What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of setting up a UniFi Protect connection so your AI client can access your NVR for discovery and controlled operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Walks through NVR host configuration: Collects the UniFi controller IP/hostname needed to reach UniFi Protect.
  • Stores correct credentials per client: Prompts for a UniFi controller username and password (and optionally an API key) and writes them into the appropriate MCP configuration for your runtime.
  • Applies granular permission policies: Lets you enable read-only or camera/device management write permissions using the expected UNIFI_POLICY_PROTECT_<CATEGORY>_<ACTION>=true variables.
  • Supports Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw: Uses the correct setup flow and client-specific write behavior for each runtime.

Quick Start

Tell the Skill your UniFi controller IP/hostname, your local admin username, and your UniFi Protect password, then choose whether to configure read-only or write permissions.
