Control every aspect of Unreal Engine 5 with natural language. 16 MCP + cu CLI for 501 commands. Zero boilerplate. Powered by Claude Code, or any MCP client.
A comprehensive MCP plugin that bridges Claude AI with every corner of Unreal Engine.
Hybrid MCP + cu CLI surface across scenes, blueprints, materials, animation, AI, terrain, UI, physics, packaging, and 65 subcategories.
Describe what you want in plain English — Claude automatically picks the right tools and executes them.
Built on Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with Claude Code and Claude Desktop.
Not locked to Claude. Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Antigravity, or any MCP-capable agent can drive the editor over the same TCP bridge.
Optionally mount ClaudeUnreal's tools onto Epic's built-in UE 5.8 MCP server via the Toolset Registry — run a single server. Early preview.
TCP live connection with instant feedback. Operate directly inside the Editor — what you say is what you get.
C++ Handler → Bridge → Python MCP. Stable, extensible, and easy to add your own custom tools.
The same plugin runs on both Unreal Engine 5.7 and 5.8 — Nanite, World Partition, Enhanced Input, Lumen/MegaLights, and more.
Built-in Claude Code terminal inside Unreal Editor. No window switching — AI lives right in your editor.
Plugin auto-writes .mcp.json, Claude settings, and tool permissions on startup. Zero manual setup required.
Enable "Skip Permissions" in Project Settings to let Claude execute all actions without prompts — fully autonomous workflow.
Claude doesn't just edit — it runs your game, reads the output, and fixes the problem.
65 subcategories covering every aspect of Unreal Engine — from spawning actors to packaging builds.
Describe an outcome — like an entire town — and let the agent plan, preview, refine, and commit it, instead of driving every atomic tool call by hand.
Explore workflows →First-hand, hands-on knowledge of popular Fab packages ships inside the plugin. Flip one switch and Claude stops guessing at package internals.

SmartBrush terrain sculpting, distance mountains, auto-material and foliage — Brushify workflows that actually stick.
View on Fab ↗Four simple steps to connect Claude AI with your Unreal Engine editor.
Get the ClaudeUnreal plugin from FAB Marketplace and enable it in your Unreal project.
The MCP server is auto-configured by the plugin. You just need Python 3.10+ and uv installed locally.
The plugin auto-writes .mcp.json on startup. You must have a paid Claude Code or Claude Desktop subscription (Pro/Team/Enterprise). The plugin does not include Claude access.
Auto-configuredOpen Unreal Editor, verify the connection, and start building with natural language.
Silent screen demos — Blueprints, actors, input wiring, Niagara, UMG, materials, PCG forests, and cinematic camera work, all driven by an AI agent through Claude Code.
With the Brushify and Ultra Dynamic Sky skills switched on, three plain sentences raise a peak, ring it with six SmartBrush mountains — Claude asks first when the peak is too big — and set golden hour; a dragged mountain reshapes the terrain live.
Watch on YouTubeOne switch in the toolbar menu registers the plugin with OpenAI Codex. Codex then builds and frames a still life over MCP, flips the viewport through the cu CLI, and opens the shot in the Preview tab.
Watch on YouTube/cu:wall draws a ring on the hill in wall modules, then stands eighty kit pieces along it — towers on every corner, the crest held level between them — and adds a gate that replaces exactly one module.
Watch on YouTube/cu:kit turns 125 loose Fab meshes into one tileable castle wall: Claude measures every part, picks which plays which role by looking at it, and you answer three times before it bakes.

Everything you need to know about ClaudeUnreal.
ClaudeUnreal supports UE 5.7 and 5.8 — the same plugin runs on both. We continuously track new Unreal Engine releases and update the plugin accordingly.
Yes. You need to purchase access to Claude Code or Claude Desktop with MCP support (Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plans). This plugin does not include a Claude subscription — you must buy your own plan from Anthropic.
No. Under the hood it is just an MCP server plus a cu CLI talking to a TCP bridge inside the editor, so any MCP-capable agent can drive it — Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Antigravity, or your own. Claude Code simply gets auto-configured out of the box. See Use with any MCP client.
Yes. On UE 5.8, Project Settings > Plugins > Claude Unreal adds an MCP Mode selector. Mount on official registers ClaudeUnreal's tools onto Epic's built-in MCP server through the Toolset Registry, so your agent talks to a single server. It mounts a few hot-path tools today; the default Standalone mode keeps the full hybrid MCP + cu CLI surface. See Mount on UE 5.8's official MCP server.
Yes! The three-layer architecture (C++ Handler → Bridge → Python MCP) is designed for extensibility. You can add new tools by implementing a C++ command handler, routing it in the bridge, and registering a Python MCP tool function.
macOS is the primary supported platform with full testing and optimization. Windows support is available, but you should evaluate compatibility with your setup before purchasing. The Python MCP server is cross-platform compatible.
Yes — support is available through GitHub Issues for bug reports and feature requests. We also maintain documentation that covers installation, tool reference, and common workflows.
Yes, every purchase includes the complete C++ plugin source and Python MCP server source. You can inspect, modify, and extend every part of the system.
This happens when claude or uv are installed in a non-standard location that the plugin's hardcoded search list doesn't cover — for example, via nvm (e.g. ~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.14.0/bin), a custom Homebrew prefix, or Windows npm. To fix it, open Project Settings > Plugins > Claude Unreal > Extra Binary Search Paths and add the directory containing your binary. For example, add /Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v22.14.0/bin for nvm-managed installations. These paths are prepended to PATH when the terminal launches.
No. You can run Claude Code from any system terminal — iTerm, Terminal.app, VS Code integrated terminal, tmux, etc. Just open your terminal in the UE project directory and run "claude". As long as Unreal Editor is running with the plugin enabled, all 501 commands across the hybrid MCP + cu CLI surface work identically — including screenshots, blueprint creation, and actor control. The only difference is the embedded terminal shows a real-time context bar displaying your current selection and play mode state.
