UnrealMCP Plugin

This plugin allows AI agents to directly modify your Unreal Engine project. While it can be a powerful tool, it also comes with risks:

- AI agents may make unexpected changes to your project
- Files could be accidentally deleted or modified
- Project settings could be altered
- Assets could be overwritten
- Always use source control (like Git or Perforce) with your project
- Make regular backups of your project
- Test the plugin in a separate project first
- Review changes before committing them

By using this plugin, you acknowledge that:

- You are solely responsible for any changes made to your project
- The plugin author is not responsible for any damage, data loss, or issues caused by AI agents
- You use this plugin at your own risk

- TCP server implementation for remote control of Unreal Engine
- JSON-based command protocol for AI tools integration
- Editor UI integration for easy access to MCP functionality
- Comprehensive scene manipulation capabilities
- Python companion scripts for client-side interaction

These are what I have in mind for development as of 3/14/2025 I'm not sure what's possible yet, in theory anything, but it depends on how good the integrated LLM is at utilizing these tools.

- Basic operations working
- Python working
- Materials
- User Extensions (in progress)
- Asset tools
- Blueprints
- Niagara VFX
- Metasound
- Landscape (I might hold off on this because Epic has mentioned they are going to be updating the landscape tools)
- Modeling Tools
- PCG

Clone this repository into your Unreal project'sPluginsdirectory:

git clone https://github.com/kvick-games/UnrealMCP.git Plugins/UnrealMCP

The project path should match this pattern like so: ...\UNREAL_PROJECT\Plugins\UnrealMCP\

Regenerate your project files (right-click your .uproject file and select "Generate Visual Studio project files")

Build the project in whatever IDE you use, I use Rider, Visual Studio works (working on releases now)

Open your project and enable the plugin in Edit > Plugins > UnrealMCP

Run setup_unreal_mcp.bat (I probably need to make some fixes to this file as more people try it out)

Currently I've only tested with Claude for Desktop so follow the instructions below to continue

You will need to find your installation directory for claude for desktop. Find claude_desktop_config.json and add an entry and make it look like so:

To find the path to your claude for desktop install you can go into settings and click 'Edit Config' On my Windows PC the path is: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Claude

Once the plugin is enabled, you'll find MCP controls in the editor toolbar button.

The TCP server can be started/stopped from here. Check the output log under log filter LogMCP for extra information.

Once the server is confirmed up and running from the editor. Open Claude for Desktop, ensure that the tools have successfully enabled, ask Claude to work in unreal.

Currently only basic operations are supported, creating objects, modfiying their transforms, getting scene info, and running python scripts. Claude makes a lot of errors with unreal python as I believe there aren't a ton of examples for it, but let it run and it will usually figure things out. I would really like to improve this aspect of how it works but it's low hanging fruit for adding functionality into unreal.

Use the provided Python scripts in theMCPdirectory to connect to and control your Unreal Engine instance:

from unreal_mcp_client import UnrealMCPClient # Connect to the Unreal MCP server client = UnrealMCPClient("localhost", 13377) # Example: Create a cube in the scene client.create_object( class_name="StaticMeshActor", asset_path="/Engine/BasicShapes/Cube.Cube", location=(0, 0, 100), rotation=(0, 0, 0), scale=(1, 1, 1), name="MCP_Cube" )

The plugin supports various commands for scene manipulation:

- get_scene_info: Retrieve information about the current scene
- create_object: Spawn a new object in the scene
- delete_object: Remove an object from the scene
- modify_object: Change properties of an existing object
- execute_python: Run Python commands in Unreal's Python environment
- And more to come...

Refer to the documentation in theDocsdirectory for a complete command reference.

- The MCP server accepts connections from any client by default
- Limit server exposure to localhost for development
- Validate all incoming commands to prevent injection attacks

- Source/UnrealMCP/: Core plugin implementation

Contributions are welcome, but I will need some time to wrap my head around things and cleanup first, lol
