fix: resolve Claude Code HTTP Remote UV path override not being detected in System Requirements .#550
* fix: resolve UV path override not being detected in System Requirements

Fixes #538

The System Requirements panel showed "UV Package Manager: Not Found" even
when a valid UV path override was configured in Advanced Settings.

Root cause: PlatformDetectorBase.DetectUv() only searched PATH with bare
command names ("uvx", "uv") and never consulted PathResolverService which
respects the user's override setting.

Changes:
- Refactor DetectUv() to use PathResolverService.GetUvxPath() which checks
  override path first, then system PATH, then falls back to "uvx"
- Add TryValidateUvExecutable() to verify executables by running --version
  instead of just checking File.Exists
- Prioritize PATH environment variable in EnumerateUvxCandidates() for
  better compatibility with official uv install scripts
- Fix process output read order (ReadToEnd before WaitForExit) to prevent
  potential deadlocks

* fix: improve uv/uvx detection robustness on macOS and Linux

- Read both stdout and stderr when validating uv/uvx executables
- Respect WaitForExit timeout return value instead of ignoring it
- Fix version parsing to handle extra tokens like "(Homebrew 2025-01-01)"
- Resolve bare commands ("uv"/"uvx") to absolute paths after validation
- Rename FindExecutableInPath to FindUvxExecutableInPath for clarity

* refactor: unify process execution with ExecPath.TryRun and add Windows PATH augmentation

Replace direct Process.Start calls with ExecPath.TryRun across all platform detectors.
This change:
- Fixes potential deadlocks by using async output reading
- Adds proper timeout handling with process termination
- Removes redundant fallback logic and simplifies version parsing
- Adds Windows PATH augmentation with common uv, npm, and Python installation paths

* fix: improve version parsing to handle both spaces and parentheses

The version extraction logic now properly handles outputs like:
- "uvx 0.9.18" -> "0.9.18"
- "uvx 0.9.18 (hash date)" -> "0.9.18"
- "uvx 0.9.18 extra info" -> "0.9.18"

Uses Math.Min to find the first occurrence of either space or parenthesis.

* refactor: improve platform detectors with absolute path resolution

- Add absolute path resolution in TryValidatePython and TryValidateUvWithPath for better UI display
- Fix BuildAugmentedPath to avoid PATH duplication
- Add comprehensive comments for version parsing logic
- Ensure cross-platform consistency across all three detectors
- Fix override path validation logic with clear state handling
- Fix platform detector path resolution and Python version detection
- Use UserProfile consistently in GetClaudeCliPath instead of Personal
- All platforms now use protected BuildAugmentedPath method

This change improves user experience by displaying full paths in the UI
while maintaining robust fallback behavior if path resolution fails.

- Add cross-platform FindInPath() helper in ExecPath.cs
- Remove platform-specific where/which implementations in favor of unified helper
- Add Windows-specific DetectUv() override with enhanced uv/uvx detection
- Add WinGet shim path support for Windows uvx installation
- Update UI labels: "UV Path" -> "UVX Path"
- Only show uvx path status when override is configured

* fix: improve validation light(uvxPathStatus) logic for UVX path overrides and system paths

* refactor: streamline UV version validation and unify path detection methods across platform detectors

* fix: add type handling for Claude Code client in config JSON builder

* fix: correct command from 'uvx' to 'uv' for Python version listing in WindowsPlatformDetector

* feat: add uvx path fallback with warning UI

  - When override path is invalid, automatically fall back to system path
  - Add HasUvxPathFallback flag to track fallback state
  - Show yellow warning indicator when using fallback
  - Display clear messages for invalid override paths
  - Updated all platform detectors (Windows, macOS, Linux) to support fallback logic

* refactor: remove GetDetails method from PlatformDetectorBase

* Update ExecPath.cs

update Windows Path lookup

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 packaged server folder (Server) if you want to run the bundled implementation.
    • Install Python and/or uv/uvx if missing so the server can be managed locally.
    • 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”.
  • HTTP Server Command foldout:
    • Expands to display the exact uvx command Unity will run.
    • Includes a copy button and the “Start Local HTTP Server” action so you can launch or reuse the command elsewhere.

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 uvx with the current package version:
        • Command: uvx (or your overridden path)
        • Args: --from mcp-for-unity
      • Manual Setup: Opens a window with a pre-filled JSON snippet to copy/paste into your client config.
      • Choose UV Install Location: If uv/uvx isnt on PATH, select the executable.
      • 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

  • Use Cmd+Shift+M (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+M (Windows, Linux) to toggle the MCP for Unity window.
  • Enable “Show Debug Logs” in the header for more details in the Console when diagnosing issues.
