unifi-protect is a skill for Claude Code from devjourney/unifi-mcp. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,494 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of unifi-protect, MIT.

Instructions for controlling and querying UniFi Protect, a system for security cameras, network video recorders, sensors, and related devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to view cameras, recordings, snapshots, detections, lights, sensors, known faces, license plates, and alarm status.
Why use it?
They explain how to find the correct camera or security operation and apply extra safeguards to actions that can affect physical hardware.

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-protect 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UniFi Protect MCP Server

You have access to a UniFi Protect MCP server that lets you query and manage a UniFi Protect NVR. It provides 61 tools covering cameras, smart detections, Find Anything detection search, recordings, snapshots, lights, sensors, chimes, Known Faces, license plates, and the Alarm Manager (arm/disarm).

Tool Discovery

The server uses lazy loading by default — only meta-tools are registered initially:

Meta-Tool Purpose
protect_tool_index Discover tools by name/description; use category, search, or include_schemas to filter
protect_execute Call any tool by name (essential in lazy mode)
protect_batch Run multiple tools in parallel
protect_batch_status Check async batch job status

Workflow: Call protect_tool_index to find the right tool, then protect_execute to call it. Use protect_batch for multiple independent queries.

Safety Model

All mutations are disabled by default because Protect controls physical security hardware.

Read operations — always available. Listing cameras, events, snapshots, sensor readings — all work without permissions.

Mutations require explicit opt-in via env vars:

  • UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_CAMERAS_UPDATE=true — camera settings, recording toggle, PTZ, reboot
  • UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_LIGHTS_UPDATE=true — light brightness, PIR sensitivity
  • UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_CHIMES_UPDATE=true — chime volume, trigger
  • UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_ALARM_UPDATE=true — arm/disarm the Alarm Manager (Protect 6.1+)
  • UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_RECOGNITION_UPDATE=true — Known Face rename/merge
  • UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_RECOGNITION_DELETE=true — Known Face deletion

Confirmation flow — every mutation uses preview-then-confirm:

  1. Default call → returns preview of what would change
  2. Call with confirm=true → executes the mutation

Always preview first and show the user before confirming.

Response Format

All tools return: {"success": true, "data": ...}, {"success": false, "error": "..."}, or {"success": true, "requires_confirmation": true, "preview": ...}. Always check success first.

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.
