unifi-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

unifi-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from enuno/unifi-mcp-server. It costs 2,139 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for a UniFi MCP Server, an application that exposes the UniFi Network Controller API so AI agents can manage network data through a standard tool interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help navigate the Python server, API client, data models, tools, tests, and feature workflow, including the test-first approach called test-driven development.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project structure, required documents, development process, and testing context before changes are made.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is enuno/unifi-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on unifi-mcp-server 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-mcp-server 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-mcp-server 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 4d 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.

UniFi MCP Server - Claude Instructions

Project-specific instructions for AI coding assistants working on the UniFi MCP Server. AGENTS.md has the full rules for all agents; this file is the short version plus what Claude needs to start.

Project Overview

The UniFi MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the UniFi Network, Protect and Site Manager APIs as MCP tools, so AI agents can read and change UniFi infrastructure through one standard interface.

  • Version: v0.6.1 (pyproject.toml; see DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md §5 for release-versioning notes)
  • Python: 3.10+
  • Framework: FastMCP, with httpx for HTTP and Pydantic v2 for models
  • Size: 343 tools in local mode and 71 in cloud mode, from 60 tool modules in src/tools/. Over 3,500 unit tests; the CI coverage gate is 80% (pyproject.toml), and total coverage is about 94%.

Before Starting Work

  1. Read the documentation that applies to the task:
    • README.md - features and configuration
    • AGENTS.md - rules for all AI agents
    • API.md - reference for every MCP tool
    • DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md and TODO.md - roadmap and live status
    • docs/UNIFI_API.md - UniFi API notes, including endpoints that do not exist on some firmware
  2. Load the skill for the tool set you will change (see Skills).
  3. Work on a feature branch. Never commit to main.

Architecture

Path What it holds
src/main.py Server entry point. Builds the tool module lists per API mode and profile, and registers them
src/tool_registry.py Wraps every tool: routing, risk tier, read-only and dry-run modes, audit, cache
src/config/config.py Settings (all environment variables) and the URL path helpers
src/api/ UniFiClient (Network), ProtectClient, SiteManagerClient, the connection pool and the rate limiter
src/tools/ One module per feature area. Every public async function is a tool
src/models/ Pydantic models
src/resources/ MCP resources
src/fleet/, src/worker/ Multi-controller fleet: registry, router, tokens, fleet_* tools, background workers
src/a2a/ A2A agent card and endpoints
src/utils/ Validators, exceptions, the hash-chained audit log, metrics
tests/unit/ Unit tests (tests/unit/tools/ for tool modules)

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.
