# MCP Unity
> MCP Unity is an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for the Unity Editor.
> It connects a C# Unity Editor package with a Node.js/TypeScript server over WebSockets and exposes
> high-level "tools" and "resources" so language-model agents and other automated clients can safely
> inspect, test, and modify Unity projects in real-time.
This repository consists of two coordinated halves that communicate using JSON-encoded MCP messages:
- **Editor/** – Unity package that starts an internal WebSocket server and registers C# MCP tools & resources.
- **Server/** – Node.js/TypeScript application that runs outside Unity, connects to the Editor server, and
re-exposes identical MCP tools/resources for AI assistants.
Together they allow AI coding assistants (e.g. Windsurf, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to drive the Unity Editor headlessly,
automate scene and asset management, run tests, install packages, and gather diagnostics.
