Write a reviewWhy it got a C
This is Epic's own server, not a community project: the Unreal MCP plugin ships inside Unreal Editor and the Epic repo here is the Claude Code plugin (skills and a session hook) that drives it. Enable the Unreal MCP and All Toolsets plugins, and it serves Streamable HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8000/mcp with hundreds of tools across actors, Blueprints, materials, Niagara, Sequencer and automation tests. Epic's docs label it Experimental. Biggest deduction: there is no authentication, so any local process can call the editor's tools, and execute_tool_script runs arbitrary Python in the editor with full project access; Epic leaves tool approval to the client, so keep approvals on, don't use --dangerously-skip-permissions, and commit your project first. The engine source is not public, so only the plugin repo's maintenance could be checked.
