projects needs. A description is shown under the dropdown.

Troubleshooting


Tips

  • Enable “Show Debug Logs” in the header for more details in the Console when diagnosing issues.
