🔀 Hybrid Architecture

This plugin supports two connection modes - use whichever fits your workflow:

Mode A: OpenClaw Gateway (Remote Access)

Telegram/Discord/Web → OpenClaw Gateway → Unity Plugin

✅ Remote access from anywhere
✅ Chat integration (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
✅ Cron jobs, automation, multi-device
⚠️ Requires OpenClaw Gateway running

Mode B: MCP Direct (Local Development)

Claude Code/Desktop → MCP Server → Unity Plugin

✅ Direct connection, no middleware
✅ Works with Claude Code, Cursor, etc.
✅ Lower latency for local development
⚠️ Local only (127.0.0.1)

Quick Setup

Mode	Setup
OpenClaw	Install plugin + gateway extension; the gateway's bridge token authenticates the connection
MCP	Enable MCP Bridge: `Window > OpenClaw > Start MCP Bridge` — the panel shows the token file MCP clients read

🔑 Bridge authentication (v1.7.0)

Both local bridges are authenticated with a per-launch secret. Neither accepts an anonymous caller any more, and neither answers a browser.

Gateway bridge — this add-on is the client. When the OpenClaw gateway loads the Unity extension it writes a random 32-byte token to ~/.openclaw/unity-bridge.token with mode 0600. This add-on reads it and sends it as X-OpenClaw-Bridge-Token on POST /unity/register; the gateway answers with a per-session token that every later request carries as X-OpenClaw-Session. Each command the gateway queues has a nonce, and this add-on echoes that nonce with the result, so no other local process can answer in its place.

MCP bridge — this add-on is the server. When the bridge starts it generates a per-launch token and writes it to ~/.openclaw/unity-mcp-bridge.token with mode 0600. MCP~/index.js reads that file and sends it as X-OpenClaw-Token. Every request needs it (401 otherwise), the listener binds 127.0.0.1 only, requests carrying Origin or Referer are refused with 403, and no CORS headers are sent — before 1.7.0 it replied Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, which let any open web page run Editor tools including script.execute.

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_UNITY_ALLOW_LEGACY_UNAUTHENTICATED=1`	Restore the pre-1.7.0 open MCP bridge. Off by default; the Editor log and the OpenClaw panel say so loudly while it is on.

Tokens are never written to the Unity console — 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.

Installation

Option 1: Git URL (Recommended)

Open Unity Package Manager (Window > Package Manager)
Click + → Add package from git URL...

Enter:

https://github.com/TomLeeLive/openclaw-unity-plugin.git

Option 2: Local Package

Clone this repository
In Unity: Window > Package Manager → + → Add package from disk...
Select the package.json file

Quick Start

1. Install OpenClaw Gateway Extension (Required)

Copy the gateway extension files to OpenClaw:

# Copy extension files
cp -r OpenClawPlugin~/* ~/.openclaw/extensions/unity/

# Restart gateway to load the extension
openclaw gateway restart

# Verify
openclaw unity status

Note: OpenClawPlugin~ contains the gateway extension that enables unity_execute and unity_sessions tools. This is required for OpenClaw to communicate with Unity.

2. Install Unity Package

See Installation above for Git URL or local package setup.

3. Configure in Unity

Open Window > OpenClaw Plugin
Set Gateway URL: http://localhost:18789 (default)
Connection is automatic when Unity starts
Status shows green when connected

4. Chat with OpenClaw

Ask OpenClaw to inspect your scene, create objects, or debug issues - all without entering Play mode!

5. Install OpenClaw Skill (Optional)

The companion skill provides workflow patterns and tool references for the AI:

# Clone skill to OpenClaw workspace
git clone https://github.com/TomLeeLive/openclaw-unity-skill.git ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/unity-plugin

The skill provides:

Quick reference for all 55 tools
Common workflow patterns (scene inspection, UI testing, etc.)
Detailed parameter documentation
Troubleshooting guides

Note: The skill is separate from the gateway extension. The extension enables the tools; the skill teaches the AI how to use them effectively.

Configuration

Create via Assets > Create > OpenClaw > Config and place in Resources folder.

Setting	Description	Default
`gatewayUrl`	OpenClaw gateway URL	`http://localhost:18789`
`apiToken`	Bridge token override (normally left empty — the gateway's `~/.openclaw/unity-bridge.token` is used)	(empty)
`autoConnect`	Connect on start	`true`
`showStatusOverlay`	Show status in Game view	`true`
`captureConsoleLogs`	Capture logs for AI	`true`
`allowCodeExecution`	Allow code execution	`true`
`allowFileAccess`	Allow file operations	`true`
`allowSceneModification`	Allow scene changes	`true`

Example Usage

Scene Inspection

You: What GameObjects are in my scene?

OpenClaw: [Executes debug.hierarchy]

Your scene has:
▶ Main Camera [Camera, AudioListener]
▶ Directional Light [Light]
▶ Player [PlayerController, Rigidbody]
  ▶ Model [MeshRenderer]
▶ UI Canvas [Canvas, GraphicRaycaster]
  ▶ PlayButton [Button]

Game Testing with Input Simulation

You: Test the login flow - enter username "TestPlayer" and click Play

OpenClaw: 
[Executes input.clickUI {name: "UsernameInput"}]
[Executes input.type {text: "TestPlayer"}]
[Executes input.clickUI {name: "PlayButton"}]
[Executes debug.screenshot]

Done! Clicked username input, typed "TestPlayer", and clicked Play button.
Screenshot attached showing the result.

Remote Recompilation

You: I updated the PlayerController script, recompile Unity

OpenClaw: [Executes editor.recompile]

Script recompilation requested. Unity will reload shortly.

Troubleshooting

Bridge won't connect

Check Gateway status: openclaw gateway status
Verify URL: default is http://localhost:18789
Check Window > OpenClaw Plugin for errors

Connection lost during Play mode transition

Plugin uses SessionState to survive domain reloads
Auto-reconnects after Play mode transition
If stuck, use editor.refresh or click "Force Reconnect"

Screenshot shows wrong content

In Play mode: Uses ScreenCapture (includes UI)
In Editor mode: Uses Camera.main.Render() (no overlay UI)
Use Play mode for accurate game screenshots

Screen Lock / Remote Access

When using debug.screenshot remotely (via SSH, screen sharing, etc.):

Game View Mode	Screen Lock	Screenshot Works?
Play Focused	✅ OK	✅ Yes
Normal	❌ May fail	⚠️ Depends

Best Practice: Set Game View to "Play Focused" mode before locking the screen. This ensures Unity keeps rendering the game even when the window isn't visible.

To enable: Click the dropdown next to "Scale" in Game View → Select "Play Focused"

Script changes not applied after Play mode restart

Unity's "Enter Play Mode Settings" can skip domain reload for faster iteration, but this prevents script recompilation.

Symptoms:

Code changes don't take effect when re-entering Play mode
Old behavior persists despite saving scripts
editor.refresh or editor.recompile has no effect during Play mode

Solution:

Go to Edit → Project Settings → Editor
Find "Enter Play Mode Settings"
Check ✅ "Reload Domain"

What this does:

Setting	Reload Domain ON	Reload Domain OFF
Script changes	✅ Applied on Play	❌ Ignored until manual refresh
Play mode entry	~2-5 seconds	~0.5 seconds
Static variables	Reset	Preserved
Best for	Development with active coding	Testing/playing without code changes

Tip: Keep "Reload Domain" ON during development. Only disable it when you need fast iteration without code changes.

🔐 Security: Model Invocation Setting

When publishing to ClawHub or installing as a skill, you can configure disableModelInvocation in the skill metadata:

Setting	AI Auto-Invoke	User Explicit Request
`false` (default)	✅ Allowed	✅ Allowed
`true`	❌ Blocked	✅ Allowed

Recommendation for Unity Plugin: `true`

Reason: During Unity development, it's useful for AI to autonomously perform supporting tasks like checking scene hierarchy, taking screenshots, and inspecting GameObjects.

When to use true: For sensitive tools (payments, deletions, message sending, etc.)

# Example skill metadata
metadata:
  openclaw:
    disableModelInvocation: true  # Recommended for Unity plugin

⚠️ Important Notes

Development Only: Disable allowCodeExecution in production builds
TextMeshPro: Plugin works with or without TMPro (uses reflection)
Unity 6: Deferred initialization prevents UPM EPIPE crashes
