SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires unity-mcp-cli.

What problem does it solve? When working with a Unity MCP server, it is hard to know which tools are available and what inputs each one accepts. This Skill enumerates all registered MCP tools so you can discover capabilities without reading server source code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tool Discovery: List every MCP tool exposed by the connected Unity MCP server. - Regex Filtering: Narrow results by matching a regex against tool names, descriptions, and argument metadata. - Detail Control: Optionally include tool descriptions and input argument schemas in the output. - Use Case: Before automating a Unity editor task, run the tool with a regex like "scene" to find all scene-related tools and inspect their required inputs. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to list all available MCP tools matching a keyword such as "gameobject" including their descriptions and input arguments.

Frequently Asked Questions about tool-list

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I list all available MCP tools in Unity?▼

Run unity-mcp-cli run-tool tool-list with an empty or minimal JSON input to return every registered MCP tool. Add the includeDescription and includeInputs options to see what each tool does and which arguments it accepts.

How to filter MCP tools by keyword or regex?▼

Pass a regexSearch string in the input JSON, and the tool matches it against tool names, descriptions, and argument names and descriptions. For example, "regexSearch": "scene" returns only scene-related tools.

What should I do if unity-mcp-cli is not found?▼

Install the CLI globally with npm install -g unity-mcp-cli, or prefix commands with npx unity-mcp-cli. The unity-initial-setup skill contains detailed installation instructions.

Can I see the input arguments each MCP tool accepts?▼

Yes, set includeInputs to "Inputs" or "InputsWithDescription" in the request. The output then includes each tool's argument names and, optionally, their descriptions.

Does tool-list modify the Unity project or scene?▼

No, tool-list is a read-only discovery operation. It only queries the MCP server for registered tool metadata and returns it as JSON without changing any Unity state.
