Cli Anything Unrealinsights

If you're wrestling with Unreal Engine profiling from the command line, this wraps UnrealInsights.exe so Claude can capture traces, export timing and counter data to CSV, and keep the GUI open when you need eyes on it. It handles the full workflow: discovering Trace Store files, launching captures with custom channels and bookmarks, snapshotting live sessions, and running batch exports with region filters. The summary analyzer pulls out top timers, thread hotspots, and counter peaks without you writing jq pipelines. Built for Windows and tested on UE 5.5, though it tries to handle 5.3 command quirks. The continuous capture commands let Claude start profiling in one turn and stop or snapshot later, which beats trying to coordinate everything in a single blocking call.

cli-anything-unrealinsights

Use this CLI when you need agent-friendly access to Unreal Insights trace capture and exporter workflows on Windows.

Prerequisites

  • Windows
  • Unreal Engine tools installed with UnrealInsights.exe
  • Verified with UE 5.5; headless timing exporters include compatibility handling for UE 5.3-style command parsing where possible
  • Optional explicit env vars:
    • UNREALINSIGHTS_EXE
    • UNREAL_TRACE_SERVER_EXE
    • UNREALINSIGHTS_TRACE

Core Commands

Backend discovery

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json backend info

To use a source-built engine's matching UnrealInsights.exe:

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json backend ensure-insights `
  --engine-root 'D:\code\D5\d5render-ue5_3'

This first looks for Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealInsights.exe under the specified engine root, then builds it with that engine's Build.bat if needed.

Trace session state

cli-anything-unrealinsights trace set D:\captures\session.utrace
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json trace info

Trace Store discovery
