| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Follow only the publisher source; credential storage, scopes, and revocation remain under review. | The WebSocket server defaults to localhost:8090. Remote instructions can bind it to 0.0.0.0; no bearer-token or OAuth mechanism is documented. |
| Cost | Publisher plans, API usage, infrastructure, or per-action charges may apply; MCP100 has not published a cost conclusion. | The publisher describes the MIT-licensed project as free and open source. Unity, Node.js, hosting, client, and model costs are separate. |
| Permissions | Exact permissions and read/write boundaries have not completed MCP100 review. | Executes Unity menus and controls scenes, GameObjects, components, materials, assets, packages, tests, logs, play mode, and project-state resources through a WebSocket bridge. |
| Data handling | Candidate-specific retention, subprocess, telemetry, and model-data behavior remain review items. | Unity scenes, assets, project state, and console logs are read or modified locally and returned through MCP. Remote transmission, retention, and telemetry are not documented. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Use a test account, least privilege, read-only controls where available, and explicit approval for mutations. | Can make destructive project changes, install packages, execute menu items, and control play mode. Keep the bridge loopback-only and supervise all writes and deletions in a version-controlled project. |
