dsh-unreal-mcp

When working with Unreal Engine 5.8 and DeepSeek Harness, a recurring gap is a thin, purpose-built bridge that connects DSH's in-box MCP client to Epic's official Unreal MCP server without dragging in a full UE plugin, a DSH fork, or a general-purpose MCP protocol implementation. dsh-unreal-mcp fills exactly that gap: it reuses Unreal's ModelContextProtocol, ToolsetRegistry, and AllToolsets as-is, mounts DSH's MCP Client on top, and keeps the adapter layer deliberately small and single-responsibility.

Three bundled Unreal Skills drive the day-to-day workflow. unreal-mcp discovers and invokes toolsets already present in the editor; create-toolset guides the authoring of C++ or Python toolsets that an AI agent can call; unreal-skill walks you through creating UAgentSkill classes or project-level Skill assets registered inside the editor. Beyond skills, the adapter auto-detects each session's .uproject and UE source tree, injects a concise Unreal context into the system prompt, exposes a single loopback-only endpoint shared by both the context row and the MCP client row, and ships a read-only diagnostic that reports separate errors for a missing project, an unreachable endpoint, absent Tool Search meta-tools, and an empty toolset catalog.

It is built for engine developers practicing AI-agent workflows inside UE 5.8: install once through DSH, and the agent immediately understands project context, calls editor toolsets, authors new toolsets on demand, and pinpoints whether a failure lives in the connection layer or the editor layer, without you hand-rolling MCP glue code.
