Add it to Claude Code from a terminal:

claude mcp add unreal-mcp-ue4 -- npx -y unreal-mcp-ue4

Or add it to Cursor or Claude Desktop in .cursor/mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unreal-mcp-ue4": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "unreal-mcp-ue4"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart the client and check it. Run claude mcp list, or open the client's MCP settings, and confirm unreal-mcp-ue4 and its tools are listed. The install guide covers VS Code and Codex.
