Unifi

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Any task involving UniFi devices
• Zone-based firewall
• Traffic monitoring
• Port forwarding

Example prompts

• “/unifi”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in UNIFI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0f7ed7c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • pip

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • UNIFI_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Unifi loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~114

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Manage UniFi network infrastructure via the UniFi MCP Server. Use this skill for any task involving UniFi devices, clients, networks, VLANs, WiFi, firewall rules, zone-based firewall, VPNs, traffic monitoring, backups, RADIUS, QoS, DPI, port forwarding, ACLs, DHCP, DNS, or site management. Triggers when the user mentions UniFi, Ubiquiti, network clients, APs, switches, gateways, firewall policies, or traffic flows in a network management context.

# Install
pip install unifi-mcp-server
# or: uvx unifi-mcp-server --help

# Set credentials once
export UNIFI_API_KEY=your-api-key
export UNIFI_API_TYPE=local
export UNIFI_LOCAL_HOST=192.168.2.1

# Run any tool directly
unifi-cli list-clients --site default
unifi-cli get-device-details --site default --device-id <id>

unifi-mcp-server --profile network    # clients, VLANs, WiFi, DHCP, DNS
unifi-mcp-server --profile devices    # device management and control
unifi-mcp-server --profile security   # firewall, VPN, ACLs, content filtering
unifi-mcp-server --profile system     # backups, QoS, traffic flows, sites

# Check what clients are online on the main site
List all active clients on site "default"

# Investigate a device
Get details for the device with MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

# Firewall audit
List all firewall policies in zone-based firewall

# Bandwidth troubleshooting
Show top traffic flows for the last hour

# Backup before a change
Trigger a backup on site "default", then update the guest SSID password
