How to Set Up and Use Unity AI Animation
Unity AI Animation is an MCP server package for the Unity Editor that lets AI assistants create and modify AnimationClip and AnimatorController assets through natural language commands, removing the need to manually set keyframes or configure state machine transitions in the Unity Inspector. It exposes six tools covering animation clip creation, data retrieval, and modification, as well as animator controller creation, inspection, and editing. Game developers use it to automate repetitive animation setup tasks — such as configuring blend trees, adding events, or cloning state machines — directly from an AI coding assistant.
Prerequisites
- Unity Editor 2022.3 LTS, 2023.2, or Unity 6 (6000.3.1f1+)
- OpenUPM-CLI installed if using the command-line installation method
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop configured to connect to the Unity MCP server
- The Unity AI MCP core package (com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp) may be required as a dependency
Install the Unity AI Animation package
Add the package to your Unity project using OpenUPM-CLI. Run this command from the root of your Unity project directory.
openupm add com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp.animationAlternative: import the .unitypackage file
Download the latest .unitypackage release from the GitHub releases page, then import it into Unity via Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.
Verify the package is loaded in Unity
Open the Unity Package Manager (Window > Package Manager) and confirm com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp.animation appears in your project's installed packages list.
Configure your MCP client to connect to Unity
The Unity MCP server runs inside the Unity Editor process. Add the server entry to your MCP client configuration pointing to the local Unity MCP endpoint.
Test animation clip creation
In your MCP client, ask the AI to create an animation clip. The server's animation-create tool will generate a new AnimationClip asset in your Unity project.
Unity AI Animation Examples
Client configuration
Configure Claude Desktop to connect to the Unity AI Animation MCP server running inside the Unity Editor. The exact command depends on the Unity MCP host setup in your project.

}Prompts to try
Use these prompts in your MCP client once the server is connected to your Unity project.
- "Create a new AnimationClip called 'WalkCycle' at Assets/Animations/."
- "Get the data for the 'Run' AnimationClip, including its curves and frame rate."
- "Add a jump event at frame 10 to the 'JumpClip' animation."
- "Create an AnimatorController called 'PlayerController' with Idle, Walk, and Run states."
- "Add a transition from Idle to Walk when the Speed parameter exceeds 0.1."Troubleshooting Unity AI Animation
openupm command not found
Install OpenUPM-CLI globally via npm: 'npm install -g openupm-cli'. Then retry the openupm add command from your Unity project root directory.
Animation tools do not appear in the MCP client
Ensure the Unity Editor is running with the project open. The MCP server is hosted inside the Unity Editor process and is only available while Unity is active with the package loaded.
animation-modify fails with 'asset not found'
Use animation-get-data first to confirm the clip path and name. Asset paths in Unity are case-sensitive and must start with 'Assets/'. Verify the clip exists in the Project window before modifying it.
