How to Set Up and Use Unreal Claude
UnrealClaude is an Unreal Engine 5.7 editor plugin that embeds Claude Code CLI directly into the UE editor, giving game developers AI coding assistance with live, accurate UE 5.7 API documentation fetched on demand. It exposes 20+ MCP tools for actor manipulation, Blueprint editing, level and material management, asset search, C++ script compilation, and more — all from within the Unreal editor without switching to a terminal. Developers use it to speed up C++ and Blueprint authoring in UE5.7 projects by delegating repetitive engine tasks to an AI agent that understands the actual UE API.
Prerequisites
- Unreal Engine 5.7 installed (the plugin targets UE 5.7 specifically)
- Claude Code CLI installed globally: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
- Anthropic account with Claude Code subscription or API access (run claude auth login after install)
- Node.js 18+ and npm for the MCP bridge dependency installation
- Unreal Automation Tool (UAT) available for building the plugin from source
Install Claude Code CLI and authenticate
Install the Claude Code CLI globally via npm and authenticate with your Anthropic account before setting up the plugin.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude auth login
claude --versionClone the UnrealClaude plugin repository
Clone the repository to your local machine. You will then build it or copy it into your Unreal project.
git clone https://github.com/Natfii/UnrealClaude.gitBuild the plugin using UAT
Compile the plugin for your platform using the Unreal Automation Tool. Replace the paths with your actual Unreal Engine installation and desired output directory.
# Windows example:
"C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.7\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat" BuildPlugin -Plugin="C:\Path\To\UnrealClaude\UnrealClaude.uplugin" -Package="C:\Output\UnrealClaude" -TargetPlatforms=Win64Install the plugin into your Unreal project
Copy the built plugin into your project's Plugins directory (recommended) for project-level scope, then re-open the project and enable the plugin when prompted.
# Copy to your project:
mkdir -p YourProject/Plugins/UnrealClaude
cp -r C:\Output\UnrealClaude\* YourProject/Plugins/UnrealClaude/Install MCP bridge dependencies
Navigate to the plugin's mcp-bridge directory and install its Node.js dependencies. This bridge is required for Blueprint tools and editor integration.
cd YourProject/Plugins/UnrealClaude/Resources/mcp-bridge
npm installEnable auto-approve and add a CLAUDE.md (optional)
In Unreal Editor go to Project Settings → Plugins → Unreal Claude to configure auto-approve for script execution. Create a CLAUDE.md in your project root to give Claude project-specific architecture context.
# Create project context file:
echo '# MyGame Architecture

- "Create a new Blueprint class inheriting from Character and add a float variable called Health"
- "Search for all assets of type StaticMesh with 'Rock' in the name"
- "Write a C++ function that moves the player forward at a given speed, compile it, and show me any errors"
- "What is the correct UE 5.7 API for binding a delegate to an input action?"Troubleshooting Unreal Claude
Plugin fails to load with 'missing module' errors after building
Regenerate Visual Studio project files by right-clicking the .uproject file and selecting 'Generate Visual Studio project files', then rebuild the project. Ensure your Unreal Engine version matches 5.7 exactly.
Claude Code commands are not available inside the editor
Verify claude is in your system PATH (run claude --version in a terminal). The editor inherits the PATH from the shell that launched it; on macOS you may need to set PATH in /etc/launchd.conf or launch the editor from a terminal.
MCP bridge npm install fails with node-gyp errors
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed and that build tools are available (Visual Studio Build Tools on Windows, Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS). Run npm install --ignore-scripts as a fallback if native modules are not required.
