Excerpt

Unreal Engine MCP Skill

Companion skill for the unreal-engine entry in the Hermes MCP catalog. The MCP server (Epic's official, experimental "Unreal MCP" plugin, internal id ModelContextProtocol) runs INSIDE the Unreal Editor process and exposes editor functionality as typed tools. This skill teaches how to drive it well: discovering the live tool surface, sequencing calls safely, translating plain-English asks into scenes that actually look good, and verifying work visually. The user should never need to touch the editor beyond launching it.

When to Use
