UniFi MCP
Leverage agents and agentic AI workflows to manage your UniFi deployment.
Servers
Cloud Relay
The relay bridges your local MCP servers to a Cloudflare Worker, letting cloud agents access your UniFi tools without exposing local ports. Supports multi-location with annotation-based fan-out for read-only tools. Deploy the worker with npm install -g unifi-mcp-worker && unifi-mcp-worker install, then see the relay README for connecting your local servers.
What is this?
UniFi MCP is a collection of Model Context Protocol servers that let AI assistants and automation tools interact with Ubiquiti UniFi controllers. Each server targets a specific UniFi application (Network, Protect, Access) and exposes its functionality as MCP tools — queryable, composable, and safe by default.
Quick Start
Claude Code (recommended)
Install via the plugin marketplace — includes the MCP server, an agent skill, and guided setup:
/plugin marketplace add sirkirby/unifi-mcp
/plugin install unifi-network@unifi-plugins
/unifi-network:setup
Repeat for Protect or Access if needed:
/plugin install unifi-protect@unifi-plugins
/plugin install unifi-access@unifi-plugins
Each plugin's /setup command walks you through connecting to your controller and configuring permissions.
Other MCP clients
Run the servers directly:
uvx unifi-network-mcp@latest
uvx unifi-protect-mcp@latest
uvx unifi-access-mcp@latest
For Claude Desktop, add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"unifi-network": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["unifi-network-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
// Server-specific vars take priority; UNIFI_* is the fallback
"UNIFI_NETWORK_HOST": "192.168.1.1",
"UNIFI_NETWORK_USERNAME": "admin",
"UNIFI_NETWORK_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
},
"unifi-protect": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["unifi-protect-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"UNIFI_PROTECT_HOST": "192.168.1.1",
"UNIFI_PROTECT_USERNAME": "admin",
"UNIFI_PROTECT_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
},
"unifi-access": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["unifi-access-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"UNIFI_ACCESS_HOST": "192.168.1.1",
"UNIFI_ACCESS_USERNAME": "admin",
"UNIFI_ACCESS_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}
Tip: If all servers connect to the same controller, you can use the shared UNIFI_HOST / UNIFI_USERNAME / UNIFI_PASSWORD variables instead of repeating them per server.
Usage Examples
Once connected, just ask your AI agent in natural language:
Network
"Show me all clients on the Guest VLAN with their signal strength and data usage"
"Create a firewall rule that blocks IoT devices from reaching the internet between midnight and 6 AM"
"Audit my firewall policies — are there any redundant or conflicting rules?"
Protect
"List all cameras that detected motion in the last hour"
"Show me smart detection events from the front door camera today — people and vehicles only"
Access
"Who badged into the office today? Show me a timeline of all door access events"
"Create a visitor pass for John Smith with access to the main entrance tomorrow 9-5"
