assets-create-folder

name

assets-create-folder

description

Creates a new folder in the specified parent folder. The parent folder string must start with the 'Assets' folder, and all folders within the parent folder string must already exist. For example, when specifying 'Assets/ParentFolder1/ParentFolder2/', the new folder will be created in 'ParentFolder2' only if ParentFolder1 and ParentFolder2 already exist. Use it to organize scripts and assets in the project. Does AssetDatabase.Refresh() at the end. Returns the GUID of the newly created folder, if successful.

Assets / Create Folder

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-create-folder --input '{
  "inputs": "string_value"
}'

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

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-create-folder --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-create-folder --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.
