Package search

Package Manager / Search

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-search --input '{
  "query": "string_value",
  "maxResults": 0,
  "offlineMode": false
}'

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

unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-search --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-search --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

Name	Type	Required	Description
query	string	Yes	The package id, name, or description. Can be: Full package id 'com.unity.textmeshpro', Full package name 'TextMesh Pro', Partial name 'TextMesh' (will search in Unity registry and installed packages), Description keyword 'rendering' (searches in package descriptions).
maxResults	integer	No	Maximum number of results to return. Default: 10
