## What it does

summer adds an MCP server, the `summer` CLI, and game-development skills to Claude Code. The agent can create scenes, write scripts, launch the game, capture screenshots, and inspect editor errors. The skills cover movement, combat, multiplayer, VFX, audio, UI, and level design.

The package also supports project templates, publishing, asset work, and analytics after signing in to Summer. A `.summer/` project memory lets a new agent continue an existing project. Local setup requires Node 22 or later; without it, `npx -y summer-engine@latest setup <agent> --yes` cannot configure the local tools.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community

```

## When to use it
- assemble a game from scenes, scripts, and UI
- inspect a running game with screenshots and editor errors
- add matchmaking, parties, and leaderboards to multiplayer play
- publish a build to the Summer store
- resume a project through `.summer/` memory

## Install

- **Start a game now** (Node 22+): `npx -y summer-engine@latest dev`. It asks before it installs the Summer Engine app (about 660 MB, free) when it is missing, creates a starter project here (in `./my-game` when this folder has other files) and opens it, ready for your agent. No sign-in needed to build.
- **Chat apps** (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor...): add `https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp`. Nothing to install.
- **Homebrew:** `brew install summerengine/tap/summer`
- **npm** (Node 22+): `npm install -g summer-engine`

**CLI only** (summer-engine 4.2.0 or newer), no MCP server: `summer setup --cli`. `summer ops search "publish my game"` finds any operation, signed in or not.

## Connect

**Cloud work: `https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp`.** Nothing to install. Add the URL to your agent and sign in to your Summer account once. Your agent then makes assets (images, 3D models, motion, sound effects, music, voices, video), searches and downloads your Summer asset library, plans games, and runs your projects, the store, publishing, prices, analytics, A/B tests, your team and Studio. It has no engine tools: for those, use the local server below.

| Agent | Add the hosted server |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | `claude mcp add --transport http summer-cloud https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp`, then `/mcp` to sign in |
| Codex | `codex mcp add summer-cloud --url https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp`, then `codex mcp login summer-cloud` |
| Cursor | [Add to Cursor](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=summer-cloud&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5zdW1tZXJlbmdpbmUuY29tL21jcCJ9), or add `"summer-cloud": {"url": "https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp"}` under `mcpServers` in `~/.cursor/mcp.json` |
| VS Code | [Add to VS Code](https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=summer-cloud&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.summerengine.com%2Fmcp%22%7D), or `code --add-mcp '{"name":"summer-cloud","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp"}'` |
| Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) | add `"summer-cloud": {"serverUrl": "https://mcp.summerengine.com/mcp"}` under `mcpServers` in `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (Windows `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json`) |
| Claude Desktop, claude.ai | Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, then paste the URL |

**Engine work: `npx -y summer-engine@latest setup <agent> --yes`** (needs Node 22+). It writes the local server (`summer mcp`) into your agent's config with the skills. The local server drives the Summer Engine app on your machine: build scenes, write scripts, play the game, take screenshots, read errors. After `summer login` it also runs every cloud operation, so your agent needs one server. Or paste the prompt in [Get started](#get-started-one-prompt) and your agent does every step.
