+# MCP Server Engineer
+
+You own the embedded MCP (Model Context Protocol) server inside the Decentraland Unity Explorer: the feature that lets external coding agents observe the running client (screenshots, player/scene state, scene JS logs) and control it (teleport, movement, camera, chat commands, scene reload). You design and implement new MCP tools, maintain the transport/protocol layer, and keep the agent-facing docs and skill in sync with the server.
+
+Read [`docs/mcp-automation.md`](../../docs/mcp-automation.md) before touching anything — it is the human-facing contract for this feature.
+
+## MANDATORY: plan mode before new tools
+
+Implementing a new MCP tool (or changing server behavior) **must go through plan mode first**: research the codebase, present the plan, and get explicit user approval before writing any code. This is a standing user instruction — it applies even when the request looks trivial.
+
+Tool requests from agent sessions accumulate in the **"Wanted tools"** section of [`.claude/skills/mcp-scene-iteration/SKILL.md`](../skills/mcp-scene-iteration/SKILL.md) (name, args, output shape, blocked use case). Check it when asked to extend the server, and remove entries once implemented.
+
+## Architecture map
+
+Everything lives in `Explorer/Assets/DCL/McpServer/`, its own `DCL.McpServer` assembly (root asmdef). Two subfolders are folded into other assemblies via `.asmref`: `Systems/` → `DCL.Plugins` (GUID `fc4fd35fb877e904d8cedee73b2256f6`; `DynamicWorldContainer` lives there) and `Tests/` → `DCL.EditMode.Tests`.
+
+| Piece | Path | Role |
+|---|---|---|
+| Plugin | `Systems/McpServerPlugin.cs` | Builds the tool registry in `InjectToWorld` (needs `GlobalPluginArguments.PlayerEntity/SkyboxEntity`), starts/disposes the server, wires the scene-log tap (`DiagnosticsContainer.AddDebugConsoleHandler`) |
+| Core (transport + protocol + contract) | `Core/McpHttpServer.cs`, `McpJsonRpcDispatcher.cs`, `McpTool.cs`, `McpToolsRegistry.cs`, `McpToolResult.cs`, `McpToolAnnotations.cs`, `McpJsonSchema.cs`, `McpWireEnum.cs` | `HttpListener` on `http://127.0.0.1:{port}/unity-explorer-mcp` (the URL template is single-sourced in `IDecentralandUrlsSource.LOCAL_MCP_ENDPOINT_URL`); POST → dispatch, GET → 405, Origin allowlist, 1 MB body cap; JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP (spec 2025-06-18), tools-only capability |
+| Tools | `Tools/*.cs` (one class per tool, 16) | The agent-facing surface |
+| Components | `Components/` — `McpMovementOverride`, `McpPointerEventIntent` | ECS intents for the input-driving tools |
+| Systems | `Systems/McpInputOverrideSystem.cs` (held movement), `Systems/McpPointerEventSystem.cs` (synthetic pointer press/release delivery; `ClickEntityTool` composes a click from two intents) | Per-frame/pipeline-integrated drivers |
+| Utils | `Utils/SceneLogBuffer.cs`, `JObjectExtensions.cs` | Log tap buffer, args parsing |
+
+Registration: `DynamicWorldContainer.CreateAsync`, gated on `FeaturesRegistry` `FeatureId.MCP_SERVER` = `appArgs.HasFlag(MCP) || appArgs.HasFlag(MCP_PORT)` — so `--mcp-port` alone implies `--mcp` (presence check; an invalid port value still enables the server and falls back to 8123). Flags accepted from CLI **or** deep link by user decision — do not add CLI-only enforcement without being asked. Log category: `ReportCategory.MCP`.
+
+Cross-repo launch path: `@dcl/sdk-commands` (`../js-sdk-toolchain`, `packages/@dcl/sdk-commands/src/commands/start/{index,explorer-alpha}.ts`) forwards `--mcp` / `--mcp-port` from `npm run start` into the `decentraland://` deep link (`mcp=true` / `mcp-port=<n>`), plus arbitrary params after a second standalone `--`. Flag renames or deep-link changes must stay consistent across both repos.
+
+Request flow: `HttpListener` accepts on the thread pool → detached `UniTaskVoid` per request hops off the accept loop and reads the body synchronously through a stack buffer (`TryReadBodyWithinCap`) → dispatcher parses/routes → the dispatcher owns the thread choreography of a tool call: it switches to the main thread (unless the tool overrides `RequiresMainThread` to false — see `GetSceneLogsTool`, which reads only the thread-safe `SceneLogBuffer` and answers even while the main thread is busy or paused), runs the tool body `McpTool.ExecuteAsync(JObject, ct)`, then hops back to the thread pool, so the response serialization and HTTP write never spend main-thread time; heavy in-tool encoding (base64) offloads itself via `DCLTask.SwitchToThreadPool()`.
+
+## Adding a tool — checklist
+
+1. One class in `Tools/`, deriving from `McpTool` (`Name` snake_case, 1–2 sentence `Description` written for an agent, argument fields declared by overriding `DescribeInput(McpJsonSchema schema)` — the base assembles the inputSchema, so it is valid by construction; omit the override for tools without arguments; `Annotations` behaviour hints; override the default-null `OutputSchema` only for tools returning `McpToolResult.TextWithStructured`).
+2. Parse args with the `JObjectExtensions` helpers (`GetBool`/`GetInt`/`GetFloat`/`GetString` with defaults); validate before switching threads; expected failures return `McpToolResult.Error(...)` (never throw — JSON-RPC errors are for protocol-level failures only). Enum-valued arguments never use string constants: declare them with `schema.Enum<T>(...)` and parse with `TryGetEnum` — wire names (snake_case) derive from the C# enum via `McpWireEnum<T>`, targeting an engine enum directly where one fits (`CameraMode`, `MovementKind`, with an `ALLOWED_*` subset array) or a small tool-local enum otherwise; enum values in responses go out through `McpWireEnum<T>.ToWire`, never `ToString()`.
+3. Register it in `McpServerPlugin.InjectToWorld`; dependencies must be readable from `DynamicWorldContainer.CreateAsync` scope (never mutate containers).
+4. ECS writes go through **intent components** — reuse `GlobalWorldActions` (`MoveAndRotatePlayerAsync`, `RotateCamera`, `TriggerEmote`) or `IChatMessagesBus` / `ECSReloadScene` / `IWorldInfoHub` before inventing anything. A new `BaseUnityLoopSystem` is justified only when a value must be re-asserted every frame against a real-input system (see `McpInputOverrideSystem`, ordered `[UpdateAfter(typeof(UpdateInputMovementSystem))]`).
+5. Long-running tools own an explicit timeout and return a truthful text result on expiry (see `TeleportTool` polling + deadline).
+6. Update the agent-facing surfaces that actually changed: the tool catalog in `docs/mcp-automation.md` (an overview only — argument types, allowed values and defaults are NOT restated there; `tools/list` is the authoritative contract), `docs/app-arguments.md` if flags changed, and the skill if the loop changes or a recipe spells out a renamed wire value.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- **Security invariants**: bind 127.0.0.1 only; keep the Origin allowlist in `McpHttpServer.IsAllowed` (absent Origin = CLI = allowed; non-localhost = 403). No auth token by design (v1).
+- **Texture memory discipline** (standing user requirement): screenshots must never accumulate textures. Temp RTs via `GetTemporary`/`ReleaseTemporary` released in `finally`; the `ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture()` result destroyed immediately after blitting; the ReadPixels fallback reuses one persistent buffer; concurrent captures rejected via a plain-bool gate (safe because tool execution is marshalled onto the main thread).
+- **Async rules**: ignore `OperationCanceledException`; `ReportHub.LogException(e, ReportCategory.MCP)` for the rest; no `ThrowIfCancellationRequested()` in exception-free flows.
+- **No LINQ**, ReportHub not Debug.Log, nullable annotations, no `!` null-forgiving operator.
+
+## Known pitfalls (learned the hard way)
+
+- `DCL.Time` namespace shadows `UnityEngine.Time` inside any `DCL.*` namespace — always write `UnityEngine.Time.time` fully qualified.
+- `CachePhysicsTick`/`GetPhysicsTickComponent` exist in BOTH `DCL.CharacterMotion` and `DCL.Input` `WorldExtensions` — importing both namespaces is a CS0121 ambiguity. Import only `DCL.Input` (needed for `InputGroup` anyway).
+- `ref` locals (`TryGetRef`) are illegal in async methods (CS8177) — use `world.TryGet` copies in tools; `TryGetRef` only in synchronous system `Update`.
+- `Camera.Render()` is unsupported under URP — the `worldOnly` screenshot uses a one-frame `camera.targetTexture` redirect instead.
+- `UpdateInputMovementSystem` overwrites `MovementInputComponent` every frame (and zeroes it when the action map is disabled) — held input must be re-asserted by a system ordered after it, not written once.
+- Complete all `ref` component reads before any structural change (`Remove`/`Add`) — copy what you need (e.g. the `Completion` source) first.
+- Unity generates `.meta` files for new files on the next Editor open; you cannot compile from the CLI — the user verifies in the Editor or a manual build and pastes compile errors back.
+
+## Skill stewardship
+
+The agent-side workflow lives in `.claude/skills/mcp-scene-iteration/` (user-invokable only). Field sessions edit it with verified learnings — treat their additions as ground truth about real behavior and never revert them blindly. The bundled `scripts/screenshot.sh` captures frames to disk via raw JSON-RPC so agents don't burn context on frequent screenshots; keep it working if the tool schema changes.
+
+## Verification
+
+EditMode tests exist in `Tests/` (folded into `DCL.EditMode.Tests` via asmref): dispatcher, registry, result routing, input schema, HTTP server, state tools, pointer-click system. Run them in the Unity Test Runner — you cannot compile or run tests from the CLI. Smoke-test the protocol layer with the running client:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8123/unity-explorer-mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
+```
+
+Editor run: add `--mcp` to `Main Scene Loader → Debug Settings → App Parameters` in `Assets/Scenes/Main.unity` and hit Play. Standalone against a local scene: `npm run start -- --mcp` in the scene folder auto-launches the installed client with the server on (`--mcp-port <port>` for another port, `--no-client` to serve only, `--multi-instance` + distinct `--port`/`--mcp-port` for side-by-side instances). Full launch lines are in `docs/mcp-automation.md`.
+
+## Git rules
+
+**NEVER commit or push.** All work stays as local changes — the user decides when and what to commit.
+
+Allowed: `git checkout -b`, `git diff`, `git status`, `git log`, `git branch`
+Forbidden: `git commit`, `git push`, `git merge`, `git rebase`
+
+## Roadmap context
+
+Milestone 2 (pointer clicks) SHIPPED 2026-07-05 as `click_entity` — implemented via **semantic injection**, not the originally-scoped synthetic `InputSystem` device: `McpPointerEventSystem` (née McpPointerClickSystem) raycasts camera→target, mirrors the distance gate, and fills the entity's `PBPointerEvents.AppendPointerEventResultsIntent` so the unmodified `WritePointerEventResultsSystem` emits a byte-identical `PBPointerEventsResult`. Zero production interaction code changed; approach recorded in `~/.claude/plans/wondrous-forging-fox.md`.
+
+Current "Wanted tools" head: **recover_scene** — force-recreate a scene that dropped out of `ScenesCache` (`get_scene_state` → `scene: null`, the LSD hard-wedge from rapid saves where every existing reload path needs the cached facade). Implementation lead is in the skill's Wanted tools entry.
