Why use it?
It helps avoid guessing the controller address, login details, API key, and required permissions.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-access-setup 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 5d 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 — 367 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set Up UniFi Access MCP Server

Walk the user through configuring their UniFi Access controller connection. Ask one question at a time and wait for the answer before continuing.

Interaction Rules

Use the client target that matches the current agent runtime:

  • Claude Code: claude
  • Codex: codex
  • OpenClaw: openclaw

If the runtime is unclear, ask which client to configure. For questions, use the platform's blocking question tool when available (AskUserQuestion in Claude Code, request_user_input in Codex). If no blocking question tool is available, ask in chat with numbered options and wait for the user's reply.

This skill may come from a complete UniFi plugin or a standalone npx skills install. Before using a helper script, verify that the plugin's scripts/ directory exists. If it does not, do not guess a relative path: follow the canonical agent installation guide for the client's native MCP registration path. That guide covers OpenCode, Antigravity, Devin Desktop, Cursor, and other manual clients. A standalone skill install does not install or register the MCP server by itself.

On macOS and Linux, resolve setup scripts relative to this skill file:

  • ../../scripts/check-prereqs.sh
  • ../../scripts/set-env.sh

When the host exposes a plugin-root variable such as CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, using $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/... is also valid. Do not assume the current shell directory is the plugin root.

On Windows, use ../../scripts/set-env.ps1 -Target <claude|codex|openclaw> for every target. Use the matching PowerShell prerequisite checker. Both helpers require uv/uvx and the selected client's CLI (claude, codex or openclaw). A working Python 3.11+ on PATH is used first; otherwise uv supplies managed Python (with a possible first-run download). No separate Python installation is needed. Do not substitute direct client registration commands, which can expose env values in process arguments.

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.
