Description

Using claude multi-agent, I often have worktrees open in Unity while also having changes to a branch. In these circumstances, ReadUserScopeConfig can report NotConfigured for a working claude mcp add --scope local registration — claude mcp list shows UnityMCP Connected, but the MCP for Unity window says Claude Code isn't configured. Two independent causes, both observed live on Windows 11 on 2026-07-20:

  1. Duplicate path-variant keys shadow the real registration. ~/.claude.json accumulates duplicate projects keys for the same directory in different separator forms (D:/Dev/X vs D:\Dev\X). The reader merges duplicates last-entry-wins on the assumption the last is most recent, but JSON property order is not correlated with recency across variants — a stale variant without mcpServers can shadow the real entry.
  2. Git-worktree projects register under an unreachable key. claude mcp add --scope local keys the registration by the git main repo root. For a Unity project in a linked worktree (e.g. C:/Dev/stay-booping → repo C:/Dev/stay) that key is a sibling path, so the reader's ancestor walk can never reach it. The CLI resolves worktrees symmetrically, so the registration genuinely works — only the status check is blind.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Test update

Changes Made

All in MCPForUnity/Editor/Clients/McpClientConfiguratorBase.cs:

  • Merge duplicate normalized project keys by preferring the entry that actually carries a UnityMCP registration (new RegistrationRank: UnityMCP > any mcpServers > none; last-wins preserved among equal ranks).
  • After the ancestor walk finds nothing, parse the main repo root from a linked worktree's .git pointer file (gitdir: <root>/.git/worktrees/<name>, relative paths resolved) and retry the walk from there (new GetGitMainRepoRoot). Regular checkouts (.git directory) are unaffected.
  • The walk itself is extracted into FindUnityServerFromWalk so both starting points share it; existing semantics preserved, including "stop at the first project entry found even without UnityMCP".

Compatibility / Package Source

  • Unity version(s) tested: 2022.3.62f2 and 6000.4.1f1 (both editors running simultaneously against one local HTTP server)
  • Package source used (#beta, #main, tag, branch, or file:): https://github.com/conjoyco/unity-mcp.git?path=/MCPForUnity#v10.1.0-conjoyco.1 (branch fix/claude-config-key-matching, cut from v10.1.0)
  • Resolved commit hash from Packages/packages-lock.json (if using a Git package URL): 2d00ed2e877fdeb103fa64e3b0ed72f5c112a857

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

  • Python tests (cd Server && uv run pytest tests/ -v)
  • Unity EditMode tests
  • Unity PlayMode tests
  • Package import/compile check
  • Not applicable (explain why in Additional Notes)

Live verification against both original failures (details in Additional Notes):

  • Worktree: CheckStatus on the worktree project returned NotConfigured before the patch and Configured after, with identical inputs (claude mcp list Connected throughout).
  • Duplicate keys: deliberately re-injected the observed failure configuration (stale backslash-variant key with empty mcpServers ordered after the real forward-slash key) — patched reader still reports Configured. No regression on a project with a single clean key.

Documentation Updates

  • I have added/removed/modified tools or resources
  • If yes, I have updated all documentation files using:
    • The LLM prompt at tools/UPDATE_DOCS_PROMPT.md (recommended)
    • Manual review of the generated changes

Related Issues

Relates to #664 (the --scope local registration path this reader parses).

Additional Notes

  • Changes are C#-only in the Claude config reader; Python server untouched, hence no Python tests. No EditMode coverage exists for this path today — happy to add a small test for RegistrationRank/GetGitMainRepoRoot if you'd like it as part of this PR.
  • Branch is cut from v10.1.0; happy to rebase onto beta if preferred — both commits are self-contained in one file and should cherry-pick cleanly.
  • Both failure modes arise naturally on Windows: separator-variant duplicates accumulate from tools writing ~/.claude.json with different cwd string forms, and worktree-based Unity projects are common in multi-branch workflows.

ReadUserScopeConfig merged duplicate normalized project keys from
~/.claude.json ("D:/Dev/X" vs "D:\Dev\X") last-entry-wins, on the
assumption the last is most recent. JSON property order is not
correlated with recency across variants: when the last duplicate is a
stale entry without mcpServers it shadows the real registration, and
CheckStatus reports NotConfigured despite a working
`claude mcp add --scope local` setup (observed live 2026-07-20).

Merge by preferring the entry that actually carries a UnityMCP
registration (then any mcpServers, then last-wins as before).

`claude mcp add --scope local` keys the registration in ~/.claude.json
by the git MAIN repo root. When the Unity project is a linked worktree
(e.g. C:/Dev/stay-booping -> repo C:/Dev/stay) that key is a sibling
path, so ReadUserScopeConfig's ancestor walk never finds it and
CheckStatus reports NotConfigured while the CLI itself resolves the
worktree fine (`claude mcp list` shows Connected). Parse the main root
from the worktree's .git pointer file and retry the walk from there.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds agent identity propagation, command arbitration, agent and lease MCP surfaces, test-run attribution, and improved Claude configuration lookup for duplicate projects and linked git worktrees.

Changes

Agent identity and control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Claude configuration resolution
MCPForUnity/Editor/Clients/McpClientConfiguratorBase.cs
Duplicate project entries are ranked by RegistrationRank. UnityMCP lookup stops at configured project boundaries and retries from linked worktree main roots.
Agent identity transport
MCPForUnity/Editor/Models/*, Server/src/transport/*, MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/Transport/*
MCP contexts produce stable agent identities. Unity command envelopes carry the identity, including across executor thread hops.
Governance and lease surfaces
MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/AgentGovernor.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Resources/Editor/*, MCPForUnity/Editor/Tools/ManageAgentLease.cs, Server/src/services/resources/*, Server/src/services/tools/manage_agent_lease.py
AgentGovernor reviews commands and returns structured denials. Agent directory and advisory lease resources and tools expose installed capabilities and lease actions.
Test attribution and validation
MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/TestRunStatus.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/TestRunnerService.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/EditorStateCache.cs, Server/tests/*
Test runs record the initiating client display name. Editor state reports the value, and server tests cover identity propagation and lease parameter forwarding.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a2836

The PR adds command arbitration, identity propagation, and lease APIs alongside the configuration-reader fix. A policy failure can allow a command and disable protection for later commands, while identity and lease ownership guarantees remain unresolved; the lease surface also may not be discoverable or registered correctly. These security and integration risks require fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 39.39% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 66 functions across 21 files. (5 skipped: 5 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the Claude configuration fix and records compatibility and live verification details. However, it does not describe the many additional agent identity, lease, resource, tool, and server changes listed in the changeset. It also incorrectly states that all changes are in McpClientConfiguratorBase.cs and that the Python server is untouched.

Resolution

Update the description to accurately cover all changed files and behavior, or remove unrelated changes from the pull request. Reconcile the statements about C#-only changes and the untouched Python server. Document the added tools and resources, update the Documentation Updates section, and list all relevant tests or explain why they were not run.

Enable automatic discovery and use ToolParams.

AutoRegister = false prevents automatic discovery of manage_agent_lease. The server cannot advertise this lease surface unless separate registration exists.

Remove AutoRegister = false. Use ToolParams and RequireString("action") instead of reading JObject directly.

As per coding guidelines: “C# tools must use the [McpForUnityTool] attribute … for auto-registration” and “C# tool handlers must use ToolParams class for consistent parameter validation.”

Add the required tool group.

@mcp_for_unity_tool has no group parameter. Add a supported group, such as group="core", to keep the tool registration metadata consistent.

Escape the generated Python path literal.

If the checkout path contains ', Line 56 generates invalid Python code and this test fails before importing label_for. Serialize str(src) with repr() instead of inserting it into a quoted raw string.

Proposed fix
-        "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, r'%s');"
+        "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, %s);"
         "from transport.agent_identity import label_for; print(label_for('stable-session'))"
