ESET MCP

ESET + AI - for ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, and any agent that speaks MCP

Unofficial. Community-built Claude Code Skill and MCP server for the ESET

API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ESET, spol. s r.o.

▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.

Every ESET Connect endpoint in one binary, plus per-customer health, exposure and QBR reports built from a local mirror of your MSP tree. Works with the AI you already use - ChatGPT (Plus/Pro+), Claude Desktop, Codex, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and GitHub Copilot - plus Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio and Google Gemini via the remote path. 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):

For ChatGPT, run eset-protect-mcp --transport http with ESET_PROTECT_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN set, on an HTTPS host; every request sends that token. See mcp-install.md.

Also for the Microsoft and Google stacks

Big install base, but an honest heads-up: these are the remote / enterprise path, not the local binary you just installed.

Skill-native agents (also covered): Hermes and OpenClaw read this skill's SKILL.md directly *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.

Install in 60 seconds

Fastest for Claude Desktop - one-click .mcpb

Download ESET MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every ESET 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 eset-protect@msp-skills

Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)

Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:

Install the ESET 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/eset-protect/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, run iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/eset-protect/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and run eset-protect-cli --help to 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/eset-protect/install.ps1 | iex

macOS / Linux:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/eset-protect/install.sh)

The installer drops both eset-protect-cli (the CLI) and eset-protect-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.

Verify:

eset-protect-cli --version

Upgrade 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/eset-protect/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/eset-protect/install.ps1 | iex

Claude Desktop .mcpb users: download the latest .mcpb (top of this section) and re-select it in Settings > Extensions. Claude Code plugin users: /plugin update eset-protect@msp-skills.

Add to Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, 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 remote Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio path. 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/eset-protect --force

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/eset-protect --force

Hermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the eset-protect-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.

Install for OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):

Install the eset-protect skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/eset-protect. The skill defines how its required CLI (eset-protect-cli) can be installed via the openclaw: frontmatter block.

OpenClaw isn't generally available yet; the frontmatter wiring is pre-shipped and will activate the moment OpenClaw launches.

Authenticate

Create a dedicated ESET Connect API user (a Superuser or Root does it in ESET PROTECT Hub, ESET Business Account or ESET MSP Administrator 2, with the Integrations toggle on), then give the CLI its email and password. ESET_PROTECT_REGION is the region of your ESET PROTECT console (eu by default; de, us, ca or jpn):

ESET_PROTECT_USERNAME=<value> ESET_PROTECT_PASSWORD=<value> ESET_PROTECT_REGION=<value> eset-protect-cli auth login

On Windows (PowerShell):

$env:ESET_PROTECT_USERNAME = "<value>"

$env:ESET_PROTECT_PASSWORD = " " $env:ESET_PROTECT_REGION = " " eset-protect-cli auth login

auth login exchanges the email and password for a one-hour ESET Connect token, caches the token for that region and user, and proves it with one read call (it exits 4 when ESET rejects the credentials or the API user cannot read devices, and 5 when the token request or the probe fails for another reason, such as a network error or an ESET outage); other commands mint and refresh the token on their own. The password is not written to disk. ESET_PROTECT_TOKEN is optional, for a token you minted yourself. eset-protect-cli doctor checks config, paths, reachability and the credentials, and exits 0 even when a row fails, so scripts should add --fail-on error.

Then fill the local mirror the per-customer views read from:

eset-protect-cli sync --resources devices,device-groups,detections,incidents

Re-run it before a triage or report run (the views read what was last synced), and run eset-protect-cli sync --full now and then: a plain sync adds and updates, while --full also drops devices and groups that were deleted in ESET.

What makes this different

Most ESET 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 of my 40 customers have machines that need attention or stopped checking in, worst first".

ESET Connect has no "which customer owns this device" call: the answer is the nearest ancestor device group linked to a company, which only the synced group tree can tell you. This skill syncs your ESET PROTECT tree into a local SQLite mirror, so fleet health, triage and detections spread are local joins across devices, device groups, detections and incidents, each row attributed to its customer. Live views such as exposure, patches backlog and report customer read ESET directly and attribute every hit through the same tree. A partial scan reports truncated and rejected_rows instead of passing for a clean result.

MCP servers such as maciekaz/ESET-MCP and Fenrindale/eset-protect-mcp expose the ESET Connect endpoints as tools. This one covers the endpoints too, and adds the per-customer rollups on top.
