Install UniFi RMCP in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y unifi-rmcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the UniFi RMCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
unifi-rmcp
UniFi Network client, device, WLAN, firewall, and health operations over MCP and CLI.
It exposes one MCP tool, unifi, plus the runifi CLI. Agents can inspect clients, devices, WiFi networks, health, alarms, events, controller sysinfo, and authenticated identity, and can use generated official / unifi actions when their MCP auth scope permits it.
30-second path: set UNIFIURL and UNIFIAPIKEY, then run npx -y @dinglebear/runifi health --json -> start loopback HTTP with UNIFIMCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 npx -y @dinglebear/runifi serve -> call tools/call with {"action":"health"}.
Status: operational RMCP upstream-client server. The preserved convenience actions are read-oriented; generated mutating actions require unifi:admin authorization. HTTP MCP supports loopback dev mode, static bearer tokens, and Google OAuth through lab-auth.
Not for: replacing the UniFi console, storing controller credentials for callers, bypassing UniFi permissions, generic HTTP proxying, multi-tenant isolation, or passing UniFi API keys through MCP tool arguments.

Naming
The repo and npm package use the RMCP family name, while the shipped binary uses the short Rust CLI name runifi.
Capabilities And Boundaries
site health, active alarms, recent events, controller sysinfo, and current authenticated user.
- Read connected wireless and wired clients, network devices, WLAN configs,
endpoints.
- Dispatch generated official_* actions for documented Network Integration API
such as listclients, listdevices, listnetworks, listwifi, and getsysteminfo.
- Dispatch model-backed unifi_* internal controller actions and hybrid aliases
in mounted HTTP MCP mode.
- Enforce unifi:read for read actions and unifi:admin for mutating actions
checks.
- Provide setup, doctor, and endpoint-verification commands for local runtime
