Install

git clone https://github.com/azereki/ue-angelscript-mcp.git
cd ue-angelscript-mcp
npm install
npm link

npm install automatically builds via the prepare script.

Configure

Add to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ue-angelscript": {
      "command": "ue-angelscript-mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's it. The server auto-detects your project from the working directory.

Auto-detection

The server walks upward from cwd to find your project:

  1. Game project — directory containing a .uproject file

  2. Engine source tree — directory containing Engine/Plugins/Angelscript/

Once the project root is found, the editor binary is located automatically at Engine/Binaries/{platform}/UnrealEditor-Cmd.

Environment variable overrides

For non-standard layouts, set these in the .mcp.json env block or your shell:

Variable

Description

UE_AS_PROJECT_PATH

Path to UE project root

UE_AS_EDITOR_CMD

Path to UnrealEditor-Cmd binary

UE_AS_EXTRA_SCRIPT_ROOTS

Additional script directories (semicolon-separated)

Example with overrides:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ue-angelscript": {
      "command": "ue-angelscript-mcp",
      "env": {
        "UE_AS_PROJECT_PATH": "/path/to/my/project",
        "UE_AS_EXTRA_SCRIPT_ROOTS": "/shared/scripts;/mods/scripts"
      }
    }
  }
}
