gameobject-create

Create a new GameObject in the currently opened Prefab or active Scene, optionally parented under another GameObject and pre-positioned. Pass `primitiveType` to spawn a Unity primitive (Cube, Sphere, etc.) instead of an empty GameObject.

GameObject / Create

Create a new GameObject in opened Prefab or in a Scene. If needed - provide proper 'position', 'rotation' and 'scale' to reduce amount of operations.

Inputs

  • name — required non-empty name.
  • parentGameObjectRef (optional) — when provided, the new GameObject is parented under this one (SetParent(parent, worldPositionStays: false)); otherwise it's created at scene/prefab root.
  • position / rotation / scale — optional transform; default to zero / zero / one.
  • isLocalSpace — when true, applies the transform in local space relative to the parent.
  • primitiveType (optional) — when set, the GameObject is created via GameObject.CreatePrimitive (adds the appropriate renderer/collider for the primitive shape).

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-create --input '{
  "name": "string_value",
  "parentGameObjectRef": "string_value",
  "position": "string_value",
  "rotation": "string_value",
  "scale": "string_value",
  "isLocalSpace": false,
  "primitiveType": "string_value"
}'

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

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

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-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.
