What the publisher says

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

UniFi MCP

Leverage agents and agentic AI workflows to manage your UniFi deployment.

Servers

Choose an integration

An MCP adapter can expose a small set of tools while using unifi-api-server as its backend. This keeps application-specific joins, branching, loops, and code isolation out of the general-purpose MCP servers.

Cloud Relay

Cloud Relay pairs the Cloudflare-hosted Worker gateway with the Relay sidecar on your LAN. The Worker provides the authenticated edge MCP endpoint, Durable Object broker, multi-location routing, token boundary, and deployment/management CLI. The Relay sidecar is a local MCP HTTP client and forwarder: it discovers configured local MCP servers over HTTP and maintains an outbound WebSocket to the Worker. Remote requests follow MCP client → Worker gateway → outbound WebSocket → Relay sidecar → local MCP servers over HTTP; the API server is not in this path. Read-only tools support annotation-based multi-location fan-out, while writes require explicit location targeting. Deploy the Worker with npm install -g unifi-mcp-worker && unifi-mcp-worker install, then see the Relay sidecar README to connect local servers.
