UISP API MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with UISP (Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider) API. This server dynamically loads all available endpoints from the UISP swagger specification and provides configurable access control through blacklisting.
Features
- Dynamic Tool Generation: Automatically creates MCP tools from swagger.json
- Comprehensive Coverage: Exposes all UISP API endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
- Configurable Blacklist: Control which endpoints are exposed via blacklist.yaml
- Method-Based Filtering: Block entire HTTP methods (e.g., all POST/PUT/DELETE operations)
- Type Safety: Preserves parameter types and enum values from API spec
- Smart Parameter Handling: Correctly handles both path and query parameters
- Automatic Retries: Built-in retry logic with exponential backoff
- Detailed Error Messages: Rich error information from API responses
Installation
Using UV (recommended)
cd uisp_api_mcp
uv sync
Using pip
cd uisp_api_mcp
pip install -e .
Configuration
Environment Variables
Create a .env file in the project root:
# Required
UISP_BASE_URL=https://your-uisp-instance.com
UISP_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
# Optional (with defaults)
UISP_API_TIMEOUT=30.0
UISP_API_RETRY_ATTEMPTS=3
UISP_API_RETRY_DELAY=1.0
UISP_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE=25
UISP_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
Blacklist Configuration
The server uses etc/blacklist.yaml to control which endpoints are exposed. By default, all modifying operations (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) and sensitive endpoints are blacklisted.
# Methods to exclude (blocks all endpoints using these HTTP methods)
methods:
- POST # Create operations
- PUT # Update operations
- DELETE # Delete operations
- PATCH # Partial update operations
# Tags to exclude (blocks all endpoints with these tags)
tags:
- Authorization
- Users
- Server
# ... etc
# Path patterns to exclude (regex patterns)
paths:
- .*login.*
- .*password.*
- .*auth.*
# ... etc
With the default configuration, only GET (read-only) operations are exposed.
Getting UISP API Token
- Log in to your UISP instance
- Navigate to Settings → Users
- Select your user account
- Generate an API token
Usage
Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"uisp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "/path/to/uisp_api_mcp", "run", "uisp-api-mcp"],
"env": {
"UISP_BASE_URL": "https://your-uisp-instance.com",
"UISP_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
}
}
}
}
Command Line
# With UV
uv run uisp-api-mcp
# With Python
python -m uisp_api_mcp
Available Tools
The server dynamically generates tools from the UISP swagger specification. With the default blacklist (blocking all POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH methods), approximately 120+ read-only tools are available, including:
Common Tools
- Sites:
sites,sites_id,sites_search,sites_traffic - Devices:
devices,devices_id,devices_id_detail,devices_id_statistics - Monitoring:
logs,outages,nms_statistics,nms_summary - Network:
datalinks,datalinks_id,devices_id_interfaces - System Info:
nms_info,nms_version,nms_enums
Tool Naming Convention
Tools are named based on the API endpoint path and HTTP method:
- GET
/sites→sites - GET
/sites/{id}→sites_id - GET
/devices/{id}/detail→devices_id_detail - POST
/sites→sites_post(if not blacklisted) - PUT
/sites/{id}→sites_id_put(if not blacklisted) - DELETE
/sites/{id}→sites_id_delete(if not blacklisted)
Parameter Types
All tools preserve the original API parameter types:
- String enums show available values (e.g., "Available values: site, endpoint, client")
- Required vs optional parameters are properly marked
- Path parameters (like
{id}) are automatically handled
Examples
List all sites
Tool: sites
Parameters:
- type_: "site" # Available values: site, endpoint, client, subscriber
- ucrm: true # Only sites bound with CRM
Get specific site details
Tool: sites_id
Parameters:
- id_: "9ef86767-fd8d-487c-8c97-77f763c5a99a"
- ucrmDetails: true
List devices
Tool: devices
Parameters:
- siteId: "site-uuid"
- type_: ["erouter", "eswitch"] # Device types
- role: ["router", "switch"] # Device roles
Get device statistics
Tool: devices_id_statistics
Parameters:
- id_: "device-uuid"
- interval: "hour"
- start: "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
- period: "86400000" # 24 hours in milliseconds
Error Handling
The server includes comprehensive error handling:
- Authentication errors (401)
- Not found errors (404)
- Validation errors (400)
- Rate limiting (429)
- Connection timeouts
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff

How It Works
- Swagger Loading: The server reads
etc/swagger.jsonat startup - Blacklist Filtering: Endpoints are filtered based on
etc/blacklist.yaml(methods, tags, paths) - Tool Generation: Each allowed endpoint becomes an MCP tool with proper types
- Parameter Handling: Path parameters are substituted, query parameters are passed
- Error Handling: API errors are caught and enriched with details
Adding/Removing Endpoints
To modify which endpoints are exposed:
- Edit
etc/blacklist.yaml - Add or remove:
- HTTP methods (e.g., remove POST from methods list to allow POST operations)
- Tags (to block/allow all endpoints with specific tags)
- Path patterns (regex patterns to match specific endpoints)
- Restart the server
Updating the API Spec
To update with a newer UISP API version:
- Replace
etc/swagger.jsonwith the latest version - The server will automatically pick up new endpoints
