I see a lot of effort from Unreal and Unity in making it easier to generate images and animations, but none in the development itself. Neither engine has implemented an official MCP (Model Context Protocol), making it impossible for AI models to directly assist in development. What we have are open-…

The work that has been done so far with AI is largely standalone. Generate code, troubleshoot this, make a picture of that, etc. How could it generate objects, update navmeshes, repaint terrain, place trees, etc? The API required to bridge the gap there is significant and even if it were already spl…

And probably this means Unity is building the MCP for the Unity Editor, and if so, I’d expect them to eventually license this out to other AIs. Though I expect them to first ensure…

I’m excited to share that my project, AI Game Developer - MCP , has become the most popular MCP for Unity, recently re…
