Common questions
Is Afi MCP safe?
It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: AFI_API_KEY, AFI_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (0.1.13) reached the registry yesterday.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

Afi + AI - for Claude, the ChatGPT desktop app, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and any agent that speaks MCP
Unofficial. Community-built Claude Code Skill and MCP server for the Afi
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Afi.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
Also from Servosity. Backup & DR is Servosity's own field - the first-party Servosity connector brings this same fleet-wide, local-mirror approach (fleet attention, stale backups, restores, QBR reporting) to Servosity Backup and DR.
Comparing backup vendors? One of our MSP partners told us, "My guys now spend a tenth of the time on backups." Fixing is included in every Servosity co-managed backup plan, and our engineers tell you what they did. See how co-managed backup works
The first CLI for Afi SaaS backup - full public-API coverage plus the fleet-wide coverage, staleness, and offboarding answers the rate-limited API can't serve live. Works with the AI you already use - ChatGPT (desktop app), Claude Desktop, Codex, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and GitHub Copilot - plus Gemini CLI. Free, open source, runs on your laptop. Built for MSP owners. No code required.
Works with your agent
The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):
| Your AI agent | How to install the Afi skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register afi-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (desktop app) | Run installer, then add afi-mcp in Settings > MCP servers as a local (STDIO) server. ChatGPT on the web is not supported yet. |
| Codex CLI | Paste the install prompt below. |
| Claude Code | Paste the install prompt below. |
| Claude Cowork | Paste the install prompt below. |
| GitHub Copilot (VS Code) | Run installer, add afi-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
The ChatGPT desktop app runs afi-mcp locally and shares MCP configuration with Codex (OpenAI). ChatGPT on the web needs a remote (HTTP) server, which msp-skills does not support yet (see mcp-install.md). If your team works there, a hosted gateway is the better pick; check that your AI app is on the gateway's setup list.
Also for the Microsoft and Google stacks
Big install base, but an honest heads-up: Gemini CLI runs the local binary you just installed, while Microsoft 365 Copilot and the Gemini app need a remote server, which msp-skills does not support yet.
| Agent | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio | Not supported by msp-skills yet: it needs a remote server. A hosted gateway is the better pick; check that your AI app is on the gateway's setup list. |
| Google Gemini | Gemini CLI is local - same as Claude Code. See mcp-install.md. The Gemini app needs a remote server and is not supported by msp-skills yet. |
Skill-native agents (also covered): Hermes and OpenClaw read this skill's
SKILL.mddirectly *and* speak MCP - see their install sections below. Also works with Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue.dev, and Zed via MCP. Full per-tool wire-up: [docs/which-agent.md](../../docs/which-agent.md).
Run more than one agent? Install across all 51+ supported agents in one command:
npx skills add Servosity/msp-skills@latest(requires Node.js, then run the per-skill installer for the CLI/MCP binaries). See docs/which-agent.md.

Fastest for Claude Desktop - one-click .mcpb
Claude Desktop bundle: the
.mcpblaunches on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows x64 and Linux x64. Every tool shells out to the companionafi-cli. Releases cut from 2026-09-18 on ship that CLI inside the bundle; older bundles contain only the MCP server, so if yours lacks the companion, run the Path A or Path B installer below first (or setAFI_CLI_PATHto an existing binary). Details: #331.
Download Afi MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every Afi release on the releases page.)
Prefer the Claude Code plugin? Add the marketplace once, then install - works immediately, no directory listing required:
/plugin marketplace add Servosity/msp-skills/plugin install afi@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the Afi Skill and MCP server from Servosity/msp-skills in this agent workspace. If this workspace uses a POSIX shell (macOS, Linux, WSL, or Bash), run
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and runafi-cli --helpto explore.
The same prompt works in any agent that can run shell.
Path B - run the installer yourself
Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.sh)The installer drops both afi-cli (the CLI) and afi-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
afi-cli --versionUpgrade to the latest version
The installer always fetches the current release - re-run it to upgrade:
macOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.ps1 | iexClaude Desktop .mcpb users: download the latest .mcpb (top of this section) and re-select it in Settings > Extensions. Claude Code plugin users: /plugin update afi@msp-skills.
Add to Claude Desktop, the ChatGPT desktop app, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or another MCP client
After the installer runs, see [mcp-install.md](./mcp-install.md) and [docs/which-agent.md](../../docs/which-agent.md) for the per-agent wire-up - one section per agent, including the GitHub Copilot servers key and the ChatGPT desktop app. Claude Desktop's Settings > Extensions panel is the simplest path; the MCP config block (for users who prefer editing JSON) is documented in mcp-install.md.
Install for Hermes
From the Hermes CLI:
hermes skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/afi --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/afi --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the afi-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the afi skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/afi. The skill defines how its required CLI (
afi-cli) can be installed via theopenclaw:frontmatter block.
OpenClaw isn't generally available yet; the frontmatter wiring is pre-shipped and will activate the moment OpenClaw launches.
Authenticate
Set the credentials the CLI needs (from your Afi portal):
AFI_API_KEY=<value> afi-cli doctorPowerShell:
$env:AFI_API_KEY = "<value>"; afi-cli doctordoctor confirms the credentials work before you run anything that touches data. It exits 0 even when the credential is rejected, so scripts should add --fail-on error.
What this skill does
| Question your MSP keeps asking | Command |
|---|---|
| Which resources have no backup protection at all? | afi-cli coverage-gaps --agent |
| Which protected resources are not getting backed up (silent failures)? | afi-cli backup-stale --agent |
| Is the whole fleet green this morning, or who failed? | afi-cli fleet-health --failed-only --agent |
| What is one tenant's full backup posture for a QBR or ticket? | afi-cli tenant-scorecard --agent |
| Am I over- or under-licensed on Afi seats? | afi-cli reconcile-licenses --agent |
| Who is jane.doe@example.com in Afi, across Multi-Geo tenants? | afi-cli resolve --agent |
| Safely back up then release a departing employee's mailbox? | afi-cli offboard --tenant --reason "employee departure" |

What makes this different
Most Afi integrations and MCP servers proxy each question into a live API call. That's fine for one record. It dies at scale, when you're asking "which mailboxes across all 47 client tenants have no backup policy attached?" - and Afi's public API throttles you for polling.
This skill syncs Afi into a local SQLite mirror with full-text search. Aggregate questions become one local SQL join: instant, offline, and the AI sees the answer, not the raw data. Compound commands like coverage-gaps, backup-stale, and reconcile-licenses join resources against protections, archives, and purchased subscriptions across every tenant at once - work a stateless API wrapper can't do.
The pain this closes
SaaS backup has a quiet failure mode MSP owners raise again and again on r/msp: the backup you *think* is running isn't. A mailbox or site gets created in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, the onboarding ticket closes, and nobody confirms a backup policy was ever attached - or a policy *is* attached but the nightly archive quietly stops landing, and the portal still shows it "protected." The gap stays invisible until a client asks for a restore and the data was never there. The recurring refrain: *"how do you actually verify your M365 backups are running across every client?"* Afi has the data, but only one tenant at a time, through a portal that forces a per-client walk, behind an API the vendor asks you not to poll.
This skill closes that gap from the local mirror:
- `afi-cli coverage-gaps --agent` - every resource with no backup protection, fleet-wide. The blind spots, named.
- `afi-cli backup-stale --agent` - protected resources with no archive at all, or in a tenant where no backup task finished in the synced window: the silent-failure class.
- `afi-cli fleet-health --failed-only --agent`
