Hi,

I’m requesting Python Editor Scripting access for UEFN so I can use the official MCP workflow.

Environment:

- UEFN: 6.0.0
- Fortnite Release: 42.10
- Windows 11

Current behavior:

- PythonScriptPlugin mounts successfully
- ModelContextProtocol plugin also mounts successfully
- MCP toolsets are discovered in the log
- However, Python itself is disabled

Relevant log line:

LogPython: Python disabled via CVar ‘Engine.Python.IsEnabledByDefault’

I also do not have the expected Python / Beta Access controls available in the editor.

Current missing / unavailable items:

- Project Settings entry for Python Editor Scripting
- UEFN MCP Toolsets enable option
- Beta Access section
- Tools \> Execute Python Script
- MCP server does not start on 127.0.0.1:8000

The Model Context Protocol settings page is visible under:  
Editor Preferences \> Plugins \> Model Context Protocol

and shows:

- Server URL Path: /mcp
- Server Port Number: 8000
- Enable Tool Search: enabled

but there is no Auto Start Server option, and the port remains closed.

PowerShell result:

Test-NetConnection 127.0.0.1 -Port 8000  
TcpTestSucceeded : False

My use case is editor-side automation through the official UEFN MCP integration with AI coding agents, while gameplay logic remains in Verse.

Could you please confirm whether Python Editor Scripting is still allow-listed / account-gated, and if so, grant access to my account?

Thank you.
