Glade Mcp
Project-aware AI assistant for Unity and Godot that reads your scripts, scenes, and hierarchy, then acts in the editor
If you build in Unity or Godot and you're tired of pasting snippets into a chat window, GladeKit is the grounded alternative: it acts in the Editor, not just advises. The open-source MCP server is the standout — you keep Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf and still get 300+ engine-aware tools. The 50-interaction Indie tier is a trial, not a workflow, so budget for the $15/mo Pro plan quickly. Unreal developers should look elsewhere for now, and anyone wanting web-only tooling will need the desktop app. Meshy integration is Unity-only at launch.

Skip GladeKit if you build in Unreal Engine, or if you need Meshy 3D model generation inside Godot today — it is Unity-only for now.
The free Indie tier stops after 50 AI interactions, so a real project realistically starts at the $15/mo Pro plan.
GladeKit is priced for solo indies and small studios: Indie is free with 50 interactions, Pro is $15/mo, Ultra $45/mo, and Max $145/mo. That puts it in the same range as general AI coding assistants, and below what most engine plugin tooling costs per seat. The Ultra tier's 4x and Max's 13x+ agent limits imply heavier agent use is where the money goes, so teams running agents all day should compare Max against the cost of the same output from a general assistant plus manual setup.

About Glade Mcp
GladeKit is an AI assistant for game developers building in Unity and Godot. Rather than answering from a blank prompt, it reads your actual project — scene hierarchy, scripts, selection, and settings — so its suggestions and actions are grounded in real context. It writes, refactors, and debugs Unity C# code, creates GameObjects and components, builds prefabs and materials, adjusts scenes, and searches free, commercial-safe asset packs by genre, style, or format and imports them directly. The Unity API knowledge is deep: the docs describe it as full understanding of engine APIs, source code, and functions. You can switch between Agent, Debug, and Ask modes and control how much project context gets sent. GladeKit ships as a desktop app for Unity and Godot, plus an open-source MCP server that connects Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf to either engine — 300+ granular tools, an engine-aware system prompt, game design document project context, script semantic search, and skill calibration. Meshy AI integration lets you generate game-ready 3D models from your own API key without leaving the app (Unity only for now, Godot coming). Project data is never used to train models. Free tier gives 50 AI interactions; paid plans run $15/mo Pro, $45/mo Ultra, and $145/mo Max.
Behind the Verdict
Most AI coding assistants see a file. GladeKit sees a game. The distinction matters because game bugs live in the space between things — a script that's fine in isolation but breaks because the prefab referencing it lost a component, or a physics collider sized wrong for a scene that gets regenerated at runtime. GladeKit's docs are explicit about the problem it solves: existing AI tools don't integrate with Unity or Godot, so you spend your prompt describing scene context the model can't see, and they can't act in the Editor at all. GladeKit reads your scene hierarchy, scripts, selection, and settings, and then writes scripts, creates GameObjects, components, prefabs, materials, UI, and physics. The way it fits into a real workflow is what makes it useful rather than novel. If you already live in Cursor or Claude Code, you don't have to abandon that — the MCP server is open-source and connects those clients to Unity or Godot with 300+ granular tools, an engine-aware system prompt, game design document project context, script semantic search, and skill calibration. That means your existing AI workflow gets the project context it was missing, instead of you maintaining two separate tools with different mental models. Control over context is handled better than most. You choose how much of the project gets sent, and you switch freely between Agent, Debug, and Ask modes — which maps onto how development actually alternates between doing, fixing, and thinking. The asset pack search is a practical addition: free, commercial-safe packs searched by genre, style, or format and imported straight in, which removes a licensing research chore most indies handle badly. The Meshy AI integration is genuinely time-saving if you model — you connect your own Meshy API key and generate game-ready models inside the app — but it's Unity-only at launch, so Godot developers wait. Where it's weaker: the free Indie tier's 50 interactions disappear fast on a real project, so the realistic entry price is $15/mo Pro. Engine coverage is Unity and Godot only — Unreal is still roadmap, and if your team ships Unreal, this isn't the tool. It's also desktop-first: there's no equivalent web-only path, so the app is part of the deal. Evaluation is your job, not the tool's — GladeKit writes into your scene, and you should review changes and commit often, which the docs themselves support via their 'Reviewing Changes' guide. The honest summary: for solo indies and small Unity or Godot teams, GladeKit removes the most tedious part of the loop — describing your project to an AI that can't see it. That's a real gain, not a demo trick.

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Glade Mcp actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
You open the GladeKit desktop app with your project loaded, type 'create a player with WASD movement,' and the agent creates the Player GameObject with a PlayerController component in your scene.
Outcome: A playable movement stub in the scene in minutes instead of a half-hour of boilerplate, which you then tune by hand.
You install the open-source GladeKit MCP server, connect Cursor to your Godot project, and use the 300+ tools and engine-aware system prompt to query and edit scripts in your existing editor.
Outcome: Your Cursor workflow gains real scene and script context without you switching tools or re-describing the project each time.
You search free, commercial-safe asset packs by genre and style inside GladeKit and import the ones that fit your project's look directly.
Outcome: Placeholder art gets replaced faster, with commercial-safe licensing settled at import rather than tracked in a spreadsheet.
Use Cases
- Describe a game mechanic in natural language and have GladeKit generate the scripts and prefabs to prototype it.
- Ask GladeKit to troubleshoot a broken script or odd scene behavior using your real project context.
- Search free, commercial-safe asset packs by genre or style and import them straight into your project.
- Generate custom 3D models with your Meshy API key without leaving the GladeKit app, then drop them into your project.
- Set up a player character with WASD movement by describing it in chat and letting the agent build the GameObject.
- Automate repetitive editor work like creating materials, UI elements, or physics components.
- Connect Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf to Unity or Godot through the MCP server so your existing AI client sees the project.
- Run beta and usability tests to refine gameplay loops.
Limitations
- Engine coverage is Unity and Godot; Unreal is still on the roadmap.
- The Meshy AI 3D model generation integration is Unity-only at launch, with Godot support described as coming soon.
- The Indie tier's 50 free AI interactions run out quickly on a real project, so most working developers end up on a paid plan.
- Using the MCP server requires a compatible client such as Cursor or Claude Code, plus setup — the vendor publishes MCP setup docs for it.
- GladeKit acts directly in your Editor, so changes to scripts, prefabs, and scenes should be reviewed and version-controlled, and the docs include a dedicated Reviewing Changes guide.

What this tier adds
Adds extended usage limits, priority support, and advanced code suggestions over Indie.
Ultra
$45/mo
Ideal for
Power users and small teams running the agent heavily across a full production project.
What this tier adds
Quadruples agent limits versus Pro and adds a priority queue and advanced features.
Max
$145/mo
Ideal for
Studios and the heaviest agent users who want the highest throughput and first access to new capabilities.
What this tier adds
More than 13x agent limits versus Indie, plus early access to features and premium support.
Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where Glade Mcp's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
GladeKit is priced for solo indies and small studios: Indie is free with 50 interactions, Pro is $15/mo, Ultra $45/mo, and Max $145/mo. That puts it in the same range as general AI coding assistants, and below what most engine plugin tooling costs per seat. The Ultra tier's 4x and Max's 13x+ agent limits imply heavier agent use is where the money goes, so teams running agents all day should compare Max against the cost of the same output from a general assistant plus manual setup.
Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Glade Mcp — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
Solo devs on Unity or Godot: the docs describe setup as taking minutes, and the free Indie tier lets you try it with no card. Teams connecting Cursor or Claude Code through the MCP server should budget a bit longer for the MCP setup docs and client config before the first agent run lands in the Editor.
Switching to or from Glade Mcp
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From generic AI coding assistants: connect the GladeKit MCP server to keep your existing client and add engine context.
- →From manually writing editor boilerplate: install the GladeKit desktop app and let Agent mode create the GameObjects, components, and prefabs.
- →From a blank-prompt workflow: switch to GladeKit so scene hierarchy, scripts, and settings supply context automatically.
- ↗To a general AI coding assistant: export your scripts and keep working outside the engine, losing direct Editor actions.
- ↗To a different engine toolchain: your Unity or Godot project files stay portable, but the MCP tool integrations do not carry over.
- ↗To manual development: disable the agent and work in the Editor directly, keeping full control at the cost of the automated steps.
