Description

Adds WorkBuddy as a separate MCP client using .workbuddy/mcp.json on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Unity can detect the client, configure HTTP or stdio, and remove only the UnityMCP entry while preserving other settings.

Configuration aborts if an existing JSON file cannot be read or parsed. A partially edited WorkBuddy configuration is left byte-for-byte unchanged. Each atomic write also owns its temporary and backup paths, so an unrelated old backup cannot replace current settings after a failed write.

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • Documentation update
  • Test update

Changes Made

  • Adds WorkBuddy discovery, platform paths, configuration, and per-client toggle documentation.
  • Keeps configuration idempotent and preserves unrelated settings and MCP servers when configuring or unregistering.
  • Returns an actionable error before generating or writing configuration when the existing file is unreadable or malformed.
  • Uses separate temporary and backup paths per write, preserving pre-existing .tmp files/directories and .backup files during success and failure.
  • Adds regression coverage for malformed JSON in HTTP and stdio modes, an unreadable file, existing scratch/backup artifacts, and failed-write cleanup.

Compatibility / Package Source

  • Local package based on beta commit 142ea0af4890337f0ff6658df61db23982313717.
  • Unity reference version: 6000.3.20f1 on macOS.

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

  • Unity 6000.3.20f1 EditMode: all 11 WorkBuddyConfiguratorTests passed.
  • The same fixture against previous published commit 6c9d1bce439f0946a82b8a08c1f272850a73906a passed the existing 8 tests and failed only the 3 new atomic-write regressions.
  • A supplemental .NET 6 harness using the exact atomic-write method passed all 3 preservation/cleanup cases. Earlier parse/read regressions remain covered by the final Unity fixture.
  • License-free C# compile: Runtime and Editor passed with Windows, macOS, and Linux defines using Unity 6000.3.20f1 references. The cached reference set reports 10 unavailable optional platform DLLs; compilation completed without errors.
  • git diff --check passed. The prescribed four-version check skipped all four Editors because those versions are not installed; these skips are not test passes.

Hosted checks for the updated commit are separate from these local results; upstream workflow execution may require maintainer approval.

Actual WorkBuddy connections and execution on Windows/Linux have not been verified. Configuration tests use temporary files.

Documentation Updates

Rechecked on 2026-10-18 at 4d5c4787585621f8d004a85c7a5622d8902a9c08: the per-client toggle section includes Plugins → MCP Servers → enable unityMCP, followed by reconnect/restart guidance. The requested documentation change is already in the submitted branch.

Updates website/docs/getting-started/clients.md, including WorkBuddy in the per-client toggle list. Configuration format was checked against the official MCP guide.

Explanation

Issue #1402 requests a WorkBuddy option in the agent interface. The PR adds WorkBuddyConfigurator, exposes WorkBuddy discovery as a separate client, supports HTTP and stdio configuration, and documents the setup. The tests cover discovery, platform paths, configuration, preservation of other settings, unregister behavior, and invalid or unreadable files. These changes satisfy the coding scope of #1402.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The configurator, McpConfigurationHelper safeguards, regression tests, and client documentation directly support WorkBuddy configuration and safe preservation of existing files. The atomic-write changes prevent unrelated temporary or backup artifacts from affecting the current configuration. No unrelated change is demonstrated by the reviewed evidence.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the change scope, change types, implementation details, compatibility information, testing results, documentation updates, limitations, and related issue. It is sufficiently complete, although the package-source entry could state the exact source format more explicitly.

List WorkBuddy in the per-client toggle section.

These lines require users to enable unityMCP, but the later toggle section omits WorkBuddy and says that every other client connects on next launch. Add WorkBuddy to that section so readers do not skip a required setup step.

The WorkBuddy section tells users to enable `unityMCP` under Plugins -> MCP
Servers, but the "Per-client toggle locations" list did not mention WorkBuddy and
ended with "Everything else just connects on next launch.", so readers could
skip the required step. Add WorkBuddy to that list.

🟡 Minor · Abort instead of replacing malformed WorkBuddy configuration. · WorkBuddyConfigurator.cs:8-16

MCPForUnity/Editor/Clients/Configurators/WorkBuddyConfigurator.cs:8-16
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Abort instead of replacing malformed WorkBuddy configuration.

When a readable .workbuddy/mcp.json is malformed, the status check sets WorkBuddy to Error, and the UI offers Configure. If configuration is unlocked and uvx is available, McpConfigurationHelper.WriteMcpConfiguration replaces the parse failure with an empty root, then writes a root containing only mcpServers.unityMCP. This can discard unrelated MCP entries and settings from the original file.

In McpConfigurationHelper.WriteMcpConfiguration, return an error from the parse-error catch before building or writing a replacement. The inherited Configure() will report the failure and leave the original file intact.

Suggested fix
             catch
             {
                 // If user has partial/invalid JSON (e.g., mid-edit), start from a fresh object
                 if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(existingJson))
                 {
-                    McpLog.Warn("UnityMCP: Configuration file could not be parsed; rewriting server block.");
+                    McpLog.Warn("UnityMCP: Configuration file could not be parsed; no changes were written.");
                 }
-                existingConfig = new JObject();
+                return "Configuration file could not be parsed; no changes were written.";
             }
