Features

• Project Isolation: Each MCP server instance is bound to a single UE5 project (auto-detected from working directory)

• Managed Editor Lifecycle: Server manages the editor process and ensures cleanup on exit

• Auto Configuration: Automatically configures Python plugin and remote execution settings

• Remote Execution: Execute Python code in the editor via socket protocol

Installation

cd /path/to/your/ue5/project
ue-mcp

Or use with FastMCP:

fastmcp run ue_mcp.server:mcp
