unreal-engine
v4.0.0by arg-software-factory · author: Artyx
Operate a live Unreal Editor over MCP through Unreal Engine 5.8's native in-editor MCP server: spawn actors, build and compile Blueprints, compose levels, configure lighting, inspect Slate widgets, and run automation tests. Connects to the editor's local HTTP endpoint, no third-party server to install. The bundled skills lean into list-first, compile-then-spawn discipline because editor writes silently no-op more than any other DCC.
What unreal-engine does, in the publisher's words
Unreal Engine 5.8 ships a native MCP server inside the editor. Artyx connects to it directly over local HTTP, there is no third-party server to install.
Install instructions: Unreal MCP in the Unreal Editor
That URL is interface.docsUrl in plugin.json, and it is what the desktop's "How to install" button opens. Epic owns the enable-the-plugin and start-the-server procedure; it is not mirrored here or in the manifest.

- unreal-assets-materials
- Create, import, validate, and optimize Unreal Engine 5.6+ assets and materials. Use for FBX or glTF ingestion, texture settings, PBR material graphs, Material Instances, Nanite, virtual textures, asset references, or content quality checks.
- unreal-blueprints-cpp
- Build Unreal Engine 5.6+ gameplay with Blueprints and C++. Use for actors, components, input, communication, collision, movement, gameplay events, network replication, debugging, or choosing a native implementation boundary.
- unreal-cinematics
- Create Unreal Engine 5.6+ cinematics and final renders. Use for Level Sequences, Sequencer tracks, Cine Camera, Control Rig animation, camera cuts, shot organization, Movie Render Queue, Movie Render Graph, or render-quality validation.
- unreal-engine-mcp
- Operate a connected Unreal Editor safely through Epic's experimental native Unreal MCP server in UE 5.8. Use for tool discovery, actor and asset edits, material-instance work, editor inspection, or automation through the live MCP surface.
- unreal-lighting-rendering
- Light, render, and diagnose an Unreal Engine 5.6+ scene. Use for Lumen, light mobility, exposure, post process, reflections, shadows, Nanite interactions, GPU debugging, renderer selection, or frame-quality tradeoffs.
- unreal-overview
- Route Unreal Engine 5.6+ work to the right Artyx skill. Use for choosing a production workflow across C++, Blueprints, rendering, animation, worlds, cinematics, performance, packaging, or the experimental UE 5.8 native MCP server.
- unreal-performance-packaging
- Measure, optimize, test, cook, package, and ship Unreal Engine 5.6+ projects. Use for Unreal Insights, CPU/GPU/memory bottlenecks, automation tests, configuration, cooking, packaging, staging, target-platform verification, or release regressions.
- unreal-project-architecture
- Design or refactor a maintainable Unreal Engine 5.6+ project. Use for Gameplay Framework choices, C++ versus Blueprint boundaries, modules, plugins, Data Assets, asset ownership, input, or scalable project structure.
- unreal-world-building
- Build scalable Unreal Engine 5.6+ levels and open worlds. Use for level assembly, actor placement, World Partition, Data Layers, One File Per Actor, HLOD, Landscape, foliage, PCG, streaming, or environment validation.

Drive the Godot engine over the published @coding-solo/godot-mcp server: launch its own headless Godot to open the editor, run projects in debug mode, inspect scene and project structure, edit scenes and nodes, and stream back runtime errors and debug output. It does not attach to an already-open editor, point it at your Godot 4 executable and iterate.
Operate a live Unity Editor over MCP: build scene hierarchies, add components, author C# scripts, manage assets, and smoke-test in Play Mode. The bundled skills' guardrails stop a build from wiping its own scene.
Drive a live Blender 5.1+ session through the official Blender Lab MCP server: inspect blend files and objects, run bpy code, search the bundled Python API and manual, capture viewport screenshots, and verify every change. The client starts the server itself over stdio; the artist only opens Blender with the Lab MCP add-on enabled.
Production rules for turning a model into a game-ready asset: triangle, material, and bone budgets per platform with LOD chains; clean topology, normals, and UVs; texel density and texture sizes; PBR texture naming, channel packing, and compression; and export settings for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and Blender. Skills only: nothing to install or connect.
Inspect, preview, retexture, restore, and semantically compile authorized GoldSrc Studio Model MDL v10 assets through a local external adapter. Exact restoration preserves the opaque native bundle; edited exports use explicit StudioMDL profiles and structural validation rather than pretending GLB is a universal inverse format.
Connect an externally installed Artyx RAGE asset adapter to local Grand Theft Auto V files. The experimental integration discovers YTD texture dictionaries and YDR, YDD, or YFT model bundles, creates Artyx-compatible previews, applies targeted texture patches, authors validated vehicle-livery projections, and exports native bundles without treating GLB as a lossless source format.
