Unreal MCP (editor)

Unreal Engine 5.8 ships an experimental Unreal MCP plugin for editor automation — inspecting levels, Blueprints, and assets in the open project.

That is different from YetiTech Docs MCP, which searches documentation on docs.yetitechstudios.com.

You can use both in the same session: Unreal MCP to inspect your open project, YetiTech Docs MCP to look up plugin guides and API reference.
