batihandev Package Management
Do not use Unity_RunCommand for package operations. Unity's MCP server exposes first-class package tools that cover every operation in this domain directly.
Routing
| Operation | Tool | Typical payload |
|---|---|---|
| List installed packages | Unity_PackageManager_GetData |
{ "installedOnly": true } (no packageID) |
| Check a specific package | Unity_PackageManager_GetData |
{ "packageID": "com.unity.cinemachine", "installedOnly": true } |
| List a package's versions | Unity_PackageManager_GetData |
{ "packageID": "com.unity.cinemachine", "installedOnly": false } |
| List a package's dependencies | Unity_PackageManager_GetData |
{ "packageID": "com.unity.timeline", "installedOnly": false } |
| Install a package | Unity_PackageManager_ExecuteAction |
{ "action": "Add", "packageID": "com.unity.cinemachine" } (optional version) |
| Remove a package | Unity_PackageManager_ExecuteAction |
{ "action": "Remove", "packageID": "com.unity.splines" } |
| Refresh / resolve | Unity_PackageManager_ExecuteAction |
{ "action": "Resolve" } |
| Embed a local copy | Unity_PackageManager_ExecuteAction |
{ "action": "Embed", "packageID": "com.unity.cinemachine" } |
| Import a package sample | Unity_PackageManager_ExecuteAction |
{ "action": "Sample", "packageID": "...", "sampleName": "..." } |
Notes
- Install / remove operations are asynchronous on Unity's side. If the tool returns a "pending" status, poll
Unity_PackageManager_GetDatawithinstalledOnly: truea few seconds later to observe the final state. - Package operations can trigger a Domain Reload. Expect transient server unavailability afterward; retry once.
