unifi-setup-new-device

unifi-setup-new-device is a skill for Claude Code from mikeholownych/unifi-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (677 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting new household gadgets to a UniFi network, including TVs, cameras, consoles, speakers, smart plugs, and thermostats. It explains common WiFi setup terms such as 2.4GHz, WPA3, and device pairing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify a new device, guide its pairing process, check whether it appears on the network, and apply targeted fixes when it remains unavailable.
Why use it?
It helps resolve devices that cannot join WiFi because of band compatibility, newer security settings, or incorrect passwords. It also helps find a device while it is attempting to connect.

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-setup-new-device 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UniFi Setup New Device

Get a new gadget online and properly registered — written for people who have never touched a router settings page.

Why smart gadgets fail (explain these first)

  1. They need 2.4GHz: most smart plugs/cameras only speak the older "2.4GHz" WiFi. Modern routers broadcast both bands under ONE name — usually fine — but during setup the phone doing the pairing must ALSO be on 2.4GHz sometimes.
  2. WPA3 transition hiccups: very old or cheap IoT chips choke on newer security. If a device loops "connecting…" forever, temporary fix options: guest-network trick or (last resort) disabling WPA3 transition briefly via update_wlan(wpa3_transition=false) — remember to restore it after!
  3. Password typos: passwords are case-sensitive; watch for confusables (l/I, O/0).

Workflow

  1. Find out what they're setting up — type matters (smart plug vs TV vs console).
  2. Search for it: list_all_clients — match by maker (oui), recent last_seen, or partial name. Also list_clients for live view.
    • Found → go to 3.
    • Not found → walk them through the device app pairing attempt while you watch list_clients; if still invisible after 2 tries, apply Fix #1/#2 above.
  3. Verify it landed correctly: has an IP, sits on the expected network, decent connection (get_client_details).
  4. Register it properly:
    • Naming has no MCP tool — give exact UniFi-app taps: Clients → [device] → ⋯ → Rename. (Explain WHY: named devices make every future audit/troubleshoot clearer.)
    • If it's something that should always be reachable (NAS, camera hub, printer): offer reserve_client_ip so its address never changes — explain "like a reserved parking spot".
  5. Wrap-up: confirm internet works ON the device (have them test), summarize what was done in one friendly paragraph.

Output style

  • Short numbered steps; one action per step.
  • Every instruction names WHO does it: "You: open the plug's app…" / "Me: checking your network now…"
  • Celebrate completion briefly. No technical recap unless asked.

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.
