With the Unity Pipeline package (Unity 6.0+), `unity command` and `unity eval` drive the Editor directly, and `unity mcp` provides an MCP server (`unity mcp configure <client>` writes the client config). `unity skill install <agent>` installs Unity's agent skills. Unity says it replaces the deprecated in-Editor MCP server in com.unity.ai.assistant. The CLI is free and needs no Unity AI subscription. It runs a local, offline, localhost-only pipeline server and works headless for CI. Distributed as a standalone binary, Homebrew cask, .deb/.rpm, AppImage, MSIX and npm. The docs label it experimental. Latest release noted: 1.0.0-beta.14 (2026-10-21).
