Unreal Engine MCP Server

What it does

This server connects AI assistants directly to Unreal Engine 5 (versions 5.0-5.7), allowing for high-level automation of game development workflows. By leveraging a native C++ Automation Bridge plugin, it grants AI the ability to manipulate the engine's core systems without manual intervention.
