unreal-game-dev

unreal-game-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from IvanMurzak/ai-game-dev-plugin. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,599 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for using an AI coding assistant to create or open Unreal Engine game projects and connect them to ai-game.dev, an online service for AI-assisted game development.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create projects, install the Unreal-MCP plugin, log in to ai-game.dev, and open a connected Unreal Editor.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from installing the connection tools, signing in, naming projects correctly, and opening the editor in the required order.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

unreal-game-dev 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 10d 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.

Unreal Engine — AI Game Dev runbook

This skill teaches your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI) to drive Unreal Engine fully automatically through the unreal-mcp-cli npm package. The goal: take the user from nothing to a running Unreal Editor that is connected to ai-game.dev so the AI can build the game for them.

Every command runs via npx so nothing needs to be installed globally:

npx -y unreal-mcp-cli@latest <command> [args]     # <command> --help shows every flag

Path syntax differs by command: create-project, install-plugin, close, open, and install-extension take the project path as a positional argument; wait-for-ready, status, setup-mcp, setup-skills, and exec take it as -p <path>.

Prerequisites (check first)

  • Node.js 20.19+ or 22.12+ — node --version.
  • Unreal Engine installed (e.g. UE 5.7 via the Epic Games Launcher). The CLI drives an installed engine; it cannot install one unattended (see step 0).
  • A C++ toolchain (Visual Studio on Windows, Xcode on macOS) — the scaffold is a C++ project and open compiles its modules before launching.
  • A free ai-game.dev account — the login step signs this machine in.
  • Windows / macOS / Linux with a real desktop session (the editor opens a window).

Naming rule: an Unreal project/module name cannot contain hyphens (-). The folder path may contain hyphens, but pass a hyphen-free --name (e.g. MyGame, not My-Game).

The automatic end-to-end sequence

Run these in order. The one ordering rule: the editor must start after a successful login (step 4).

0. Check the installed engines

npx -y unreal-mcp-cli@latest install-engine          # list installed engines
npx -y unreal-mcp-cli@latest install-engine 5.7      # is 5.7 installed? if not, links to the Epic launcher

There is no unattended engine installer: a missing version is installed by the user through the Epic Games Launcher (a multi-GB download — confirm first).

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.
