How can an AI agent control Unity?

If you mean an MCP-compatible AI agent operating a live Unity session—not merely explaining a tutorial or generating a one-off script—DCC-MCP can inspect projects and automate scenes, GameObjects, components, assets, tests, and builds. DCC-MCP performs work through discoverable typed tools, instance routing, and result validation.

Unity MCP and Unity CLI

The Unity MCP endpoint and Unity CLI workflow share the same DCC-MCP adapter and typed tool catalog. A Unity CLI workflow uses the shared dcc-mcp-cli with --dcc-type unity to select the live Unity host; it is not a second, incompatible command line.

dcc-mcp-cli search --query "inventory scenes, assets, and project settings" --dcc-type unity

Vendor-native AI capabilities

For Unity and Tuanjie AI projects, the unity-tuanjie-ai Skill inspects the native Codely CustomTool catalog and only executes a tool from a fresh inspection result. Tuanjie owns sign-in, credits, downloads, and task recovery; DCC-MCP owns typed discovery, routing, and verification around those vendor capabilities.

What can an AI agent do in Unity?

• inventory scenes, assets, and project settings.
• build one small playable interaction.
• enter Play Mode and verify behavior before a build.

Capabilities change with the adapter version and loaded Skills. Search and describe tools first instead of guessing current tool names from this page.

Safe operating flow

1. Install and follow the public dcc-mcp Skill.
2. Inspect the existing CLI, adapter, and live hosts; obtain consent before installing software or changing system state.
3. Use health, dcc-types, and list to verify the Gateway and target instance.
4. Search and describe tools for the actual Unity task, then follow every returned next_step.
5. Make one bounded change and verify it through host state, files, previews, logs, or rendered output.

Copyable prompt

Use the dcc-mcp Skill to connect to my Unity session. Inspect the existing CLI, adapter, and live instance first; ask before installing software or changing system state. Search for and describe typed tools related to "build one small playable interaction", then follow every returned next_step. Do not delete, overwrite, or publish existing work. Make the smallest verifiable change, validate enter Play Mode and verify behavior before a build, and report the instance, tool, result, and evidence path.

Current availability and official source

The current release catalog uses unity as the host identifier. Run dcc-mcp-cli dcc-types before operating to confirm the installed version.

• Unity adapter repository: source of truth for installation, compatibility, host-specific capabilities, and troubleshooting.
• All AI + DCC control guides: return to every public application and pipeline integration.
• Agent workflow: shared discovery, call, validation, and diagnostic steps.

This page owns the shared Agent workflow and GEO entry point. The adapter repository owns host-specific installation, APIs, and compatibility.
