How do I install Openclaw Unreal Plugin?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Openclaw Unreal Plugin need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does Openclaw Unreal Plugin use?

Openclaw Unreal Plugin runs locally over stdio.

When was Openclaw Unreal Plugin last checked?

Last checked 2026-10-27. 36 MCP tools to drive the Unreal Editor from any MCP-compatible AI agent — levels, actors, components, assets, and console. OpenClaw gateway included for remote and chat access.

Connection Modes

Mode A: OpenClaw Gateway (Remote Access)

Telegram/Discord/Web → OpenClaw Gateway → HTTP Polling → Unreal Plugin

Works when the Gateway is running and this editor can read the gateway's bridge token (~/.openclaw/unreal-bridge.token). Requires openclaw-unreal-skill 1.2.0+.

Mode B: MCP Direct (Claude Code / Cursor)

Claude Code / Cursor → MCP Server (stdio) → HTTP → Unreal Plugin (port 27184)

The plugin runs an embedded HTTP server on port 27184, authenticated with a per-launch token (see Bridge authentication). Use the included MCP bridge, which reads the token file for you:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add unreal -- node /path/to/Plugins/OpenClaw/MCP~/index.js

Cursor: Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unreal": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/Plugins/OpenClaw/MCP~/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Both modes run simultaneously — you can use Gateway and MCP Direct at the same time.

Editor Panel

Access via Window → OpenClaw Unreal Plugin. The dockable panel provides:

Status indicator — connection state at a glance
MCP info — server address and protocol details
Connect / Disconnect buttons
Live log — scrollable log of MCP messages and tool calls

Troubleshooting

Plugin not loading or stale binaries

If the plugin fails to load, shows outdated behavior, or you get linker errors after updating, clear the build cache:

rm -rf YourProject/Plugins/OpenClaw/Binaries YourProject/Plugins/OpenClaw/Intermediate

Then restart the Unreal Editor — it will recompile the plugin from source.

Connection issues

Make sure OpenClaw Gateway is running (openclaw gateway status)
Check the Editor Panel log for error messages
Verify firewall isn't blocking the MCP port

License

Bridge authentication (v1.4.0)

Both local bridges are authenticated with a per-launch secret. Neither accepts an anonymous caller any more.

MCP Direct — this plugin is the server

When the embedded server starts it generates a per-launch token and writes it to ~/.openclaw/unreal-mcp-bridge.token with mode 0600. The bundled MCP~/index.js reads that file and sends it as X-OpenClaw-Token on every request; anything else gets 401. Requests carrying Origin or Referer get 403 (local MCP clients never send them; a web page probing the port does), and so do non-loopback peers on engine versions that report the peer address — GET /status says which, as peerCheck: "loopback-only" | "unavailable". The mandatory token is the control that does not depend on the engine version.

In v1.3.1 the token was optional (OPENCLAW_BRIDGE_TOKEN unset meant no auth), so an unconfigured install accepted commands from any local process. That is what changed.

Gateway — this plugin is the client

When the OpenClaw gateway loads the Unreal extension it writes a token to ~/.openclaw/unreal-bridge.token (mode 0600). This plugin reads it and sends it as X-OpenClaw-Bridge-Token on POST /unreal/register; the gateway answers with a per-session token that every later request carries as X-OpenClaw-Session. Every queued command has a nonce, and this plugin echoes it with the result, so no other local process can answer in the editor's place. Needs openclaw-unreal-skill 1.2.0 on the gateway side.

Variables

Variable	Effect
`OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR` / `OPENCLAW_HOME`	Where both token files live (default `~/.openclaw`)
`OPENCLAW_BRIDGE_TOKEN`	Use this token instead of the files, on both sides
`OPENCLAW_UNREAL_ALLOW_LEGACY_UNAUTHENTICATED=1`	Restore the pre-1.4.0 unauthenticated MCP Direct server. Off by default; the output log and the OpenClaw panel say so loudly while it is on.

Tokens are never written to the output log — only the token file's path is. The 0600 file keeps other users out; a process running as you can read it, which is the same boundary that protects your SSH keys. On Windows the file relies on the user profile ACL, since chmod does not apply.
