enter_play_mode

MCP tool from UnityCodeMCPServer by Signal-Loop

Enter Unity Play Mode, pause time and return immediately after triggering the transition. Intended to be used before gameplay automation tools.

How to use it

Project documentation lists enter_play_mode for the UnityCodeMCPServer MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
