Patina Unity MCP

Control the Unity Editor from any MCP host. One package install, one click, and your AI assistant can see your scene, create objects, and talk to the console. Its 40 documented tools cover prefab, game, scene, asset. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with prefab, game and scene and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in C#.

01 · Install Patina Unity MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add taygunsavas-patina-unity-mcp -- npx -y com.taygunsavas.patina-unity-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taygunsavas-patina-unity-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "com.taygunsavas.patina-unity-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
