AI & Needle Engine

Use AI to ask questions, write code, and interact with live 3D scenes — all with Needle Engine knowledge built in.

Needle Engine integrates with popular AI tools so you can get help, write components, and inspect live scenes — all without leaving your workflow.

---

Ask questions

Needle Forum AI — Ask publicly. Searches all Needle docs, forum posts, and community content. Answers are visible to the community.

Needle Cloud AI — Ask privately. Same knowledge base, private to your team.

---

Code with AI

Install the Needle Engine skill to give your AI coding assistant built-in knowledge of Needle Engine — components, lifecycle, serialization, physics, networking, WebXR, and more.

Tool	How to install
Claude Code	/plugin install needle-engine
Other tools	See github.com/needle-tools/ai

The skill is open source. Contributions for additional tools (Codex, Copilot, etc.) are welcome.

Connect AI to your live scenes

The Needle MCP Server lets AI tools talk directly to your running 3D projects via the Needle Inspector. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and more.

What it can do:

• Search all Needle documentation with semantic search

• Inspect scene hierarchies, materials, and properties in real time

• Edit objects and settings through natural language

• Debug and optimize live scenes

Use Needle docs with any AI

Every documentation page is available as plain markdown — just change .html to .md in the URL.

For local models (Ollama, etc.) or tools that accept a context file:

• llms.txt — compact, essential docs

• llms-full.txt — complete documentation
