ue-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ue-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from db-lyon/ue-mcp. It costs 7,277 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository instructions for db-lyon/ue-mcp, a project that connects coding agents with Unreal Engine. It explains the server, Unreal plugin, test project, documentation, editing boundaries, development workflow, and Git rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing the TypeScript server or Unreal plugin, deploying and testing changes, updating documentation, following repository conventions, and preparing releases.
Why use it?
It gives agents a shared map of the repository and prevents common mistakes such as editing generated copies or testing against the wrong Unreal project.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is db-lyon/ue-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ue-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ue-mcp configures →

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ue-mcp CLAUDE.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 today.

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.

CLAUDE.md

Operating guide for Claude Code (and any AI agent) working in this repo. Shared team knowledge - checked into the repo so every contributor gets the same rulebook.

Repo at a glance

  • TS server (src/) - the MCP server. Wraps the UE bridge over WebSocket, exposes 30 category tools with 2111+ actions. The numbers between those markers are stamped by scripts/generate-tool-metadata.ts from ALL_TOOLS; do not hand-edit them, and do not remove the markers, because a hand-written count here is the first thing every agent reads and the last thing anyone remembers to update.
  • C++ plugin (plugin/ue_mcp_bridge/) - the editor-side bridge. Lives in Private/Handlers/<Category>/*.cpp, registers actions with FMCPHandlerRegistry.
  • Test project (tests/ue_mcp/) - the dedicated UE project used for smoke testing. The plugin is deployed here from plugin/ via the deployer. This is the only safe target for live tests.
  • Docs (docs/) - MkDocs site. Release bodies are drafted outside the repo (see Release process).

Edit only under plugin/ue_mcp_bridge/. The deployer syncs to tests/ue_mcp/Plugins/UE_MCP_Bridge/ - never hand-copy.

The in-editor client lives elsewhere

The paid in-editor client (its UI, the daemon extension that runs its agent, the UE_MCP_Studio editor plugin, the model gateway and billing) lives in the private db-lyon/ue-mcp-studio repo. Dependencies run one way:

  • This repo never depends on it, imports from it, or carries code only it needs. A feature Studio wants goes in here as a general one the free path can use.
  • Studio reaches ue-mcp only through the ue-mcp/daemon export and the daemon's HTTP API, both versioned (DAEMON_API_VERSION, EXTENSION_API_VERSION). Change them additively, or bump the version.

Development workflow

Git and commits

  • Atomic commits per logical change. One fix or feature per commit with a clear message explaining the why. Don't batch unrelated changes.
  • No batching "housekeeping" commits that sweep up everything at once. If you wrote five fixes, write five commits.
  • Claude owns git. Stage, commit, push when ready. Don't push the user into running git commands.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
