1. Generate the client config

In the editor console: ModelContextProtocol.GenerateClientConfig ClaudeCode — also accepts Cursor, VSCode, Gemini, Codex, or All. For Claude Code it writes .mcp.json into the project root; open your agent in that project and the editor server is available.

2. Verify

Ask your agent to call the `list_toolsets` meta-tool. You should see three Crimson entries; then prove the loop with a real call — ReadFile on Config/DefaultEngine.ini is a safe first request.

The three toolsets

ToolsetTools
CrimsonSourceToolsetReadFile, ListFiles
CrimsonPluginToolsetListPlugins, ValidateDependencies, ScaffoldPlugin
CrimsonAssetToolsetFindAssets, InspectAsset, CreateAsset, SetAssetProperty, FindTags
Names come from reflection
Toolset and tool names derive from class and function names — confirm the live set with list_toolsets / describe_toolset rather than assuming. ValidateDependencies audits Build.cs files against the suite's no-cross-dependency rule.
