Overview

What is MCP Backup Server?

MCP Backup Server is a specialized MCP server that provides backup and restoration capabilities for AI agents and code editing tools. It is tested in both Cursor and Windsurf editors.

How to use MCP Backup Server?

Install via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @hexitex/MCP-Backup-Server --client claude) or manually (install dependencies with npm install, build TypeScript with npm run build, start with npm start). Configure the server using environment variables (BACKUP_DIR, EMERGENCY_BACKUP_DIR, MAX_VERSIONS) and add it to your editor’s MCP configuration. Available tools include backup_create, backup_list, backup_restore, backup_folder_create, backup_folder_list, backup_folder_restore, backup_list_all, and mcp_cancel.

Frequently asked questions

1

How is MCP Backup Server different from Git?

It creates instant, targeted backups with agent context, is simpler for single-operation safety, preserves thought process, and doesn’t require commit messages or branching. However, it is not for long-term version tracking, lacks collaboration features, and stores complete file copies rather than diffs.

2

What dependencies are required to run MCP Backup Server?

Node.js and npm are required. The TypeScript files must be built using `npm run build` before starting the server.

3

Where are backups stored?

By default, backups are stored in `./.code_backups` and emergency backups in `./.code_emergency_backups`. These locations can be overridden with the `BACKUP_DIR` and `EMERGENCY_BACKUP_DIR` environment variables.

4

Is there a limit on the number of backup versions?

Yes, the maximum number of versions is controlled by the `MAX_VERSIONS` environment variable, which defaults to 10.

5

Can I cancel a running backup operation?

Yes, the `mcp_cancel` tool allows cancelling an ongoing backup operation by providing its operation ID.
