PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: UNIFI_API_KEY, UNIFI_GATEWAY_HOST

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE, UNIFI_API_KEY, UNIFI_BASE_PATH, UNIFI_BASE_URL, UNIFI_GATEWAY_HOST

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE env
    Binds this MCP server to one tenant-gated client profile, so every call answers for that customer. Leave blank to use the profile configured as default_client_profile.
  • UNIFI_API_KEY secret required env
    Set the UNIFI_API_KEY credential for the UniFi MCP server.
  • UNIFI_BASE_PATH env
    Path segment appended to the gateway host, when your controller does not serve the Network API at the standard location. Leave blank for a stock UniFi OS gateway.
  • UNIFI_BASE_URL env
    Full API base URL, e.g. https://10.0.0.1/proxy/network. Leave blank when you set the gateway host above; the CLI builds this from it.
  • UNIFI_GATEWAY_HOST secret required env
    Set the UNIFI_GATEWAY_HOST credential for the UniFi MCP server.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is UniFi MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: UNIFI_API_KEY, UNIFI_GATEWAY_HOST

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.9) reached the registry 15 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

UniFi + AI - for Claude, the ChatGPT desktop app, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and any agent that speaks MCP

Unofficial. Community-built Claude Code Skill and MCP server for the UniFi

API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Ubiquiti Inc.

Full skill page - install, outcomes, safety model.

Every UniFi Network API operation, plus drift detection, topology, and rule prediction no other UniFi tool has. Works with the AI you already use - ChatGPT (desktop app), Claude Desktop, Codex, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and GitHub Copilot - plus Gemini CLI. Free, open source, runs on your laptop. Built for MSP owners. No code required.

Works with your agent

Security note (until this connector is reprinted). Do not run HTTP mode

(--transport http), not even on localhost. This build has no password,

listens on every network interface, and predates the browser-rebinding guard,

so a web page you open can reach it. The MCP tools can also make changes with

your credentials. Use the default stdio transport. If you set up a tunnel for

a remote agent, shut it down. A fix is on the way.

The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):

Your AI agentHow to install the UniFi skill
Claude DesktopRun installer, then Settings > Extensions to register unifi-network-mcp (no JSON editing).
ChatGPT (desktop app)Run installer, then add unifi-network-mcp in Settings > MCP servers as a local (STDIO) server. ChatGPT on the web is not supported yet.
Codex CLIPaste the install prompt below.
Claude CodePaste the install prompt below.
Claude CoworkPaste the install prompt below.
GitHub Copilot (VS Code)Run installer, add unifi-network-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode.

The ChatGPT desktop app runs unifi-network-mcp locally and shares MCP configuration with Codex (OpenAI). ChatGPT on the web needs a remote (HTTP) server, and this connector's HTTP mode is paused until it is reprinted (see the security note in mcp-install.md), so msp-skills does not support it yet. If your team works there, a hosted gateway is the better pick; check that your AI app is on the gateway's setup list.

Also for the Microsoft and Google stacks

Big install base, but an honest heads-up: Gemini CLI runs the local binary you just installed, while Microsoft 365 Copilot and the Gemini app need a remote server, which msp-skills does not support yet.

AgentWhat it takes
Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot StudioNot supported by msp-skills yet: it needs a remote server. A hosted gateway is the better pick; check that your AI app is on the gateway's setup list.
Google GeminiGemini CLI is local - same as Claude Code. See mcp-install.md. The Gemini app needs a remote server and is not supported by msp-skills yet.

Skill-native agents (also covered): Hermes and OpenClaw read this skill's SKILL.md directly *and* speak MCP - see their install sections below. Also works with Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue.dev, and Zed via MCP. Full per-tool wire-up: [docs/which-agent.md](../../docs/which-agent.md).

Run more than one agent? Install across all 51+ supported agents in one command: npx skills add Servosity/msp-skills@latest (requires Node.js, then run the per-skill installer for the CLI/MCP binaries). See docs/which-agent.md.

Install in 60 seconds

Fastest for Claude Desktop - one-click .mcpb

Claude Desktop bundle: the .mcpb launches on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows x64 and Linux x64. Every tool shells out to the companion unifi-network-cli. Releases cut from 2026-09-18 on ship that CLI inside the bundle; older bundles contain only the MCP server, so if yours lacks the companion, run the Path A or Path B installer below first (or set UNIFI_CLI_PATH to an existing binary). Details: #331.

Download UniFi MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every UniFi release on the releases page.)

Prefer the Claude Code plugin? Add the marketplace once, then install - works immediately, no directory listing required:

/plugin marketplace add Servosity/msp-skills

/plugin install unifi-network@msp-skills

Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)

Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:

Install the UniFi Skill and MCP server from Servosity/msp-skills in this agent workspace. If this workspace uses a POSIX shell (macOS, Linux, WSL, or Bash), run bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/unifi-network/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, run iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/unifi-network/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and run unifi-network-cli --help to explore.

The same prompt works in any agent that can run shell.

Path B - run the installer yourself

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/unifi-network/install.ps1 | iex

macOS / Linux:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/unifi-network/install.sh)

The installer drops both unifi-network-cli (the CLI) and unifi-network-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.

Verify:

unifi-network-cli --version
Upgrade to the latest version

The installer always fetches the current release - re-run it to upgrade:

macOS / Linux:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/unifi-network/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/unifi-network/install.ps1 | iex

Claude Desktop .mcpb users: download the latest .mcpb (top of this section) and re-select it in Settings > Extensions. Claude Code plugin users: /plugin update unifi-network@msp-skills.

Add to Claude Desktop, the ChatGPT desktop app, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or another MCP client

After the installer runs, see [mcp-install.md](./mcp-install.md) and [docs/which-agent.md](../../docs/which-agent.md) for the per-agent wire-up - one section per agent, including the GitHub Copilot servers key and the ChatGPT desktop app. Claude Desktop's Settings > Extensions panel is the simplest path; the MCP config block (for users who prefer editing JSON) is documented in mcp-install.md.

Install for Hermes

From the Hermes CLI:

hermes skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/unifi-network --force

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/unifi-network --force

Hermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the unifi-network-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.

Install for OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):

Install the unifi-network skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/unifi-network. The skill defines how its required CLI (unifi-network-cli) can be installed via the openclaw: frontmatter block.

OpenClaw isn't generally available yet; the frontmatter wiring is pre-shipped and will activate the moment OpenClaw launches.

Authenticate

Set the credentials the CLI needs (from your UniFi portal):

UNIFI_API_KEY=<value> UNIFI_GATEWAY_HOST=<value> unifi-network-cli doctor

doctor checks config, paths, and gateway reachability, then verifies the key itself with one authenticated read: it reports valid, rejected (HTTP 401), scope-limited (HTTP 403), or not verified when the probe never reached an endpoint that could check it. It exits 0 even when the credential is rejected, so scripts should add --fail-on error.

What this skill does

Question your MSP keeps askingCommand
What changed in this site's config since my last check?unifi-network-cli drift --site default --json
What devices and clients joined the network this week?unifi-network-cli newcomer --since 7d --json
Do I have switch port and PoE headroom before adding hardware?unifi-network-cli port-audit --site default
Which firewall policy would match traffic from this host?unifi-network-cli rule-predict --src 10.0.3.50 --dst 10.0.0.1
Which clients are sitting behind which device?unifi-network-cli topology --site default
What firewall policies are configured on this site?unifi-network-cli sites firewall get-policies --all
Who is on the guest network, and which vouchers are live?unifi-network-cli guest report --site default
List every adopted device on the siteunifi-network-cli sites devices get-adopted-overview-page --all

Run unifi-network-cli sync first - drift, newcomer, topology, guest report, and rule-predict all compute from the local mirror, and port-audit needs the synced device list before it can fetch port detail. On paginated reads pass --all: they default to --limit 25 (vouchers 100) and emit no truncation warning. This affects countries, pending-devices, and dpi ... too, not just the sites ... subtree.

The full surface is 137 commands; almost all of it lives under sites .... Enumerate it with unifi-network-cli sites --help for the 14 resource groups, then unifi-network-cli sites --help for each group's commands. guide.md covers install, auth, and the headline commands. For the AI-agent operating contract (--agent, --dry-run, when to confirm before mutating), see AGENTS.md.

What makes this different

Most UniFi integrations and MCP servers proxy each question into a live API call. That's fine for one record. It has nothing to say the moment you ask anything historical - "what changed on this site since Friday?", "is that access point new?" - because the UniFi Network integration API exposes no config-versioning and no audit-trail endpoint. There is no history to proxy to.

This skill syncs UniFi into a local SQLite mirror with full-text search, and keeps its own snapshots on top of it. That is what makes the historical questions answerable at all: drift diffs the site's networks, firewall, WiFi, and DNS config against the state it captured on its last run, and newcomer holds a first-seen record per device and client so new hardware surfaces against a real baseline. topology and guest report bring together data t
