Editor / Application / Set State

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-application-set-state --input '{
  "isPlaying": false,
  "isPaused": false
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use: ``bash unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-application-set-state --input-file args.json ``

>

Or pipe via stdin (recommended): ``bash unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-application-set-state --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.
