Does Unity have an MCP server?
Unity maintains an official MCP server.
Unity's official server is in beta, delivered inside the editor via the AI Assistant package. The community CoplayDev/unity-mcp (~13.3k stars) remains the most-used option.

- Built into the product
- Endpoint

Ships inside Unity's own product rather than as a standalone server. Documented at docs.unity3d.com.
Unity MCP acts as a bridge between AI assistants and your Unity Editor. Give your LLM tools to manage assets, control scenes, edit scripts, and automate tasks within Unity.
Ships inside the vendor's own app or CLI rather than as a standalone download.
Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:
claude mcp add unity -- npx -y <package-from-readme>Swap in the exact package and flags from the package page — most servers need an API key passed as an environment variable.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add the server to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"unity": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"unity": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"unity": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
]
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.
