SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires unity-mcp-cli.

What problem does it solve? Adding packages to a Unity project normally requires opening the Package Manager UI or manually editing manifest.json. This Skill installs Unity packages programmatically through the unity-mcp-cli, handling registry IDs, Git URLs, and local paths while managing the domain reload that follows installation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multiple Package Sources: Install from the Unity registry (plain or version-pinned IDs like com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6), Git URLs with optional branch/tag refs, or local file paths. - Async Processing Model: Returns immediately with a requestId and delivers the final result after the domain reload completes, so installations never block your workflow. - Use Case: You are setting up a new Unity project and need TextMeshPro, Input System, and a custom internal package from a Git repository. Issue install commands for each and receive confirmation once the project reloads with all packages resolved. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to install the TextMeshPro package into your Unity project using the package-add tool with package ID com.unity.textmeshpro.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install a Unity package from the command line?▼

Run unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-add with a JSON input containing the packageId, such as com.unity.textmeshpro. The tool modifies manifest.json, triggers package resolution, and returns the result after the domain reload finishes.

Why does Unity reload after installing a package?▼

Package installation modifies manifest.json and triggers package resolution, which can cause a domain reload. The tool returns Processing immediately with a requestId and delivers the final result after the reload completes.

What to do when unity-mcp-cli is not found?▼

Install it globally with npm install -g unity-mcp-cli, or invoke it through npx unity-mcp-cli instead. The unity-initial-setup skill contains detailed installation instructions.
