To connect Claude Code to a UniFi Protect network video recorder, provide your controller IP/hostname, local admin username, and password. The setup script writes these credentials into the appropriate MCP configuration for your runtime.

Yes, you can restrict AI access to read-only operations on UniFi Protect cameras. The setup process applies granular permission policies using configurable `UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_<CATEGORY>_<ACTION>=true` variables for camera and device management.

UniFi Protect MCP integration supports Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw. The setup flow detects your runtime and applies the correct client-specific configuration values and write behavior for each platform.

Configuring a UniFi Protect API key for MCP server access requires providing your controller IP/hostname and credentials. The setup script optionally prompts for an API key and writes it alongside your username and password into the MCP configuration.

Setting up a UniFi Protect MCP server requires your UniFi controller host, local admin credentials, and optionally an API key. The setup script runs prerequisite checks first to satisfy safe initialization before writing configuration values.

UniFi Protect MCP setup writes permission policies by enforcing optional policy variable selection during configuration. Ensure you specify the correct `UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_<CATEGORY>_<ACTION>=true` variables for your desired read-only or write access levels.
