Description

Adds ZCode to the MCP client list and enables creating and removing connection settings from Unity's settings window. Uses the native user configuration that ZCode reads preferentially, preserving existing model settings and other MCP servers.

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Documentation update
  • Test update

Changes Made

  • Configures mcp.servers.unityMCP in ZCode's .zcode/cli/config.json.
  • Supports hierarchical paths for server containers in JSON configuration and uses the same configuration location for generation, status detection, removal, and stdio version updates.
  • Detects the client using the .zcode directory, making it selectable even before it has been configured for the first time.
  • Verified HTTP and stdio round trips, repeated configuration, preservation of other settings, and compatibility with existing clients.

Compatibility / Package Source

  • Unity version(s) tested: 6000.3.20f1 (macOS)
  • Package source used: local file: package
  • Resolved commit hash: not applicable (local package)

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

  • Python tests: 1,575 passed, 18 skipped
  • Unity EditMode tests: 16 passed (ZCodeConfiguratorTests 11 + ClientConfigFormatTests 5)
  • Package import/compile check: Unity 6000.3.20f1
  • The Unity versions specified for CI were not verified because they are not installed locally.

Documentation Updates

  • Adds ZCode setup instructions to website/docs/getting-started/clients.md.
  • Checked the configuration hierarchy and precedence against the official MCP guide.

Related Issues

Fixes #1396

Additional Notes

An actual connection to ZCode itself and operation on Windows and Linux are not verified. Regression tests use temporary files and also check the existing configuration formats for Cursor, Kilo Code, and VS Code.

Fork CI verification

Checked the GitHub Actions results for the same commit a85de7b7784fbe23ec4e15ec515af1bb76decf66. The Python tests succeeded, as did the harness tests that run without Unity.

C# compilation also succeeded with Unity 6000.0.75f1. Runtime and Editor were compiled for each of the Windows, macOS, and Linux configurations.

The docs build succeeded.

The E2E tests and the Unity Editor tests that require a license were skipped.

The upstream GitHub Actions are waiting for a maintainer to approve the run for the current commit. The CI successes above are results from runs on the fork that verified the same commit.

Review follow-up

Commit 5749fe54a7a8dbb2dc2de599e9f62da1810eefb7 addresses the automated review finding that configuring ZCode can hide servers that are kept only in ~/.agents/mcp.json: ZCode skips that file once ~/.zcode/cli/config.json defines any server (ZCode MCP guide). Before writing, the configurator now checks for that case and, after a successful write, logs the names (never the values) of the servers that stop loading and how to keep them. It does not copy entries between the two files, because the guide does not document their per-server format as identical and copying would duplicate secrets; ~/.agents/mcp.json is never modified. An installation step and the docs carry the same guidance, and ZCode is now listed in the per-client toggle section.

Verification for the latest commit:

  • Unity 6000.3.20f1 (macOS), EditMode, local run of ZCodeConfiguratorTests, ClientConfigFormatTests: 37 passed, 0 failed.
  • Fork CI (haranishi/unity-mcp#4): the license-free C# compile check (win/osx/linux defines) and the docs site build succeeded.
  • Not run: the Unity versions pinned by CI, and Windows/Linux. The fork has no Unity license, so its Unity Tests and E2E jobs are skipped, not passed. The upstream workflows for this PR are waiting for a maintainer to approve the run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for configuring Unity MCP in ZCode’s native settings, with HTTP and stdio transport options.
    • Added setup guidance for enabling and reconnecting ZCode.
    • Added a warning when existing servers in the shared settings file may no longer load after ZCode configuration, with guidance for retaining them.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of nested configuration paths when checking, updating, and removing server settings, while preserving existing client configurations.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds a ZCode configurator for ~/.zcode/cli/config.json and extends JSON configurators to handle nested server-container paths. It updates stdio migration checks, adds edit-mode tests, and documents ZCode setup.

Changes: ZCode configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nested JSON container paths
MCPForUnity/Editor/Models/McpClient.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Helpers/ConfigJsonBuilder.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Clients/McpClientConfiguratorBase.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Migrations/StdIoVersionMigration.cs, TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Clients/ZCodeConfiguratorTests.cs
Server container keys are handled as JSON paths when creating objects, checking configuration status, unregistering, and checking stdio migration. Tests cover existing client layouts and migration checks.
ZCode native configuration

Adds ZCode configuration at the user-level ~/.zcode/cli/config.json, with unityMCP under mcp.servers. Tests cover installation detection, HTTP and stdio configuration, preservation of unrelated settings, shadowed-server warnings, and unregister behavior. Documentation describes setup and configuration precedence.

ZCode configuration is mergeable after normal checks. Users with servers only in .agents are warned that native configuration will prevent those servers from loading.

Comment thread MCPForUnity/Editor/Clients/Configurators/ZCodeConfigurator.cs
ZCode reads ~/.agents/mcp.json only while ~/.zcode/cli/config.json defines no
servers, and it does not merge the two files. Configuring ZCode adds unityMCP
to the native file, so servers kept only in ~/.agents/mcp.json stop loading.

Detect that case before writing and, after a successful write, log the names
of the affected servers (never their values) and how to keep them. The .agents
file is left untouched. Entries are not copied between the files: their
per-server format is not documented as identical, and copying would duplicate
secrets. An unreadable or non-object native config counts as having no
servers, because Configure rewrites it as a fresh object.

Add an installation step and docs with the same guidance, and list ZCode in
the per-client toggle section.
