What the code does

We read the source, 7 d ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Touches key and credential files .github/actions/setup-rust-kache/action.yml:140
        credentials_file="$HOME/.aws/credentials"

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check UniFi RMCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add unifi-rmcp -- npx -y unifi-rmcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unifi-rmcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "unifi-rmcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.unifi-rmcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "unifi-rmcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unifi-rmcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "unifi-rmcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unifi-rmcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "unifi-rmcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: UNIFI_URL (UniFi Network controller base URL.), UNIFI_API_KEY (UniFi API key.), UNIFI_RMCP_VERSION (Optional GitHub release tag override for the downloaded UniFi RMCP binary.), UNIFI_RMCP_REPO (Optional GitHub owner/repo override for release asset downloads.), UNIFI_RMCP_RELEASE_BASE_URL (Optional release download base URL override.), RUST_LOG (Tracing filter for UniFi RMCP logs.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

UniFi RMCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for UniFi RMCP?
UniFi RMCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package unifi-rmcp.
How do I connect UniFi RMCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls unifi-rmcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is UniFi RMCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Rust and 4 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
