Put your own values in place of <UNIFI_HOST> (UniFi Controller hostname or IP address), <UNIFI_USERNAME> (UniFi Controller username), <UNIFI_PASSWORD> (UniFi Controller password). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: UNIFI_PORT (UniFi Controller port (default: 443)), UNIFI_VERIFY_SSL (Verify SSL certificate (default: true)), UNIFI_SITE (UniFi site name (default: default)).

Unifi MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Unifi MCP Server?
Unifi MCP Server 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-mcp-server was installed 38 times last week.
How do I connect Unifi MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls unifi-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Unifi MCP Server?
The npm package unifi-mcp-server was installed 38 times in the last week. Week over week that is -22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Unifi MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 333 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
