| splines-insert-knot | Insert a knot at a specific index in a spline, shifting later knots forward. Use this to add a control point in the middle of an existing path. |

Splines / Insert Knot
Insert a new knot at a given index in a spline. Knots at and after the index shift forward by one.
Inputs
gameObjectRef— the GameObject hosting theSplineContainer(required).knotIndex— the index to insert at (0..knotCount; required).position— local-spaceVector3position of the knot (default zero).tangentIn/tangentOut— optional tangents (defaults(0,0,-1)/(0,0,1)).rotation— optional euler-degrees rotation (default zero).splineIndex— which spline in the container (default 0).
Behavior
Validates the index range (0..count inclusive), builds a BezierKnot, inserts it, marks dirty, repaints, and returns the inserted knot index and the spline's new knot count. Runs on the Unity main thread.
How to Call
unity-mcp-cli run-tool splines-insert-knot --input '{
"gameObjectRef": "string_value",
"knotIndex": 0,
"position": "string_value",
"tangentIn": "string_value",
"tangentOut": "string_value",
"rotation": "string_value",
"splineIndex": 0
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool splines-insert-knot --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool splines-insert-knot --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.
