Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

The first CLI for Afi SaaS backup - full public-API coverage plus the fleet-wide coverage

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: AFI_API_KEY, AFI_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: AFI_API_KEY, AFI_BASE_URL, AFI_MCP_READ_ONLY, AFI_NO_LOCAL_DATA, AFI_USER_AGENT, AFI_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • AFI_API_KEY secret required env
    Set the AFI_API_KEY credential for the Afi MCP server.
  • AFI_BASE_URL env
    Base URL for the Afi API. Leave the prefilled default unless your account uses a different regional or self-hosted host.
  • AFI_MCP_READ_ONLY env
    Set to 1 to make the MCP server refuse every write to Afi: only read tools are callable. Leave blank to allow writes (each MCP write still previews first and sends only when called again with confirm…
  • AFI_NO_LOCAL_DATA env
    Optional. Set to 1 to keep no local copy of API responses: reads go to the API and sync refuses to run. Leave blank to keep the local store.
  • AFI_USER_AGENT env
    Overrides the User-Agent the CLI sends on Afi requests. Leave blank to use the CLI's built-in User-Agent.
  • AFI_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN secret env
    Required only when running the MCP server with --transport http (a remote or hosted deployment); at least 32 characters. Callers must send a matching Authorization: Bearer header. Not needed for the…
  • PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE env
    Binds this MCP server to one tenant-gated client profile. Leave blank to use the profile configured as default_client_profile.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Afi MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.1.9) reached the registry today.

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.

What can I use instead?

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 agentHow to install the Afi skill
Claude DesktopRun 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 CLIPaste the install prompt below.
Claude CodePaste the install prompt below.
Claude CoworkPaste 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.

AgentWhat it takes
Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot StudioNot 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 GeminiGemini 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.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

Claude Desktop bundle: the .mcpb launches on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows x64 and Linux x64. Every tool shells out to the companion afi-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 set AFI_CLI_PATH to 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, run iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and run afi-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/afi/install.ps1 | iex

macOS / 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 --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/afi/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/afi/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 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 --force

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/afi --force

Hermes 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 the openclaw: 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 doctor

PowerShell:

$env:AFI_API_KEY = "<value>"; afi-cli doctor

doctor 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 askingCommand
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"

Full command reference: guide.md. For the AI-agent operating contract (--agent, --dry-run, when to confirm before mutating), see AGENTS.md.

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`
