AI Game Developer — GameDev MCP Server
Engine-agnostic Model Context Protocol server shared by the game-engine MCP plugins:
- Unity-MCP — Unity Editor & games
- Godot-MCP — Godot Editor & games
- Unreal-MCP — Unreal Editor & games
It is a thin host over the NuGet packages com.IvanMurzak.McpPlugin.Server and com.IvanMurzak.ReflectorNet, where all the real server logic lives. The server bridges MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, …) and an engine plugin over SignalR:
MCP client <-> gamedev-mcp-server <-> (SignalR) <-> engine plugin (Unity / Godot / Unreal)
There is no engine-specific code in this package — one server binary serves all three engine plugins. Tools, resources and prompts are provided dynamically by whichever engine plugin connects.
Not to be confused with AI-Game-Dev-Server — the cloud LLM/billing proxy. This project is the local MCP stdio/http proxy host.
Install
dotnet tool (this package)
dotnet tool install --global com.IvanMurzak.GameDev.MCP.Server
gamedev-mcp-server --port 8080
Typical MCP client configuration (stdio):
{
"mcpServers": {
"GameDev-MCP": {
"command": "gamedev-mcp-server",
"args": ["--port=8080", "--client-transport=stdio"]
}
}
}
Docker
docker run -i --rm -p 8080:8080 aigamedeveloper/mcp-server

./gamedev-mcp-server --port 8080 --client-transport stdio
Configuration
CLI arguments override environment variables.
| Environment variable | CLI argument | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
MCP_PLUGIN_PORT |
--port |
8080 |
Client to Server to Plugin connection port |
MCP_PLUGIN_CLIENT_TIMEOUT |
--plugin-timeout |
10000 |
Plugin to Server connection timeout (ms) |
MCP_PLUGIN_CLIENT_TRANSPORT |
--client-transport |
stdio |
Client to Server transport: stdio or streamableHttp |
MCP_PLUGIN_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS |
--idle-timeout-seconds |
21600 |
streamableHttp idle-session eviction window |
MCP_AUTH |
--auth |
transport-dependent | Authentication mode: none or oauth (stdio → none; http → oauth when issuer + public-url set) |
MCP_AUTH_ISSUER |
--auth-issuer |
— | OAuth authorization-server URL. Required for oauth |
MCP_PUBLIC_URL |
--public-url |
— | Canonical public URL / token audience. Required for oauth |
MCP_BIND |
--bind |
loopback |
Bind address: loopback, any (0.0.0.0), or a specific IP |
MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS |
--allowed-origins |
— | Additional allowed browser Origins (comma/semicolon-separated) |
In stdio mode console logging is redirected to stderr so stdout stays clean for the MCP JSON stream.
Write a pinned, URL-only MCP client config for an AI agent from the terminal:
gamedev-mcp-server configure --agent claude-code (or --agent codex --url https://ai-game.dev/mcp; configure --help lists all agents).
Compatibility
| GameDev-MCP-Server | McpPlugin.Server | ReflectorNet | Engine plugins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.0.3 (released) | 6.11.0 | 5.3.1 | engine plugins on McpPlugin 6.x |
| 9.0.0 (released) | 7.0.0-preview.1 | 5.3.2 | engine plugins on McpPlugin 7.x (Phase 4) |
The released 9.0.0 server line builds against McpPlugin.Server 7.0.0-preview.1 (the OAuth resource-server major). The main branch is now an in-development 9.1.0 snapshot building against McpPlugin.Server 7.1.1; its version bump + publish is a separate owner-gated release step. Older McpPlugin 6.x engine plugins pair with the released 8.0.3 server line.
