Patina Unity MCP server

Lets your AI look at and change your Unity project: scenes, objects, prefabs, scripts and console.

Patina connects your AI assistant to the Unity Editor, the program where you build games and 3D scenes. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI to look at your scene, create objects, or check the console, and it does it inside Unity for you. It is handy for game developers and anyone who works in Unity all day.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another app. Patina is that helper for Unity: it sits between your AI tool and the Unity Editor and passes your requests back and forth. So when you ask your AI to do something in Unity, Patina is what actually carries the request into the editor and brings the answer back.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your Unity project, like showing the scene or creating a cube. Your AI sends that request to Patina, which is running quietly on your computer. Patina passes it to a small bridge inside Unity, and Unity does the work on its main thread. The result, like a list of objects or a confirmation, comes back and shows up in your chat.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Create a cube at position 0, 2, 0”, on your own computer the Patina Unity MCP server works with unity project, and you get back answers in your chat.

What it gives back to you

You get answers right in your chat, in plain text or as lists. For example, the scene hierarchy comes back as a tree of objects, and console logs come back as a list of messages. When you ask it to change something, like creating a cube, it tells you what it did. Some tools also return details like component properties, asset info, or test results.
