# Aura Autopilot (slim)

> Aura Autopilot is Ramen's Apache-2.0 game playtester for Unreal Engine 5, Unity 6 and Godot 4. An editor plugin and local agent service play the game, and Claude Code or Codex drive it through a stdio MCP server.

Assessment: Apache-2.0, with typed MCP tools carrying read-only hints, a separate process for model-written code and headless exit codes for CI. It is days old with no changelog, needs a TypeSafe Jev key or an Aura account, and by default shares recordings, agent traces and the user's own agent conversation with Ramen unless turned off.

## Facts

- Kind: MCP server · vendor: Ramen · category: Desktop & mobile app control · legal entity: TribeVR Inc. (named in Aura's terms of service and privacy policy), trading as Ramen · provenance 52/100
- Local only (stdio)
- Auth: API key · pricing: Your plan · x402: no · licence: Apache-2.0
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface listed: The ramenvr/autopilot repository at main (Python agent service 0.1.0; Unreal, Unity and Godot plugins; the Claude Code plugin) read from raw.githubusercontent.com, with the docs, download page and launch post on tryaura.dev, on 1 November 2026. Nothing was installed or run
- How an agent reaches it: `autopilot mcp`, a stdio MCP server that forwards each call to the agent service the editor plugin started. The game must be open in the editor with the Autopilot tab connected. Headless runs start from the engine's command line with -Playtest=explore, verify or goal
- MCP tools: start_run, wait, probe, run_harness, snapshot, describe_frames, restart_level, report and frames, plus read_file, list_files, search, write_file and edit_file held to the game's folder. Writes only to the run's folder, notes.md and lib.py
- How it plays: A coding agent (OpenCode by default, Claude Code or Codex) reads the game's code and writes a Python harness; TypeSafe's Jev decision model picks actions in real time, and the plugin injects real input events. What it learns is kept per project as memory files
- Engines and platforms: Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.8, Unity 6 (6000.0 or later) and Godot 4.7 or later, on Windows and macOS. Building from source is supported for Unreal only, on Windows
- Data sharing: On by default. Recordings, screenshots, agent traces and memories, and for MCP runs the user's agent conversation, go to app.tryaura.dev after redaction. The codebase export is never sent. Off from the Settings page, AUTOPILOT_SHARE=0 or -PlaytestShare=0; sent data is never deleted
- Headless exit codes: 0 confirmed, achieved or explored; 2 denied; 3 inconclusive; 1 not achieved or an error. result.json holds the verdict, evidence and findings
- Company: Ramen (ramenvr.com), makers of Aura; Aura's terms and privacy policy name TribeVR Inc. Y Combinator Summer 2019, led by CEO Andy Tsen
- Category: Listed in desktop-automation, the closest category, because it plays a game through injected input events. No category covers game testing
- Prices: Aura Indie, billed monthly $20 per month (plan); Aura Pro $40 per month (plan); Aura Ultimate $200 per month (plan)

## Before you call it

1. Check the game's project is open in the editor with the Autopilot tab connected before calling start_run; otherwise it answers that the agent service isn't running.
2. When a call answers "still going", call `wait` until it returns; don't start another tool call meanwhile.
3. Pass the user's request in their own words with kind verify, goal or explore, and read the INSTRUCTIONS.md that start_run names in parts with Autopilot's read_file.
4. Tell the user that run data is shared by default and how to turn it off (the Settings page, AUTOPILOT_SHARE=0 or -PlaytestShare=0) before the first run.
5. Never ask the user to paste a TypeSafe or provider key into the conversation; keys belong in autopilot.env or the Autopilot tab.

## Connect

```bash
# Download the plugin for your engine and OS from https://www.tryaura.dev/autopilot/ and finish the first-run setup in the editor's Autopilot tab
autopilot connect claude
autopilot connect codex
```

```bash
claude plugin install autopilot --marketplace ramenvr/autopilot
```
