What is Bareos Mcp Server?

A Model Context Protocol server providing read-only operations for monitoring and querying the Bareos backup system via bconsole. Intended for administrators who want to interact with their backup infrastructure through AI assistants.

How to use Bareos Mcp Server?

Clone the repository, build with cargo, ensure bconsole is accessible (locally, via SSH wrapper, or Docker), then configure your MCP client (Claude Code or Claude Desktop) with the binary path and optional BAREOS_BCONSOLE_PATH environment variable. Use natural language queries to inspect jobs, clients, filesets, pools, and volumes.

常见问题

What are the prerequisites to run Bareos Mcp Server?

Rust 1.70+ for building, a Bareos Director with bconsole access, and the bconsole command-line utility.

How do I connect to a remote Bareos Director?

Create an SSH wrapper script that executes `bconsole` on the remote host, then set `BAREOS_BCONSOLE_PATH` to point to that script or ensure it’s in your PATH.

How can I test the server without an MCP client?

You can pipe JSON-RPC requests directly to the compiled binary (e.g., for initialization, listing tools, or calling `list_jobs`). Examples are provided in the README.

What tools does the server expose?

Seven tools: `list_jobs`, `get_job_status`, `get_job_log`, `list_files`, `list_clients`, `list_filesets`, `list_pools`, and `list_volumes`. All are read-only.

What if I get a "bconsole not found" or "permission denied" error?

Ensure bconsole is in your PATH or set `BAREOS_BCONSOLE_PATH`. Check that your user has permissions to read bconsole.conf or is in the bareos group. Verify the Director service is running and reachable.
