AI Agents (MCP)

Unreal Cloud has an MCP server, so AI agents can work with your builds. Ask your agent to start a build, wait for it, and tell you why it failed.

The server's address is:

https://mcp.unrealcloud.io/mcp

Connect your agent

Claude signs in with your Unreal Cloud account. Other agents use your API key, from your profile page.

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector. Name it Unreal Cloud, enter this URL and click Add:

https://mcp.unrealcloud.io/mcp

claude mcp add --transport http unrealcloud https://mcp.unrealcloud.io/mcp --header "apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY"

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, and set UNREALCLOUD_API_KEY in your environment:

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unrealcloud": {
      "url": "https://mcp.unrealcloud.io/mcp",
      "headers": { "apiKey": "${env:UNREALCLOUD_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for your key the first time and stores it securely, so it never ends up in your repository:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "unrealcloud-api-key",
      "description": "Unreal Cloud API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "unrealcloud": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.unrealcloud.io/mcp",
      "headers": { "apiKey": "${input:unrealcloud-api-key}" }
    }
  }
}

If you use an API key: your account has only one. If you rotate it, also update it where you already use it, like your Perforce trigger.

What agents can do

Tool	What it does
`list_projects`	Lists your studios and their projects.
`list_presets`	Lists a project's presets, with platform, engine version and branch.
`trigger_build`	Starts a build of a manual preset, optionally on another branch or without the cache.
`list_builds`	Lists a project's latest builds, filtered by status, branch or preset.
`get_build`	Gets a build's status, commit, preset and artifacts.
`get_build_logs`	Gets the errors from a build's log, or its last lines.
`get_artifact_link`	Gets a temporary download link for a build's artifact.

Agents can't change settings, members, billing or anything else. Starting a build needs an active subscription and uses build minutes, like any other build.

Try it

Once connected, ask your agent things like:

"Build the Windows preset of Nine Lives and tell me when it's done."
"Why did the last build fail?"
"Build my branch feature/inventory and fix the compile errors."
