FAQ

Does Direktor come with a free AI or LLM?

No. Direktor is not an AI itself, and it doesn’t include or provide free access to any AI or LLM model. It’s an Unreal Engine plugin that bridges the editor to the AI client of your choice — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and many more.

You bring your own AI client. Free tiers of some clients work for many tasks; heavier automated use follows your AI provider’s own pricing. Direktor itself is a one-time purchase.

Can the AI break my project?

run_python is disabled by default. When you opt in, the AI executes Python in your editor’s process, so anything you can do in Python it can do too — keep your project under version control. Console commands are enabled by default, but Unreal blocks the destructive ones in the editor context. Most other tool calls are recorded as a single undo step you can revert.

Does it work offline?

Direktor runs entirely in-process and never makes outbound calls. Your AI client may need internet access, but that’s between you and your AI provider.

Will it slow down my editor?

No. Direktor is idle when no client is connected. Tool calls run on the game thread one at a time, and the reflection catalog builds once at startup (cached after the first run) with a small memory footprint.

Does it support multiplayer or runtime?

No. Direktor is editor-only. It does not run in a shipped or packaged game.

Which engine versions are supported?

Unreal Engine 5.0 through 5.8. Some advanced tools are version-gated (Niagara and Behavior Tree authoring need 5.3+, geometry and PCG need 5.4+) and return a guided message on older versions.

Do I need a C++ project?

No. The copy you install from Fab is precompiled per engine version, so Direktor works in any project, including Blueprint-only ones.

Which AI clients work?

Any MCP-compatible client. The bridge (unreal-direktor-mcp) works everywhere; clients that speak Streamable HTTP directly can connect to http://127.0.0.1:13579/mcp without it. See Quick Setup for per-client configuration.
