UnrealBridgeREST

C++ REST API plugin for Unreal Engine + Claude Code skill for AI-driven editor automation.

Quick Start

1. Install Claude Code Plugin

claude plugin install unreal-bridge

2. Install UE Plugin to Your Project

/install-ue-rest "D:\Projects\UE\YourProject"

This creates a symlink from your project's Plugins/UnrealBridgeREST/ to the plugin source.

3. Open UE Project

Plugin compiles automatically. REST API starts on port 8080.

4. Use It

The unreal-bridge skill provides 50+ REST endpoints for automating:

• Actors — spawn, transform, destroy, list, properties
• Materials — create nodes, connect, parameters, import/export
• Blueprints — node CRUD, connect, compile, variables
• Assets — list, search, info, references, export
• Editor — camera, selection, live coding
• Level — info, outliner
• Python — execute code sync/async

API Documentation

See skills/unreal-bridge/references/endpoints/ for full endpoint documentation.

Development

Clone into a UE project's Plugins/ directory:

cd YourProject/Plugins
git clone https://github.com/yevhe/UnrealBridgeREST.git

Edit C++ source, compile via Live Coding (POST /editor/live_coding), test via REST on :8080.
