unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-search --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-search --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
Troubleshooting
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.
