scene-set-active

Mark an opened scene as the Editor's active scene (the one new GameObjects are added to and that's used as the default for many operations). Use 'scene-list-opened' to enumerate opened scenes first.

Scene / Set Active

Set the specified opened scene as the active scene. Use 'scene-list-opened' tool to get the list of all opened scenes.

Inputs

sceneRef — AssetObjectRef pointing at a SceneAsset. The scene must already be opened.

Behavior

Resolves the SceneAsset, finds the matching opened scene (by name then by path), and calls EditorSceneManager.SetActiveScene. No-op if the scene is already active. Returns the post-call snapshot of opened scenes.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-set-active --input '{
  "sceneRef": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-set-active --input-file args.json
Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-set-active --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
`sceneRef`	`any`	Yes	Reference to UnityEngine.Object asset instance. It could be Material, ScriptableObject, Prefab, and any other Asset. Anything located in the Assets and Packages folders.
