Scene / Get Data

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-get-data --input '{
  "openedSceneName": "string_value",
  "includeRootGameObjects": false,
  "includeChildrenDepth": 0,
  "includeBounds": false,
  "includeData": false
}'

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

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-get-data --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-get-data --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If

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

NameTypeRequiredDescription
openedSceneName

NoIf true, includes root GameObjects in the scene data.
includeChildrenDepth
integer
NoDetermines the depth of the hierarchy to include.
includeBounds
boolean
NoIf true, includes bounding box information for GameObjects.
includeData
boolean
NoIf true, includes component data for GameObjects.
