# Phase 4: Unreal Engine Plugin Development
## Overview
This phase focuses on developing the UEPythonServer plugin for Unreal Engine, which will enable Python code execution within the Unreal environment via HTTP requests from the MCP server.
## Tasks
### 1. Plugin Structure Setup
- [x] Create UEPythonServer plugin directory with required files
- [x] Set up plugin metadata in UEPythonServer.uplugin
- [x] Define module structure for the plugin
- [x] Configure build system for the plugin
### 2. HTTP Server Implementation
- [x] Implement HTTP server on port 8500
- [x] Create request handling functionality
- [x] Implement endpoint routing
- [x] Add security measures for local-only access
### 3. Python Integration
- [x] Set up Python environment within Unreal Engine
- [x] Implement Python code execution mechanism
- [x] Create sandboxed execution environment
- [x] Add timeout and resource limitation features
### 4. API Implementation
- [x] Create `/execute` endpoint for code execution
- [x] Implement request validation
- [x] Add error handling and reporting
- [x] Create response formatting
### 5. Unreal Editor Integration
- [x] Create editor UI for plugin configuration
- [x] Add status indicators for server state
- [x] Implement logging in editor
- [x] Create user feedback mechanisms
### 6. Testing and Security
- [ ] Create test scripts for plugin functionality
- [x] Implement security measures for code execution
- [x] Add crash prevention and recovery
- [x] Create comprehensive error logging
## Testing Procedures
- Test plugin installation in a clean Unreal project
- Verify HTTP server starts and stops correctly
- Test Python code execution with various scripts
- Verify error handling with invalid inputs
- Test integration with MCP server
- Validate security measures for code execution
## Deliverables
- Functional UEPythonServer plugin
- HTTP server on port 8500
- Python code execution capabilities
- Editor UI for configuration
- Security measures for safe execution
- Test suite for plugin functionality
