SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires unity-mcp-cli.

What problem does it solve? When developing games in Unity, you often need to visually verify what the Game View currently renders without manually switching to the editor and taking a screenshot yourself. This Skill captures the Game View's render texture directly through the Unity Editor API and returns it as an image for immediate visual inspection. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Direct Render Texture Capture: Reads the Game View's own render texture via the Unity Editor API, so the image matches the current Game View resolution exactly. - LLM Visual Inspection: Returns the captured image directly, allowing an AI assistant to see and reason about the current state of your game scene. - Use Case: While iterating on a Unity scene layout, ask the assistant to capture the Game View after making changes, then get visual feedback on UI placement, lighting, or object positioning without leaving your workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to take a screenshot of the Unity Game View so you can visually check the current state of your game scene.

Frequently Asked Questions about screenshot-game-view

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I take a screenshot of the Unity Game View programmatically?▼

Use the unity-mcp-cli run-tool command with screenshot-game-view to capture the Game View's render texture via the Unity Editor API. The returned image matches the current Game View resolution and can be inspected directly by the AI assistant.

What resolution does a Unity Game View screenshot have?▼

The captured image matches the current Game View resolution exactly, since it reads the Game View's own render texture directly. Changing the Game View size or aspect ratio in the Unity Editor changes the screenshot dimensions accordingly.

Why is unity-mcp-cli not found when running the screenshot command?▼

The unity-mcp-cli package is not installed or not on your PATH. Install it globally with npm install -g unity-mcp-cli, or prefix commands with npx unity-mcp-cli to run it without a global installation.

Does the Unity Game View screenshot require any input parameters?▼

No meaningful input is required. The tool accepts an optional placeholder string field named nothing, and it captures whatever the Game View currently renders without additional configuration.

Can I capture the Unity Scene View instead of the Game View?▼

This tool only reads the Game View's render texture, so it captures the Game View specifically. Capturing the Scene View would require a different tool that targets the Scene View camera or window.
