version: "1.0.0" name: editor-application-set-state description: Start / stop / pause the Unity Editor 'playmode'. Use 'editor-application-get-state' to inspect the current state first. Throws if the project currently has compilation errors. metadata: generated-by: mcp-plugin-dotnet

Editor / Application / Set State

Control the Unity Editor application state. You can start, stop, or pause the 'playmode'. Use 'editor-application-get-state' tool to get the current state first.

Inputs

isPlaying (default false) — sets EditorApplication.isPlaying.
isPaused (default false) — sets EditorApplication.isPaused.

Behavior

Refuses any state change while EditorUtility.scriptCompilationFailed is true — instead throws with the compilation error details so the caller can fix them first. On success returns the post-change EditorStatsData snapshot.

How to Call

bash

unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-application-set-state --input '{
  "isPlaying": false,
  "isPaused": false
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-application-set-state --input-file args.json
```
Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-application-set-state --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
`isPlaying`	`boolean`	No	If true, the 'playmode' will be started. If false, the 'playmode' will be stopped.
`isPaused`	`boolean`	No	If true, the 'playmode' will be paused. If false, the 'playmode' will be resumed.
