Unity Code MCP Server v0.2-preview Release Notes

✨ What’s New for You?

The 0.2 release focuses on making your AI agent smarter out-of-the-box and giving you better tools directly inside the Unity Editor.

• Teach Your Agent, Once: Ship a built-in skill file (executing-csharp-scripts-in-unity-editor) that codifies best practices for script execution, log reading, and test running. Install it into any AI agent workspace (Copilot, Claude, etc.) with a single click — no manual copy-paste.
• Save Your Favourite Scripts: A new Favourite Scripts window lets you save, load, and run C# scripts directly from the Unity Editor. Build a personal library of automation scripts without relying on an AI agent for every repetitive task.
• Accurate Console Logs: The read_unity_console_logs tool now reads directly from the live Unity Console window instead of the on-disk log file. Logs are always scoped to the current project and delivered in tail order (oldest → newest), matching what you actually see in the Editor.

⚠️ Breaking Changes & Migration

This release has no breaking changes. All existing MCP client configurations remain valid.

🚀 Key Improvements

🧠 Skills System

• SkillsInstaller: New installer class that copies bundled skill folders into any target directory. Files whose content is unchanged are skipped, so updates are always additive and safe to re-run.
• Settings UI: The Settings inspector now includes a dedicated Skills section with preset quick-select buttons for common agent paths (.github/skills/, .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/) and a Custom folder picker for any other location.
• SkillsTargetPath Setting: New field in UnityCodeMcpServerSettings stores your chosen install path across sessions. Access via Tools > UnityCodeMcpServer > Show Settings.
• Built-in Skill — executing-csharp-scripts-in-unity-editor: A comprehensive Markdown skill document covering:
  • Which tool to use and when (execute_csharp_script_in_unity_editor, read_unity_console_logs, run_unity_tests)
  • Core scripting rules (top-level statements, synchronous-only, idempotency)
  • Forbidden anti-patterns (fake output, async, background threads)
  • Common scripting patterns and a debugging loop

🖥 Favourite Scripts Window (New Editor Tool)

• Menu: Tools > UnityCodeMcpServer > Favourite Scripts
• Save named C# scripts to a persistent JSON file (.unityCodeMcpServer/favouriteScripts.json) at the project root.
• Select a saved script from a dropdown, edit it inline, and run it immediately via ScriptExecutionService — the same execution path used by the MCP tool.
• Supports Save, Reload, Delete, and Run actions with a scrollable code editor area.

📋 Console Log Reading Fix

• UnityConsoleLogReader: New shared helper that reads log entries directly from Unity’s internal ConsoleWindow.ConsoleWindowReflectHelper via reflection, replacing the previous on-disk log file approach.
  • Logs are now project-scoped — no cross-project contamination when multiple Unity instances are open.
  • Entries are returned in tail order, consistent with how the Console window displays them.
  • Both ReadUnityConsoleLogsTool and UnityConsoleLogsResource now delegate to this single reader, eliminating duplicated logic.

🏗 Infrastructure & Testing

• Added UnityConsoleLogReaderTests covering tail selection, formatting, and error handling.
• Added SkillsInstallerTests covering install, skip-unchanged, update, and error paths.
• ReadUnityConsoleLogsToolTests updated to reflect the new reader behaviour.
