Build CLI
Build the `unity-mcp-cli` TypeScript project and optionally link it globally.
Step 1 — Install Dependencies
cd cli && npm install
Only needed if `node_modules/` is missing or `package.json` changed.
Step 2 — Build TypeScript
cd cli && npm run build
This compiles `src/**/*.ts` → `dist/**/*.js` via `tsc`.
Step 3 — Link Globally (if `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--link` or first time)
cd cli && npm link
This creates a global symlink so `unity-mcp-cli` is available from any terminal. Only needed once — after that, `npm run build` alone is sufficient.
Step 4 — Verify
unity-mcp-cli --version
Confirm the CLI is accessible and shows the expected version.
Report
Print the version and confirm success. If any step failed, show the error output.
Get up and running in three steps: Install plugin — download the .unitypackage installer or run openupm add com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp Alternative: npx unity-mcp-cli install-plugin ./MyUnityProject — see CLI documentation Pick an AI agent — Claude Code, Claude

Open skill - /assets-copy
Copy assets at given paths and store them at new paths. Refreshes the AssetDatabase at the end. Use 'assets-find' to locate the source assets first.
Open skill - /assets-create-folder
Create a new folder under a parent folder inside 'Assets/'. The parent path must start with 'Assets/' and every intermediate folder in it must already exist. Refreshes the AssetDatabase at the end and returns the GUID(s) of the created folder(s).
Open skill - /assets-delete
Delete the assets at the given project paths. Refreshes the AssetDatabase at the end. Use 'assets-find' to locate the assets first.
Open skill - /assets-find-built-in
Search the built-in assets of the Unity Editor (located at Resources/unity_builtin_extra). Filters by name and/or type; built-in assets have no GUID so GUID-based lookups are not supported.
Open skill - /assets-find
Search the Unity asset database using a search filter string. The filter accepts names, labels (`l:`), types (`t:`), AssetBundles (`b:`), areas (`a:`), and globs (`glob:`). See the body for the full filter syntax.
