Unity PlayMode & Testing

A guide for Play Mode control, input simulation, UI automation, and visual verification.

Quick Start

1. Play Mode Control

// Start Play Mode
mcp__unity-mcp-server__play_game()

// Check state
mcp__unity-mcp-server__get_editor_state()

// Stop
mcp__unity-mcp-server__stop_game()

2. Input Simulation

// Keyboard input
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({
  action: "press",
  key: "w",
  holdSeconds: 1.0
})

// Mouse click
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_mouse({
  action: "click",
  x: 500,
  y: 300,
  button: "left"
})

3. Screenshot

// Capture Game View
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_screenshot({
  captureMode: "game"
})

Play Mode Control

Start, Pause, Stop

// Start Play Mode
mcp__unity-mcp-server__play_game()

// Pause/Resume (toggle)
mcp__unity-mcp-server__pause_game()

// Stop (return to Edit Mode)
mcp__unity-mcp-server__stop_game()

Check State

// Get current state
mcp__unity-mcp-server__get_editor_state()
// Returns: { isPlaying: true/false, isPaused: true/false }

Wait for State

// Wait until Play Mode starts
mcp__unity-mcp-server__playmode_wait_for_state({
  isPlaying: true,
  timeoutMs: 10000,  // 10 second timeout
  pollMs: 500        // Check every 500ms
})

// Wait until Edit Mode

UI Automation

elementPath (uGUI / UI Toolkit / IMGUI)

The path (= elementPath) returned by find_ui_elements differs in format depending on the UI system.

  • uGUI: /Canvas/... (GameObject hierarchy path)
  • UI Toolkit: uitk:<UIDocument GameObject path>#<VisualElement.name>
    • Example: uitk:/UITK/UIDocument#UITK_Button
  • IMGUI: imgui:<controlId> (ID registered in OnGUI)
    • Example: imgui:IMGUI/Button

Test scenes:

  • uGUI: UnityMCPServer/Assets/Scenes/MCP_UI_UGUI_TestScene.unity
  • UI Toolkit: UnityMCPServer/Assets/Scenes/MCP_UI_UITK_TestScene.unity
  • IMGUI: UnityMCPServer/Assets/Scenes/MCP_UI_IMGUI_TestScene.unity
  • uGUI/UI Toolkit/IMGUI combined: UnityMCPServer/Assets/Scenes/MCP_UI_AllSystems_TestScene.unity
    • Note: UI is generated by McpAllUiSystemsTestBootstrap at Play Mode start, so it's not visible in Edit Mode
  • MCP E2E tests (scene load → Play Mode → ui_* tool calls):
    • stdio / tools/call: node --test mcp-server/tests/e2e/ui-automation-mcp-protocol.test.js
    • UnityConnection direct: node --test mcp-server/tests/e2e/ui-automation-scenes.test.js

Search UI Elements

// Search by element type
mcp__unity-mcp-server__find_ui_elements({
  elementType: "Button"
})

// Search by name pattern
mcp__unity-mcp-server__find_ui_elements({
  namePattern: "Start.*",  // Regular expression
  includeInactive: true
})

// Search within Canvas
mcp__unity-mcp-server__find_ui_elements({
  elementType: "Toggle",
  canvasFilter: "SettingsCanvas"
})

UI Click

// Click by element path
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/StartButton"
})

// UI Toolkit (specify VisualElement by name under UIDocument)
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "uitk:/UITK/UIDocument#UITK_Button"
})

// IMGUI (specify controlId registered in OnGUI)
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "imgui:IMGUI/Button"
})

// Note: UI Toolkit / IMGUI ignore holdDuration / position (returned as warning)

// Right-click
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/ContextMenu",
  clickType: "right"
})

// Long press
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/HoldButton",
  holdDuration: 1000  // 1 second
})

// Click at specific position within element
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/Slider",
  position: { x: 0.8, y: 0.5 }  // Relative coordinates 0-1
})

Get UI Element State

// Get element state
mcp__unity-mcp-server__get_ui_element_state({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/StartButton",
  includeInteractableInfo: true
})
// Returns: interactable, visible, position, size, etc.

// Include children
mcp__unity-mcp-server__get_ui_element_state({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/Panel",
  includeChildren: true
})

Set UI Value

// Set text to InputField
mcp__unity-mcp-server__set_ui_element_value({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/NameInput",
  value: "PlayerName",
  triggerEvents: true  // Fire OnValueChanged etc.
})

// Set Slider value
mcp__unity-mcp-server__set_ui_element_value({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/VolumeSlider",
  value: 0.75
})

// Set Toggle state

  value: true
})

// Select Dropdown
mcp__unity-mcp-server__set_ui_element_value({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/DifficultyDropdown",
  value: "Hard"  // or index
})

Compound UI Sequence

// Execute multiple UI operations sequentially
mcp__unity-mcp-server__simulate_ui_input({
  inputSequence: [
    { type: "click", params: { elementPath: "/Canvas/NameInput" }},
    { type: "setvalue", params: { elementPath: "/Canvas/NameInput", value: "Player1" }},
    { type: "click", params: { elementPath: "/Canvas/StartButton" }}

Common Workflows

UI Automated Testing

// 1. Start Play Mode
mcp__unity-mcp-server__play_game()
mcp__unity-mcp-server__playmode_wait_for_state({ isPlaying: true })

// 2. Menu operation
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/MainMenu/StartButton"
})

// 3. Wait
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000))

// 4. Input
mcp__unity-mcp-server__set_ui_element_value({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/NameInput",
  value: "TestPlayer"
})

// 5. Confirm button
mcp__unity-mcp-server__click_ui_element({
  elementPath: "/Canvas/ConfirmButton"
})

// 6. Screenshot result
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_screenshot({ captureMode: "game" })

// 7. Check console for errors
mcp__unity-mcp-server__read_console({ logTypes: ["Error"] })

// 8. Stop
mcp__unity-mcp-server__stop_game()

Gameplay Recording

// 1. Start Play Mode with recording
mcp__unity-mcp-server__video_capture_for({
  durationSec: 30,
  play: true
})

// Or manual control:
mcp__unity-mcp-server__play_game()
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_video_start()

// 2. Gameplay input
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({
  actions: [
    { action: "press", key: "w", holdSeconds: 2.0 },
    { action: "press", key: "space" },
    { action: "press", key: "a", holdSeconds: 1.0 }
  ]
})

// 3. Stop recording
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_video_stop()
mcp__unity-mcp-server__stop_game()

Bug Reproduction Automation

// 1. Load scene
mcp__unity-mcp-server__load_scene({
  scenePath: "Assets/Scenes/BugScene.unity"
})

// 2. Start Play Mode
mcp__unity-mcp-server__play_game()
mcp__unity-mcp-server__playmode_wait_for_state({ isPlaying: true })

// 3. Reproduction steps
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({
  action: "press",
  key: "e",
  holdSeconds: 0.5
})

mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_mouse({
  action: "click",
  x: 500,
  y: 300
})

// 4. Check for errors
mcp__unity-mcp-server__read_console({
  logTypes: ["Error"],
  includeStackTrace: true
})

// 5. Screenshot
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_screenshot({ captureMode: "game" })

// 6. Stop
mcp__unity-mcp-server__stop_game()

Common Mistakes

1. Missing Play Mode State Check

// ❌ Input without state check
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({ action: "press", key: "w" })

// ✅ Input after confirming Play Mode
mcp__unity-mcp-server__play_game()
mcp__unity-mcp-server__playmode_wait_for_state({ isPlaying: true })
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({ action: "press", key: "w" })

2. Forgetting Immediate Key Release

// ❌ Forgetting release after press (key stays pressed)
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({ action: "press", key: "shift" })

// ✅ Auto-release with holdSeconds
mcp__unity-mcp-server__input_keyboard({
  action: "press",
  key: "shift",
  holdSeconds: 0.5
})

3. Wrong UI Element Path

// ❌ Relative path
elementPath: "Canvas/Button"

// ✅ Absolute path (leading slash)
elementPath: "/Canvas/Button"

4. Forgetting to Stop Recording

// ✅ Always stop recording
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_video_start()
// ... recording process ...
mcp__unity-mcp-server__capture_video_stop()  // Don't forget!

// ✅ Or use video_capture_for for auto-stop
mcp__unity-mcp-server__video_capture_for({ durationSec: 10 })

5. Test Execution Timing

// ❌ Trying to run PlayMode tests in Edit Mode
// (Unity automatically switches to Play Mode, but timing requires attention)

// ✅ Explicitly specify mode
mcp__unity-mcp-server__run_tests({
  testMode: "PlayMode",  // "EditMode" for EditMode tests
  includeDetails: true
})
