Assets / Create Material

Create new material asset with default parameters. Creates folders recursively if they do not exist. Provide proper 'shaderName' - use 'assets-shader-list-all' tool to find available shaders.

Inputs

  • assetPath — must start with Assets/ and end with .mat.
  • shaderName — name resolvable via UnityEngine.Shader.Find.

Behavior

Throws if the path is empty, malformed, or the shader cannot be resolved. Creates a default Material from the resolved shader, saves it, refreshes the AssetDatabase, and returns an AssetObjectRef pointing at the new asset.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-material-create --input '{
  "assetPath": "string_value",
  "shaderName": "string_value"
}'

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

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

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-material-create --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.
