Epic Games released an official plugin that lets Claude Code control Unreal Engine directly...

hundreds of editor tools across 30+ toolsets, installed straight from anthropic’s official plugin marketplace.

here’s how to set it up:

- step 1: in claude code run /plugin install unreal-engine-skills-for-claude-code@claude-plugins-official
- step 2: in unreal, enable the modelcontextprotocol and alltoolsets plugins
- step 3: open the editor console and run ModelContextProtocol.StartServer (default port 8000)
- step 4: run ModelContextProtocol.GenerateClientConfig ClaudeCode to create the connection config
- step 5: in claude code run /mcp and check that unreal-mcp is connected
- step 6: test it: “list all actors in the current level”

for teams: add the plugin to .claude/settings.json and everyone who opens the project gets prompted to install it

commit before every long session. claude edits live assets and can move or delete them in one call
