bareos

Monitor and query your Bareos backup infrastructure with this read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for efficient backup management.

Installation
Run this command in your terminal to add the MCP server to Claude Code.
Run in terminal:
Command
claude mcp add --transport stdio ahmadskibidisigma-bareos-mcp-server node server.js \
  --env PORT="Port on which the MCP server runs" \
  --env NODE_ENV="Environment for Node.js (e.g., production)"

How to use

This MCP server appears to be a BareOS-related MCP server. Once running, it exposes the MCP interface to manage BareOS-related tasks through a standardized set of commands exposed by the server. Use the MCP tooling to query, configure, and trigger actions supported by the server such as scheduling backups, listing BareOS clients, and retrieving job statuses. If you have an MCP frontend or CLI, connect to the server using the configured port and authentication method, then explore the available commands and resources exposed under the bareos namespace. Typical workflows include listing clients, initiating backup jobs, and monitoring job progress via MCP queries and responses.

How to install

Prerequisites:

  • Node.js (LTS version) and npm installed on your system
  • Access to the BareOS MCP server repository

Installation steps:

  1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/ahmadskibidisigma/bareos-mcp-server.git cd bareos-mcp-server

  2. Install dependencies npm install

  3. Configure environment (example)

    • Create a .env file or set environment variables: PORT=3000 NODE_ENV=production
  4. Start the server npm start (If npm start is not defined, you can run: node server.js)

  5. Verify the server is running by hitting http://localhost:3000 (or the configured port) or using your MCP client to connect to the server's MCP endpoint.

Additional notes

Tips:

  • Ensure the BareOS backend is reachable from the MCP server host. Network/firewall rules may block communication.
  • If you change the port, update the MCP client configuration accordingly.
  • Common issues include missing environment variables or misconfigured credentials; consult logs for details.
  • If using Docker or a container environment later, you can wrap the Node server in a container and map the port accordingly.
  • Review any BareOS-specific permissions required for performing backups via MCP actions.
