Environment variables
| Name | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
UNIFI_API_KEYSecret | Required | UniFi Site Manager API key with Network scope (unifi.ui.com, Settings > API). It controls your whole network: treat it like an admin password. |
UNIFI_CONFIRM_WRITES | Optional | Write confirmation: destructive tools return a preview and run only when called again with confirm "YES". Only false, 0, no or off turn it off. |
UNIFI_API_BASE | Optional | API base URL; this host receives the API key. https origin only (http only for loopback test stubs). Keep the default. |
UNIFI_TIMEOUT_MS | Optional | Per-request timeout in milliseconds, covering response headers and body. |
UNIFI_LOG_LEVEL | Optional | Log level on stderr: debug, info, warn or error. |
UNIFI_CONSOLE_ID | Optional | Pins the UniFi console instead of discovering it (needed when the account has several consoles). |
UNIFI_NETWORK_SITE_ID | Optional | Pins the Network site instead of discovering it. |
UNIFI_SITE_MANAGER_SITE_ID | Optional | Pins the Site Manager site instead of discovering it. |
UNIFI_READ_ONLY | Optional | Read-only mode: every write tool returns an error and sends no request; reads still work. Off by default. |
UNIFI_REDACT_SECRETS | Optional | Masks passwords, WiFi passphrases, pre-shared keys and other secret fields in every tool result with (redacted); write tools refuse a body that contains that placeholder. Off by default. |
UNIFI_MAX_RESULT_BYTES | Optional | Cuts tool results longer than this many bytes and marks them as truncated. Unset or empty: 100000. 0, off or none: no cap. |
