Scene / Save

Save Opened scene to the asset file. Use 'scene-list-opened' tool to get the list of all opened scenes.

Inputs

• openedSceneName (optional) — name of an opened scene to save. Empty/null = active scene.
• path (optional) — destination .unity path. Empty/null = save back to the scene's existing path.

Validation

Throws if the scene cannot be resolved, has no existing path AND no override path was supplied, or the supplied path does not end with .unity. On EditorSceneManager.SaveScene failure, surfaces an error with the current opened-scenes list for diagnosis.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-save --input '{
  "openedSceneName": "string_value",
  "path": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-save --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-save --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
openedSceneName	string	No	Name of the opened scene that should be saved. Could be empty if need to save the current active scene.
path	string	No	Path to the scene file. Should end with ".unity". If null or empty save to the existed scene asset file.
