Naninovel

Unity C# plugin that exposes Naninovel script authoring and playback controls via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI assistants to write, edit, and test visual novel scripts.

Features

• Independent of Play Mode - Server runs in Editor at all times
• NaniScript CRUD - Create, read, update, delete script files
• Direct Playback - Skip title screen and jump to any script/label
• Input Simulation - Advance dialogue, simulate key presses
• Visual Verification - Screenshot capture for scene validation

Quick Start

1. Open Unity Editor
2. Server auto-starts (or open Window > Nani MCP > Server Status)
3. Connect your MCP client to http://localhost:6274

For Antigravity, add to your mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nani-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "http://localhost:6274"
    }
  }
}
