What the publisher says

From the Unifi repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

UniFi MCP Server

mcp-name: io.github.mikeholownych/unifi-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI assistants like Claude with access to UniFi Network and Protect infrastructure management and analysis capabilities. It uses the native MCP SDK 2 MCPServer API (not FastMCP 3) and communicates over stdio by default.

Credits: This project started as a fork of gbassaragh/Unifi-mcp and has since evolved into a fully independent project. Thanks to @gbassaragh for the excellent starting point.

Improvements Over Upstream

  • Fixed local session authentication routing — in UNIFI_MODE=local, requests now correctly use the traditional controller API (/proxy/network) with cookie + CSRF session auth. Upstream always routed through the Integration API regardless of mode.
  • Mode-aware base URL resolution — apibaseurl now respects the configured auth mode instead of unconditionally returning the Integration API endpoint.
  • Expanded test suite — 250+ passing tests covering configuration, MCP compatibility, runtime persistence, network client behavior, server tool registration, and Protect integrations.

Features

UniFi Network

  • Device Management: List, restart, locate, and upgrade UniFi devices (APs, switches, routers)
  • Client Management: Monitor connected clients, block/unblock, view traffic statistics
  • Site Management: View site health, network configurations, VLANs, and wireless settings
  • Statistics & Monitoring: Events, alarms, speed tests, and DPI statistics
  • AI-Powered Insights: Network analysis, optimization recommendations, and troubleshooting

UniFi Protect

  • Camera Management: List cameras, view status, get live snapshots
  • System Monitoring: NVR status, camera health summaries
  • Accessories: Manage lights, sensors, chimes, and viewers
  • Liveviews: Access configured camera view layouts

Multi-Device Support

  • Configure multiple UniFi devices (gateways, NVRs, etc.)
  • Target specific devices by name — all network and Protect tools accept an optional device parameter
  • Per-device API keys: each configured device authenticates with its own key
  • Mix of Network and Protect services across devices

Events and Safe Automation

  • Normalize and durably deduplicate Network and Protect events in optional SQLite storage
  • Poll each configured source independently and report unsupported capabilities explicitly
  • Run only built-in interval jobs: pollevents, retrywebhookdeliveries, captureobservations, and pruneruntimedata
  • Deliver filtered, signed HTTPS webhooks with bounded retries and dead-letter state
  • Keep persistence, background automation, and private webhook destinations disabled by default

Authentication Modes

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
