🚀 Quick Setup

📋 Prerequisites

<details> <summary><strong>🔑 Requirements</strong></summary>

</details>


📥 Installation

⚠️ REQUIRED: You must install Unity MCP before using any of its tools.

<details> <summary><strong>📦 Choose your setup method</strong></summary>

Method 1: Automatic Setup (Recommended) ⚡

One command does everything:

claude mcp add @spark-apps/unity-mcp

✅ Installs the package ✅ Configures your MCP client automatically ✅ Ready to use immediately after restart


Method 2: Manual Setup 🛠️

If you prefer to configure manually or use a different MCP client:

Step 1: Install the package globally

npm i -g @spark-apps/unity-mcp

Step 2: Add to your MCP client configuration

Edit your MCP client config file:

  • <span style="background: #1e90ff; color: white; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 3px; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;">Windows</span> %APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json
  • <span style="background: #c0c0c0; color: black; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 3px; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;">macOS</span> ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • <span style="background: #ffd700; color: black; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 3px; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;">Linux</span> ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unity-mcp": {"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@spark-apps/unity-mcp"]}
  }
}

Step 3: Restart your MCP client

🎮 Unity Editor Integration

<details> <summary><strong>⚡ One-time setup per Unity project</strong></summary>

Tell Claude to set up the integration:

Setup Unity MCP in my project at /path/to/unity/project

This installs 8 editor scripts to Assets/Editor/UnityMCP/ including:

  • HTTP server with auto-start (port 8080)
  • Control Panel UI with 🟢🟠🔴⚪ status monitoring
  • ScriptableObject configuration for persistent settings
  • Handlers for all 30 tools

After installation:

  1. Restart Unity Editor
  2. Open Tools → Unity MCP → Control Panel
  3. Verify 🟢 Connected status

Done! Use the Control Panel to manage settings and monitor your connection.
