## Install

Requires the base plugin UnrealMCP. After installing, reopen the editor so the new tool family appears in the agent's list.

```bash
unreal-mcp-cli install-extension com.ivanmurzak.unreal-ai-control-rig <UEProject>
```

## When to ask the AI for it

Ask when you want the AI to survey the Control Rig assets in a project or report a rig’s controls, bones, and hierarchy before you author animation.

Not sure if it's installed? Ask the agent "Do you have ControlRig tools available?" — the control-rig- tools only exist when the package is present.

## Example prompts

1. List every Control Rig blueprint in the project and show me the controls of CR_Mannequin.
2. What Control Rig is bound to the Hero actor, and how many bones does it have?
