## MCP Setup

### Prerequisites

- Unreal Engine 5.0–5.8 according to the README; preview support is version-specific.
- Native MCP Automation Bridge plugin; a code target is required to compile from source.

### Companion app or plugin

Name: MCP Automation Bridge
Install URL: https://github.com/ChiR24/Unreal_mcp/tree/main/plugins/McpAutomationBridge

- Install and enable the plugin in the Unreal project.
- Enable the native MCP HTTP transport and confirm the server status in the editor.

Native transport does not require the optional Node.js TypeScript bridge.

### Client setup

#### Claude Code

Transport: `http`

```bash
claude mcp add unreal-engine --transport http http://localhost:3000/mcp
```

Default native plugin endpoint; adjust it if you change the plugin port.
#### Cursor

Transport: `http`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unreal-engine": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
