unifi-tools: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

unifi-tools CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from brianbell-x/unifi-tools. It costs 396 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A contributor guide for UniFi management tools, a Python package and MCP server for controlling UniFi networks. It describes API tools, optional gateway SSH access, the command-line interface, and the bundled agent skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing UniFi API tools, CLI commands, SSH features, agent skills, or the tests that verify their behaviour.
Why use it?
It explains where the package’s components live and how command-line commands and MCP tools must stay in sync. It also highlights testing and safety rules for management operations.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code.

This is brianbell-x/unifi-tools's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on unifi-tools itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything unifi-tools configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

unifi-tools CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

UniFi Management Tools for AI Agents

One Python package (unifi-tools) exposing the official UniFi Network Integration API and an optional gateway-SSH escape hatch as both a CLI (unifi ...) and an MCP server (unifi mcp). Not an agent — tool extensions for agents.

Layout

  • src/unifi_tools/core.py — config (env > unifi init file), FastMCP instance, tool registry, API client
  • src/unifi_tools/api.py — 73 tools, complete documented surface of the Network API v10.3.58
  • src/unifi_tools/ssh.py — ssh exec / mongo read|write / provision, enabled only when UNIFI_SSH_KEY/UNIFI_SSH_PASSWORD is set
  • src/unifi_tools/cli.py — generic dispatcher: unifi_list_devices ⇄ unifi list devices; destructive commands need --yes
  • skills/unifi/ — the agent skill (read skills/unifi/SKILL.md before using the tools)
  • .claude-plugin/ — this repo is its own Claude Code plugin marketplace (plugin ships the skill)

Rules

  • Every tool registers as both CLI command and MCP tool via @tool() in core.py; uv run pytest asserts parity — run it after any tool change.
  • API ground truth is developer.ui.com (currently v10.3.58), not this codebase. Verify against docs before changing payloads.
  • SSH/MongoDB is only for what the API doesn't expose (radio config, port profiles, settings). After DB writes, force-provision (unifi provision <macs>).
  • Local dev MCP config lives in untracked .mcp.json; credentials in untracked .env / the unifi init config file.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
