How to Set Up and Use Unity AI Tools Template
The Unity AI Tools Template is a C# project template for creating custom MCP tool servers that integrate with the Unity game engine editor and runtime. It provides the scaffolding to define editor tools (which have access to Unity Editor APIs) and runtime tools (available in game builds), making it straightforward to expose Unity functionality to AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Game developers and technical artists use this template as a starting point for building AI-assisted Unity workflows, such as scene manipulation, asset management, or gameplay debugging.
Prerequisites
- Unity Editor installed (check the template's Unity version requirements in the repository)
- OpenUPM CLI installed for package management (npm install -g openupm-cli)
- PowerShell (Windows) or Bash (Mac/Linux) for initialization scripts
- Git to clone the template repository
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Clone the template repository
Clone the Unity AI Tools Template repository to use as the basis for your custom MCP server.
git clone https://github.com/IvanMurzak/Unity-AI-Tools-Template.git
cd Unity-AI-Tools-TemplateInitialize the package
Run the init script to set up the package with your own package ID and name. This customizes the template for your project.
# Windows PowerShell
.\commands\init.ps1 -PackageId "com.yourcompany.aitools" -PackageName "My AI Tools"
# Mac/Linux
./commands/init.sh --package-id "com.yourcompany.aitools" --package-name "My AI Tools"Add the package to your Unity project
Install the package into your Unity project using OpenUPM or by copying it into your project's Packages folder.
# Navigate to your Unity project root first
cd /path/to/your/unity/project
openupm add com.yourcompany.aitoolsDefine your MCP tools
Create tool classes using the McpPluginToolType and McpPluginTool attributes. Editor tools use Unity Editor APIs; runtime tools work in builds. Add descriptions that the LLM will read to understand when to call each tool.
[McpPluginToolType]
public static class MyEditorTool
{
[McpPluginTool("my-tool-id", Title = "My Tool")]
[Description("Description for the AI to understand this tool")]
public static Task<string> DoSomething(
[Description("Parameter description")]
string parameter)
{
// Your Unity Editor logic here
return Task.FromResult("result");
}
}Configure your MCP client
After building the MCP server from Unity, configure your AI client to connect to it. The server typically runs as a local process or over a named pipe.

Example prompts for working with a Unity project through a custom AI tools MCP server.
- "List all GameObjects in the current scene"
- "Create a new cube at position (0, 1, 0) in the scene"
- "What scripts are attached to the Player GameObject?"
- "Find all materials in the project that use the Standard shader"Troubleshooting Unity AI Tools Template
Package not found after OpenUPM install
Ensure OpenUPM CLI is installed globally ('npm install -g openupm-cli') and that you are running the install command from your Unity project root directory where the Packages/manifest.json file exists.
McpPluginToolType attribute not recognized in Unity
Verify the Unity AI Tools base package is properly installed as a dependency. Check your Packages/manifest.json for the dependency entry and refresh packages in the Unity Package Manager window.
MCP client cannot connect to the Unity server
Ensure the Unity Editor is open and the MCP server is running (look for the server status in the Unity editor toolbar or a dedicated window). Check that the command path in your MCP client config points to the correct built server executable.
