Unreal Development

Blueprint Visual Scripting

• Generate Blueprint classes from specifications
• Create Blueprint function libraries
• Design Blueprint interfaces
• Build reusable Blueprint macros
• Generate data-only Blueprints

Actor and Component System

• Create and modify Actors programmatically
• Design component hierarchies
• Implement tick and lifecycle management
• Set up actor replication for multiplayer

Level Design

• Create and modify levels
• Place actors and configure properties
• Set up level streaming
• Configure World Partition settings

Build System

• Configure build settings for multiple platforms
• Create build scripts using BuildGraph
• Set up CI/CD pipelines
• Manage platform-specific configurations

Prerequisites

Unreal Engine Installation

• Unreal Engine 5.0 or higher recommended
• Visual Studio 2022 with C++ game development workload
• .NET 6.0 SDK for tooling

MCP Server (Recommended)

For direct Unreal Editor integration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unreal": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "unreal_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "UNREAL_PROJECT_PATH": "/path/to/project.uproject"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative MCP servers:

• UnrealMCP (kvick-games) - TCP server with JSON commands
• unreal-mcp (chongdashu) - Natural language control
• Unreal_mcp (ChiR24) - C++ Automation Bridge

Usage Patterns

Creating an Actor Class (C++)

// MyCharacter.h
#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "GameFramework/Character.h"
#include "MyCharacter.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class MYGAME_API AMyCharacter : public ACharacter
{
    GENERATED_BODY()
