* feat: Redesign GameObject API for better LLM ergonomics
## New Tools
- find_gameobjects: Search GameObjects, returns paginated instance IDs only
- manage_components: Component lifecycle (add, remove, set_property)
## New Resources
- unity://scene/gameobject/{id}: Single GameObject data (no component serialization)
- unity://scene/gameobject/{id}/components: All components (paginated)
- unity://scene/gameobject/{id}/component/{name}: Single component by type
## Updated
- manage_scene get_hierarchy: Now includes componentTypes array
- manage_gameobject: Slimmed to lifecycle only (create, modify, delete)
- Legacy actions (find, get_components, etc.) log deprecation warnings
## Extracted Utilities
- ParamCoercion: Centralized int/bool/float/string coercion
- VectorParsing: Vector3/Vector2/Quaternion/Color parsing
- GameObjectLookup: Centralized GameObject search logic
## Test Coverage
- 76 new Unity EditMode tests for ManageGameObject actions
- 21 new pytest tests for Python tools/resources
- New NL/T CI suite for GameObject API (GO-0 to GO-5)
Addresses LLM confusion with parameter overload by splitting into
focused tools and read-only resources.
* feat: Add static gameobject_api helper resource for UI discoverability
Adds unity://scene/gameobject-api resource that:
- Shows in Cursor's resource list UI (no parameters needed)
- Documents the parameterized gameobject resources
- Explains the workflow: find_gameobjects → read resource
- Lists examples and related tools
* feat: Add GO tests to main NL/T CI workflow
- Adds GO pass (GO-0 to GO-5) after T pass in claude-nl-suite.yml
- Includes retry logic for incomplete GO tests
- Updates all regex patterns to recognize GO-* test IDs
- Updates DESIRED lists to include all 21 tests (NL-0..4, T-A..J, GO-0..5)
- Updates default_titles for GO tests in markdown summary
- Keeps separate claude-gameobject-suite.yml for standalone runs
* feat: Add GameObject API stress tests and NL/T suite updates
Stress Tests (12 new tests):
- BulkCreate small/medium batches
- FindGameObjects pagination with by_component search
- AddComponents to single object
- GetComponents with full serialization
- SetComponentProperties (complex Rigidbody)
- Deep hierarchy creation and path lookup
- GetHierarchy with large scenes
- Resource read performance tests
- RapidFire create-modify-delete cycles
NL/T Suite Updates:
- Added GO-0..GO-10 tests in nl-gameobject-suite.md
- Fixed tool naming: mcp__unity__ → mcp__UnityMCP__
Other:
- Fixed LongUnityScriptClaudeTest.cs compilation errors
- Added reports/, .claude/local/, scripts/local-test/ to .gitignore
All 254 EditMode tests pass (250 run, 4 explicit skips)
* fix: Address code review feedback
- ParamCoercion: Use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture for float parsing
- ManageComponents: Move Transform removal check before GetComponent
- ManageGameObjectFindTests: Use try-finally for LogAssert.ignoreFailingMessages
- VectorParsing: Document that quaternions are not auto-normalized
- gameobject.py: Prefix unused ctx parameter with underscore
* fix: Address additional code review feedback
- ManageComponents: Reuse GameObjectLookup.FindComponentType instead of duplicate
- ManageComponents: Log warnings when SetPropertiesOnComponent fails
- GameObjectLookup: Make FindComponentType public for reuse
- gameobject.py: Extract _normalize_response helper to reduce duplication
- gameobject.py: Add TODO comment for unused typed response classes
* fix: Address more code review feedback
NL/T Prompt Fixes:
- nl-gameobject-suite.md: Remove non-existent list_resources/read_resource from AllowedTools
- nl-gameobject-suite.md: Fix parameter names (component_type, properties)
- nl-unity-suite-nl.md: Remove unused manage_editor from AllowedTools
Test Fixes:
- GameObjectAPIStressTests: Add null check to ToJObject helper
- GameObjectAPIStressTests: Clarify AudioSource usage comment
- ManageGameObjectFindTests: Use built-in 'UI' layer instead of 'Water'
- LongUnityScriptClaudeTest: Clean up NL/T test artifacts (Counte42 typo, HasTarget)
* docs: Add documentation for API limitations and behaviors
- GameObjectLookup.SearchByPath: Document and warn that includeInactive
has no effect (Unity API limitation)
- ManageComponents.TrySetProperty: Document case-insensitive lookup behavior
* More test fixes and tighten parameters on python tools
* fix: Align test expectation with implementation error message case
* docs: update README tools and resources lists
- Add missing tools: manage_components, batch_execute, find_gameobjects, refresh_unity
- Add missing resources: gameobject_api, editor_state_v2
- Make descriptions more concise across all tools and resources
- Ensure documentation matches current MCP server functionality
* fix: Address code review feedback
- ParamCoercion: Use InvariantCulture for int/double parsing consistency
- ManageComponents: Remove redundant Undo.RecordObject (AddComponent handles undo)
- ManageScene: Replace deprecated FindObjectsOfType with FindObjectsByType
- GameObjectLookup: Add explanatory comment to empty catch block
- gameobject.py: Extract _validate_instance_id helper to reduce duplication
- Tests: Fix assertion for instanceID (Unity IDs can be negative)
* chore: Remove accidentally committed test artifacts
- Remove Materials folder (40 .mat files from interactive testing)
- Remove Shaders folder (5 noise shaders from testing)
- Remove test scripts (Bounce*, CylinderBounce* from testing)
- Remove Temp.meta and commit.sh
* test: Improve delete tests to verify actual deletion
- Delete_ByTag_DeletesMatchingObjects: Verify objects are actually destroyed
- Delete_ByLayer_DeletesMatchingObjects: Assert deletion using Unity null check
- Delete_MultipleObjectsSameName_DeletesCorrectly: Document first-match behavior
- Delete_Success_ReturnsDeletedCount: Verify count value if present
All tests now verify deletion occurred rather than just checking for a result.
* refactor: remove deprecated manage_gameobject actions
- Remove deprecated switch cases: find, get_components, get_component, add_component, remove_component, set_component_property
- Remove deprecated wrapper methods (423 lines deleted from ManageGameObject.cs)
- Delete ManageGameObjectFindTests.cs (tests deprecated 'find' action)
- Remove deprecated test methods from ManageGameObjectTests.cs
- Add GameObject resource URIs to README documentation
- Add batch_execute performance tips to README, tool description, and gameobject_api resource
- Enhance batch_execute description to emphasize 10-100x performance gains
Total: ~1200 lines removed. New API (find_gameobjects, manage_components, resources) is the recommended path forward.
* fix: Remove starlette stubs from conftest.py
Starlette is now a proper dependency via the mcp package, so we don't need
to stub it anymore. The real package handles all HTTP transport needs.

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
- Open Window > MCP for Unity.
- Click “Auto-Setup”.
- 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
claudeCLI is installed.
- Select the packaged server folder (
- Click “Start Bridge” if the Unity Bridge shows “Stopped”.
- 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 isn’t detected, use “Open Install Instructions”.
- HTTP Server Command foldout:
- Expands to display the exact
uvxcommand Unity will run. - Includes a copy button and the “Start Local HTTP Server” action so you can launch or reuse the command elsewhere.
- Expands to display the exact
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
uvxwith 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 isn’t on PATH, select the executable.
- A compact “Config:” line shows the resolved config file name once uv/server are detected.
- Auto Configure: Writes/updates your config to launch the server via
- 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.
- Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf:
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.
Troubleshooting
- Python or
uvnot found: - Claude CLI not found:
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.
