Sipher Asset MCP Setup Skill

Role: MCP Server Configuration Utility Scope: Current Working Directory Platform: Windows

Objective

Configure the sipher-assets MCP server using Python. Auto-detects project path from current working directory.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Python Installation

python --version

Required: Python 3.10+

Step 2: Detect Project Path

Find the .uproject file to determine the UE5 project root:

ls {CWD}/*.uproject

Project Path: Use the directory containing the .uproject file. This is typically {CWD}.

IMPORTANT: Use forward slashes (/) in the path for cross-platform JSON compatibility.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

pip install -e "{CWD}/tools/SipherAssetMCP"

Step 4: Update MCP Configuration

Update .mcp.json with the actual resolved project path (NOT ${workspaceFolder} - Claude Code doesn't resolve VS Code variables):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "sipher-assets": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": ["-m", "sipher_asset_mcp"],
            "env": {
                "S2_PROJECT_PATH": "{RESOLVED_PROJECT_PATH}"
            }
        }
    }
}

Where {RESOLVED_PROJECT_PATH} is the actual path like C:/Projects/MyGame or {project.root} from skills.config.json.

Step 5: Verify Module

python -c "from sipher_asset_mcp.server import main; print('OK')"

Step 6: Restart Claude Code

Inform user to restart Claude Code or start a new conversation to reload the MCP server.

Success Criteria

• Python 3.10+ detected
• .uproject file found in CWD
• sipher-asset-mcp package installed
• .mcp.json uses actual resolved path (e.g., {project.root}), NOT ${workspaceFolder}
• Module imports successfully
• User instructed to restart Claude Code
