AI-powered code editor for game development
gengine
AI tools for Unreal Engine via MCP — control the editor from your terminal or AI assistant

Overview
gengine connects AI models (Claude, GPT, Ollama, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint) to Unreal Engine via MCP (Model Context Protocol). It lets developers control the Unreal Editor from the terminal — spawning actors, managing assets, creating and compiling Blueprints, capturing viewport screenshots, and translating Blueprint graphs to production C++ with proper UPROPERTY/UFUNCTION markup. Full editor coverage at no cost for the plugin itself.
Best For
- Unreal Engine developers who want AI-driven scene and Blueprint control
- Teams translating Blueprint graphs to C++ at scale
- Developers using Claude or Cursor with Unreal Engine projects
