Assets / Find

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-find --input '{
  "filter": "string_value",
  "searchInFolders": "string_value",
  "maxResults": 0
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-find --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-find --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

unity-mcp-cli

is not found, either install it globally (

npm install -g unity-mcp-cli

) or use

npx unity-mcp-cli

instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

Input

Name	Type	Required	Description
`filter`	`string`	No	The filter string can contain search data. Could be empty. Name: Filter assets by their filename (without extension). Words separated by whitespace are treated as separate name searches. Labels (l:): Assets can have labels attached to them. Use 'l:' before each label. Types (t:): Find assets based on explicitly identified types. Use 't:' keyword. Available types: AnimationClip, AudioClip, AudioMixer, ComputeShader, Font, GUISkin, Material, Mesh, Model, PhysicMaterial, Prefab, Scene, Script, Shader, Sprite, Texture, VideoClip, VisualEffectAsset, VisualEffectSubgraph. AssetBundles (b:): Find assets which are part of an Asset bundle. Area (a:): Find assets in a specific area. Valid values are 'all', 'assets', and 'packages'. Globbing (glob:): Use globbing to match specific rules. Note: Searching is case insensitive.
`searchInFolders`	`any`	No	The folders where the search will start. If null, the search will be performed in all folders.
`maxResults`	`integer`	No	Maximum number of assets to return. If the number of found assets exceeds this limit, the result will be truncated.
