🏗️ Architecture Overview

VibeUE uses a Python-first architecture that gives AI assistants access to:

1. MCP Tools (10 tools)

Lightweight MCP tools for AI interaction with Unreal:

Tool	Purpose
discover_python_module	Inspect module contents (classes, functions, constants)
discover_python_class	Get class methods, properties, and inheritance
discover_python_function	Get function signatures and docstrings
execute_python_code	Run Python code in Unreal Editor context
list_python_subsystems	List available UE editor subsystems
manage_skills	Load domain-specific knowledge on demand
manage_asset	Search, open, save, move, duplicate, and delete assets safely
read_logs	Read and filter Unreal Engine log files with regex support
terrain_data	Generate real-world heightmaps, map images, and water feature data from geographic coordinates
deep_research	Web search, page fetching, and GPS geocoding — no API key required

Note: The read_logs MCP tool provides access to Unreal Engine's log files for debugging, error analysis, and workflow understanding.

Note: The manage_asset MCP tool is the preferred path for asset search, save, move, duplicate, and delete workflows. It avoids ad hoc Python asset handling and preserves references when renaming or moving content.

Note: The terrain_data and deep_research tools work together for real-world terrain workflows: geocode a place name → generate a heightmap → import into a landscape → fetch water features.

MCP Tool Reference

Core Discovery Tools

discover_python_module

discover_python_module(
    module_name: str,              # e.g., "unreal" (lowercase for UE module)
    name_filter: str = "",         # Filter by name substring (case-insensitive)
    include_classes: bool = True,  # Include classes in results
    include_functions: bool = True, # Include functions in results
    max_items: int = 100,          # Maximum items to return (0 = unlimited)
    case_sensitive: bool = False   # Whether filtering is case-sensitive
)

Example: discover_python_module("unreal", name_filter="Blueprint")

discover_python_class

discover_python_class(
    class_name: str,                # Fully qualified class name (e.g., "unreal.BlueprintService")
    method_filter: str = "",        # Filter methods by name substring
    include_inherited: bool = False, # Include inherited methods
    include_private: bool = False,  # Include private methods starting with _
    max_methods: int = 0            # Maximum methods to return (0 = unlimited)
)

Example: discover_python_class("unreal.BlueprintService", method_filter="variable")

discover_python_function

discover_python_function(
    function_name: str  # Fully qualified function name (e.g., "unreal.load_asset")
)

list_python_subsystems

list_python_subsystems()  # No parameters - returns all UE editor subsystems

Usage: Access via unreal.get_editor_subsystem(unreal.SubsystemName)

Execution Tool

execute_python_code

execute_python_code(
    code: str  # Python code to execute (must start with "import unreal")
)

Important: Use import unreal (lowercase). For subsystems: unreal.get_editor_subsystem(unreal.LevelEditorSubsystem)

Returns: stdout, stderr, and execution status

Skills System Tool

manage_skills

# List all available skills
manage_skills(action="list")

# Suggest skills based on query
manage_skills(action="suggest", query="create widget button")

# Load single skill
manage_skills(action="load", skill_name="blueprints")

# Load multiple skills together (more efficient - deduplicated discovery)
manage_skills(action="load", skill_names=["blueprints", "enhanced-input"])

Skill names: animation-blueprint, animation-editing, animation-montage, animsequence, asset-management, blueprint-graphs, blueprints, data-assets, data-tables, engine-settings, enhanced-input, enum-struct, foliage, landscape, landscape-auto-material, landscape-materials, level-actors, materials, niagara-emitters, niagara-systems, project-settings, screenshots, skeleton, sound-cues, state-trees, terrain-data, umg-widgets

Asset Workflow Tool

manage_asset

# Search before acting
manage_asset(action="search", search_term="BP_Player", asset_type="Blueprint")

# Open or save a specific asset
manage_asset(action="open", asset_path="/Game/Blueprints/BP_Player")
manage_asset(action="save", asset_path="/Game/Blueprints/BP_Player")

# Save everything dirty before a build or launch
manage_asset(action="save_all")

# Move or rename while preserving references
manage_asset(action="move", source_path="/Game/StateTree/STT_Rotate", destination_path="/Game/StateTree/Tasks/STT_Rotate")

Important: Use move, not duplicate + delete, when the intent is a rename or relocation. Duplicate creates a second asset identity.

Log Reading Tool

read_logs

# List all logs
read_logs(action="list")

# Filter by category: System, Blueprint, Niagara, VibeUE
read_logs(action="list", category="Niagara")

# Get file info
read_logs(action="info", file="main")

# Read paginated content
read_logs(action="read", file="main", offset=0, limit=2000)

# Get last N lines
read_logs(action="tail", file="main", lines=50)

# Get first N lines
read_logs(action="head", file="main", lines=50)

# Regex filter with context
read_logs(
    action="filter",
    file="main",
    pattern="ERROR|EXCEPTION",
    context_lines=5,
    max_matches=100,
    case_sensitive=False
)

# Find errors
read_logs(action="errors", file="main", max_matches=20)

# Find warnings

# Get new content since last read
read_logs(action="since", file="main", last_line=2500)

# Get help documentation
read_logs(action="help")

File Aliases:

• main, system → Project log (FPS57.log)
• chat, vibeue → Chat history log
• llm → Raw LLM API log

Terrain Data Tool

terrain_data

# Preview elevation stats and get suggested settings
terrain_data(action="preview_elevation", lng=-122.4194, lat=37.7749)

# Generate a heightmap matching your landscape resolution
terrain_data(
    action="generate_heightmap",
    lng=-122.4194, lat=37.7749,
    base_level=0,
    height_scale=100,
    resolution=1009,        # MUST match landscape resolution
    format="png"
)

# Get a satellite or map reference image
terrain_data(
    action="get_map_image",
    lng=-122.4194, lat=37.7749,
    style="satellite-v9"    # satellite-v9, outdoors-v11, streets-v11, light-v10, dark-v10
)

# List available map image styles
terrain_data(action="list_styles")

# Fetch water features (rivers, lakes, ponds) for the same area
terrain_data(
    action="get_water_features",
    lng=-122.4194, lat=37.7749,
    map_size=17.28
)

Parameters (generate_heightmap):

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
action	string	(required)	generate_heightmap, preview_elevation, get_map_image, list_styles, get_water_features
lng	number	—	Longitude of center point
lat	number	—	Latitude of center point
format	string	png	Output: png, raw, zip
resolution	number	1081	Output NxN pixels — MUST match landscape resolution
map_size	number	17.28	Map size in km
base_level	number	0	Base elevation offset in meters
height_scale	number	100	Height scale % (1-250)
water_depth	number	40	Water depth in C:S units

sharpen	boolean	true	Apply sharpening
save_path	string	Saved/Terrain/	Custom output path

Workflow: preview_elevation → use suggested base_level and height_scale → generate_heightmap with resolution matching your landscape → import_heightmap via LandscapeService.

Water workflow: After importing a heightmap, call get_water_features with the same lng/lat/map_size. This saves a JSON file to Saved/Terrain/ with rivers (ue5_points) and water bodies (ue5_rings) in origin-centered UE5 coordinates. Use the saved JSON to create landscape splines for rivers and mesh planes for lakes.

Deep Research Tool

deep_research

# Web search (DuckDuckGo)
deep_research(action="search", query="Unreal Engine landscape best practices")

# Fetch URL as clean markdown
deep_research(action="fetch_page", url="https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/...")

# Place name → GPS coordinates
deep_research(action="geocode", query="Mount Fuji")

# GPS coordinates → place name
deep_research(action="reverse_geocode", lat=35.3606, lng=138.7274)

Parameters:

🧠 Using VibeUE with External AI Agents

When using VibeUE's MCP server with external AI agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.), you must include the VibeUE instructions in your AI system prompt or context.

Ready-made templates: See Content/samples/README.md for copy-paste setup instructions for each supported AI tool.

Why This Matters

The Plugins/VibeUE/Content/instructions/vibeue.instructions.md file contains:

• Critical API rules and gotchas (e.g., "compile before variable nodes")
• Skills system documentation (lazy-loaded knowledge domains)
• Common method naming mistakes to avoid
• Property format requirements for different services
• Essential safety rules (never block the editor, use full asset paths, etc.)

Without these instructions, AI agents will make incorrect assumptions about the API and encounter failures.

Claude Code ✅ Import Supported (Recommended)

Create CLAUDE.md at your project root:

# My Unreal Project

@Plugins/VibeUE/Content/samples/instructions.sample.md

The @ directive inlines the file automatically — no copying needed.

GitHub Copilot

Copy Plugins/VibeUE/Content/samples/instructions.sample.md to:

.github/copilot-instructions.md

Cursor

Copy Plugins/VibeUE/Content/samples/instructions.sample.md to:

.cursor/rules/vibeue.mdc

Google Antigravity

Copy Plugins/VibeUE/Content/samples/instructions.sample.md to:

.agent/rules/vibeue.md

Quick Reference: Essential Rules

The AI must know:

• ✅ Always use discover_python_class() before calling service methods
• ✅ Compile blueprints before adding variable nodes
• ✅ Use full asset paths (/Game/Path/Asset, not Asset)
• ✅ Property values are strings, not Python types
• ✅ Load skills with manage_skills for domain-specific knowledge
• ❌ Never guess method names - discover first
• ❌ Never use modal dialogs or blocking operations
• ❌ Never assume service counts or method availability

---

🎯 Skills System - Lazy-Loaded Domain Knowledge

VibeUE uses a Skills System to dramatically reduce AI context overhead while providing domain-specific guidance.

How It Works

Instead of loading all documentation at once, skills are lazy-loaded on demand:

1. AI detects the task (e.g., "Create a blueprint with variables")
2. Skill is automatically or manually loaded via manage_skills tool
3. Skill contains: Critical rules, workflows, common mistakes, property formats
4. AI uses skill knowledge combined with live discovery via discover_python_class

Available Skills

Each skill includes:

• Critical Rules - Gotchas that discovery can't tell you (e.g., method name mistakes)
• Workflows - Step-by-step patterns for common tasks
• Common Mistakes - Things to avoid (wrong property names, etc.)
• Property Formats - How to format values in Unreal string syntax

Domain Skills (dynamically discovered from Content/Skills/*/skill.md):

Skills are automatically discovered at runtime from the Content/Skills/ directory. Each skill folder contains a skill.md with YAML frontmatter defining its metadata. The system prompt's {SKILLS} token is replaced with a dynamically generated table of all available skills.

Current skills include: animation-blueprint, animation-editing, animation-montage, animsequence, asset-management, blueprint-graphs, blueprints, data-assets, data-tables, engine-settings, enhanced-input, enum-struct, foliage, landscape, landscape-auto-material, landscape-materials, level-actors, materials, niagara-emitters, niagara-systems, project-settings, screenshots, skeleton, sound-cues, state-trees, terrain-data, umg-widgets

Using Skills

In-Editor Chat - Skills auto-load based on keywords

External AI - Manually load with manage_skills tool:

# List all available skills
manage_skills(action="list")

# Load a specific skill
manage_skills(action="load", skill_name="blueprints")

# Load multiple skills together (deduplicated discovery)
manage_skills(action="load", skill_names=["blueprints", "enhanced-input"])

Skill response includes:

• vibeue_classes - Services to discover (e.g., BlueprintService)
• unreal_classes - Native UE classes (e.g., EditorAssetLibrary)
• content - Markdown with workflows and critical rules
• COMMON_MISTAKES - Quick reference for frequent errors

Workflow with Skills

The recommended pattern:

import unreal

# 1. Load relevant skill for domain knowledge
manage_skills(action="load", skill_name="blueprints")
# ↓ Skill response tells you about BlueprintService methods and critical rules

# 2. Discover exact method signatures BEFORE calling
unreal.BlueprintService  # Already know this from skill
discover_python_class("unreal.BlueprintService", method_filter="variable")
# ↓ Discovery returns: add_variable, remove_variable, list_variables, ...

# 3. Use discovered signatures with parameters from skill
path = unreal.BlueprintService.create_blueprint("BP_Player", "Actor", "/Game/Blueprints")
unreal.BlueprintService.add_variable(path, "Health", "Float", "100.0")
unreal.BlueprintService.compile_blueprint(path)  # Critical rule from skill!

Token Efficiency

Before Skills: 13,000 tokens of all docs loaded every conversation

After Skills: 2,500 base + domain skills on demand

• Blueprint task: 2.5k + 3.2k = 5.7k (56% reduction)
• Material task: 2.5k + 2.2k = 4.7k (64% reduction)
• Multi-domain: Load only what's needed (50-65% average)

---

All services are available via unreal.<ServiceName>.<method>().

Workflow: Discover Before Using

# ALWAYS discover service methods first

🌐 External IDE Integration

Connect VS Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or AntiGravity to control Unreal via MCP.

Enable MCP Server

In Project Settings > Plugins > VibeUE:

Setting	Default	Description
Enable MCP Server	Enabled	Toggle HTTP server
Port	8088	MCP endpoint port
Bearer Token	(empty)	MCP clients must send this as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Leave empty to allow unauthenticated connections.

Server runs at http://127.0.0.1:8088/mcp

⚠️ VibeUE API Key required: The MCP server validates your VibeUE API Key (set in the AI Chat settings) against vibeue.com at startup. All MCP tool calls will fail with an error until a valid key is configured. Get your free key at vibeue.com/login.

VS Code Configuration

Create .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "VibeUE": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8088/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop / Cursor / AntiGravity

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "VibeUE": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8088/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional: Use the VibeUE Proxy (recommended for persistent setups)

The proxy is optional and runs on http://127.0.0.1:8089/mcp.

Use it when you want:

• Tool definitions available even while Unreal Editor is closed
• MCP clients without local Authorization header management
• AI agent tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) that cannot set Authorization headers per-request

1) Set proxy bearer token

Create Plugins/VibeUE/vibeue-proxy.json:

{
  "bearer_token": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

YOUR_API_KEY must match Project Settings > Plugins > VibeUE > API Key.

2) Start the proxy

# Windows (silent background process — interactive shells / Explorer)
Start-Process -FilePath 'pythonw.exe' -ArgumentList 'Plugins/VibeUE/Content/Python/vibeue-proxy.py' -WindowStyle Hidden

AI agent / headless shells (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf): pythonw and start /B fail silently in headless contexts — errors are swallowed and the proxy never starts. Use python directly instead:

# Windows — AI agent / headless shell
python Plugins/VibeUE/Content/Python/vibeue-proxy.py &

# Mac / Linux
python3 Plugins/VibeUE/Content/Python/vibeue-proxy.py &

The proxy survives session close. Once started, it keeps running until the machine restarts or it is killed manually — no need to restart it each AI session.

Optional Windows auto-start: add a shortcut to Plugins/VibeUE/Content/Python/start-vibeue-proxy.bat in shell:startup. The bat kills any existing proxy instance before starting a fresh one, so it is safe to re-run if something goes wrong.

3) Point your MCP client to proxy (no auth header needed)

VS Code .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "VibeUE": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8089/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop / Cursor / AntiGravity:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "VibeUE": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8089/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The proxy injects the token from vibeue-proxy.json when forwarding requests to Unreal.

Verify the proxy is running before wiring up your MCP client:

# Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :8089

# Mac / Linux
lsof -i :8089

A LISTENING result on port 8089 confirms the proxy is up. If nothing appears, check that vibeue-proxy.json exists and Python is on your PATH.

📝 Custom Instructions

Add project-specific context in Plugins/VibeUE/Content/instructions/:

# Project: My Game

## Naming Conventions
- Blueprints: BP_<Type>_<Name>
- Widgets: WBP_<Name>
- Materials: M_<Surface>_<Variant>

All .md files in this directory are automatically concatenated and loaded as AI context.

Dynamic Token Replacement

The system prompt supports dynamic token replacement. When the instructions are loaded, certain tokens are replaced with dynamically generated content:

Token	Replacement	Source
{SKILLS}	Skills table with names, descriptions, and services	Scanned from Content/Skills/*/skill.md frontmatter

Example usage in vibeue.instructions.md:

## Available Skills

Load skills using `manage_skills(action="load", skill_name="<name>")`:

{SKILLS}

Generated output:

| Skill | Description | Services |
|-------|-------------|----------|
| `blueprints` | Create and modify Blueprint assets... | BlueprintService, AssetDiscoveryService |
| `materials` | Create and edit materials... | MaterialService, MaterialNodeService |
...

This allows the skills list to stay in sync automatically when skills are added, removed, or modified. Each skill's metadata is defined in its skill.md YAML frontmatter:

---
name: blueprints
display_name: Blueprint System
description: Create and modify Blueprint assets, variables, functions, components, and node graphs
vibeue_classes:
  - BlueprintService
  - AssetDiscoveryService
---

---

🔌 External MCP Servers

Connect additional MCP servers via Config/vibeue.mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "my-tool": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "my_mcp_tool"]
    }
  }
}

---

⚠️ Important Rules

Always Discover First

# DON'T guess APIs - discover them
# MCP: discover_python_class("unreal.BlueprintService")

Compile Before Variable Nodes

add_variable(path, "Health", "Float")
compile_blueprint(path)  # REQUIRED!
add_get_variable_node(path, graph, "Health", 0, 0)  # Now works

Use Full Asset Paths

# CORRECT
"/Game/Blueprints/BP_Player"

# WRONG
"BP_Player"

Never Block the Editor

Avoid: modal dialogs, input(), long time.sleep(), infinite loops
