What is mcp-unity AGENTS.md?

Developer guidance for MCP Unity, which lets AI tools control parts of the Unity Editor. Unity is software for building games and interactive 3D applications; MCP is a way for AI clients to call tools and access resources.

Use it when adding, changing, or debugging tools and resources that connect an MCP client to the Unity Editor.

It explains how the Node server communicates with Unity, where settings live, and which names and execution rules must stay consistent.

How CoderGamester/mcp-unity configures Codex and OpenCode

About the project

MCP Unity is a bridge between the Unity Editor and AI coding assistants through the Model Context Protocol, allowing agents to query and manipulate Unity scenes and GameObjects. Unity developers use it with assistants such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot, and the catalogue entries provide instructions for working with it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02750	$0.02750
Opus 5.5	$0.01100	$0.01100
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00550	$0.00550

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-unity AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MCP Unity — AI Agent Guide (MCP Package)

Purpose (what this repo is)

MCP Unity exposes Unity Editor capabilities to MCP-enabled clients by running:

Unity-side “client” (C# Editor scripts): a WebSocket server inside the Unity Editor that executes tools/resources.
Node-side “server” (TypeScript): an MCP stdio server that registers MCP tools/resources and forwards requests to Unity over WebSocket.

How it works (high-level data flow)

MCP client ⇄ (stdio / MCP SDK) ⇄ Node server (Server~/src/index.ts)
Node server ⇄ (WebSocket JSON-RPC-ish) ⇄ Unity Editor (Editor/UnityBridge/McpUnityServer.cs + McpUnitySocketHandler.cs)
Tool/Resource names must match exactly across Node and Unity (typically lower_snake_case).

Key defaults & invariants

Unity WebSocket endpoint: ws://localhost:8090/McpUnity by default.
Config file: ProjectSettings/McpUnitySettings.json (written/read by Unity; read opportunistically by Node).
Authentication token: Library/McpUnity/bridge-token (256-bit hex secret; never commit or copy into project settings).
Handshake security: clients authenticate as mcp-unity:<token> with HTTP Basic and must omit Origin; every supplied Origin is rejected.
Execution thread: Tool/resource execution is dispatched via EditorCoroutineUtility and runs on the Unity main thread. Keep synchronous work short; use async patterns for long work.
