UniFi Gateway MCP Server | MCPpedia

Environment

Name	Required	Notes
STUB_MODE	No	When true, the server returns realistic mock data and requires no UniFi hardware. Defaults to true so the image is functional out of the box.
UNIFI_HOST	No	IP address or hostname of the UniFi OS gateway (UCG-Fiber, UDM Pro, etc). Required when STUB_MODE=false and MCP_UNIFI_CONTROLLERS_FILE is unset.
UNIFI_API_KEY	No	Local API key generated under Settings -> Control Plane -> Integrations on the gateway. Required when STUB_MODE=false and MCP_UNIFI_CONTROLLERS_FILE is unset. Secret.
UNIFI_SITE	No	UniFi controller site name. Defaults to 'default'.
UNIFI_VERIFY_SSL	No	Whether to verify the gateway's TLS certificate. Defaults to false because most home gateways use a self-signed cert.
MCP_UNIFI_CONTROLLERS_FILE	No	Path to a YAML file describing multiple named controllers for multi-site management. When set, the legacy UNIFI_HOST / UNIFI_API_KEY env vars are ignored. Each entry needs name, host, api_key, and optionally port, site, verify_ssl.
MCP_UNIFI_MODULES_ENABLED	No	Comma-separated list of modules to load. Known values: 'network', 'protect', 'access'. Defaults to 'network'. Set to 'network,protect,access' to enable Protect and Access tools alongside Network. Access currently ships read-only; door unlocks and credential issuance require session-token auth and are deferred.
UNIFI_ACCESS_HOST	No	UniFi Access hub IP or hostname. Required when the access module is enabled and STUB_MODE=false. Often the same host as UNIFI_HOST.
UNIFI_ACCESS_API_KEY	No	UniFi Access API key. Separate from the Network API key; generated on the Access controller's developer settings. Required when the access module is enabled and STUB_MODE=false. Secret.
UNIFI_ACCESS_PORT	No	HTTPS port for the Access hub. Defaults to 12445 (the direct Access app port).
MCP_UNIFI_AUDIT_SINK	No	Audit log sink. One of 'file' (default), 'stdout', or 'syslog'. Every tool call is recorded to a JSONL stream with secrets scrubbed.
MCP_UNIFI_AUDIT_PATH	No	Path for the audit log file when MCP_UNIFI_AUDIT_SINK=file. Defaults to audit.jsonl in the process CWD.
