Unreal MCP Overview

Unreal-MCP MCP server connects MCP-aware AI agents to Unreal Editor through a C++ plugin and a .NET sidecar bridge. Agents can inspect and modify projects, including actors, levels, Blueprints, assets, and C++ code, and can receive structured compile feedback or visual screenshots. The bridge communicates with either the hosted ai-game.dev backend or a self-hosted GameDev-MCP-Server over localhost IPC. Reach for it when an agent needs to operate an Unreal Engine 5.5+ project rather than only edit files externally.

Primary Use Cases for Unreal MCP:

Inspect Unreal actors, components, assets, levels, and editor state
Author and compile Blueprints with structured feedback
Edit and compile Unreal C++ through Live Coding or UBT
Capture editor and game-view screenshots for agent review
