cinemachine-brain-ensure	Ensure a `CinemachineBrain` exists on a `Camera`. Targets the referenced Camera GameObject, or `Camera.main` when none is given. Returns the brain + camera info. A CinemachineBrain is required for any CinemachineCamera to actually drive the rendering Camera.	generated-by mcp-plugin-dotnet

Cinemachine / Ensure Brain

Ensure a CinemachineBrain component exists on a Camera. A CinemachineBrain is the bridge between Cinemachine virtual cameras and a real Unity Camera; without it, CinemachineCamera components have no effect on the rendered view.

Inputs

• cameraRef — optional GameObject hosting a Camera. When omitted, Camera.main (a Camera tagged MainCamera) is used.

Behavior

Resolves the Camera, adds a CinemachineBrain if one is missing (idempotent — an existing brain is reused), marks the scene dirty, repaints the Editor, and returns the brain instanceId plus the camera name. The whole call runs on the Unity main thread.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool cinemachine-brain-ensure --input '{
  "cameraRef": "string_value"
}'

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

unity-mcp-cli run-tool cinemachine-brain-ensure --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool cinemachine-brain-ensure --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.

Input

Name	Type	Required	Description
cameraRef	any	No	Optional reference to the GameObject hosting the Camera. If omitted, Camera.main is used.
