[Italiano](README.it.md)

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an AI agent drive
Unreal Engine 5: create projects, import assets, build levels and Blueprints,
configure replication, compile C++, run Play In Editor and package the game.

**No C++ plugin to compile.** It uses two plugins that already ship with the
engine — *Python Editor Script Plugin* and *Remote Control API* — and talks to
the editor over local HTTP.

```
                    ┌─ LOCAL layer  ── processes + public HTTP
                    │    UnrealEditor.exe, UnrealBuildTool, RunUAT, asset downloads
Agent ──stdio──▶ MCP │
                    └─ EDITOR layer ── HTTP :30010 (Remote Control API)
                         └─ ExecutePythonCommandEx → running editor
```

The local layer exists because the Remote Control API only works against an
editor that is **already running**: creating a project, launching it, compiling
and packaging all have to happen at the process level.

- **162 tools** and **5 resources** — [full reference](docs/TOOLS.md)
- **435 tests**, none of which need Unreal installed
- **[Unreal automation notes](docs/UNREAL-NOTES.md)** — the API traps found the hard way

---

## Requirements

- Unreal Engine **5.0 or newer** (developed and tested against 5.8 — see
  [version compatibility](#unreal-version-compatibility))
- Python 3.10+
- Windows, Linux or macOS. Development happens on Windows, which is where the
  local layer is exercised most; the Linux and macOS paths (`Build.sh`,
  `RunUAT.sh`, `pgrep`) are implemented and covered by CI, but less battle-tested.
  The editor layer is platform-neutral.
