Values you fill in
- Set the CIPP_API_KEY credential for the CIPP MCP server.
- Base URL of your self-hosted CIPP instance's API, e.g. https://cipp.example.com/api. The shipped default points at an example host, so until you set this the CLI is not talking to your tenant at all.
CIPP_NO_CONFIG_WRITEenvSet to 1 to keep credentials off disk: auth login and auth set-token refuse and nothing is written, so supply the bearer token in CIPP_API_KEY. Leave blank for the default, which keeps the minted tok…CIPP_USER_AGENTenvOverrides the User-Agent the CLI sends on CIPP requests. Leave blank to use the CLI's own built-in User-Agent.CIPP_MCP_READ_ONLYenvOptional. Set to exactly 1 to drop every MCP tool not marked read-only, cipp_execute included. Leave blank to allow writes, which run only after a preview the agent confirms.CIPP_NO_LOCAL_DATAenvOptional. Set to exactly 1 to keep no local copy of CIPP data: reads go to the API, the response cache is off, and fanout --save and --resume refuse to run.

CIPP + AI: MCP server for Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Exchange, Defender and GDAP - 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 CIPP
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CyberDrain.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
MCP server and CLI for CIPP - Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Exchange Online, Defender and GDAP across every client tenant, with a local store, offline joins across endpoints, and history over time. 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 write preview, read-only switch, token-protected HTTP mode and local-data controls described on this page ship in cipp 0.1.13 and later. Check with
cipp-cli --version.
The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):
| Your AI agent | How to install the CIPP skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register cipp-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (desktop app) | Run installer, then add cipp-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 cipp-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
The ChatGPT desktop app runs cipp-mcp locally and shares MCP configuration with Codex (OpenAI). ChatGPT on the web needs a remote server, which msp-skills does not support yet. If your team works there, a hosted gateway is the better pick; check that your AI app is on the gateway's setup list. Setup steps: mcp-install.md.
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.
Install in 60 seconds
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 companioncipp-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 setCIPP_CLI_PATHto an existing binary). Details: #331.
Download CIPP MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every CIPP 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 cipp@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the CIPP 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/cipp/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/cipp/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and runcipp-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/cipp/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/cipp/install.sh)The installer drops both cipp-cli (the CLI) and cipp-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
cipp-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/cipp/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/cipp/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 cipp@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/cipp --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/cipp --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the cipp-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the cipp skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/cipp. The skill defines how its required CLI (
cipp-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
CIPP is self-hosted, so the CLI needs your instance's API base URL (the value CIPP shows you, ending in /api) and a credential from an API client you create in CIPP under Integrations > CIPP-API. Let the CLI run the OAuth2 client-credentials exchange, reading the client secret from stdin so it stays out of your shell history:
cipp-cli auth login --client-id 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 --tenant-id 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 --base-url https://cipp.yourmsp.com/api --client-secret - < secret.txtOr set a bearer token in the environment.
macOS / Linux:
CIPP_API_KEY=<value> CIPP_BASE_URL=https://cipp.yourmsp.com/api cipp-cli doctorWindows (PowerShell):
$env:CIPP_API_KEY = "<value>"; $env:CIPP_BASE_URL = "https://cipp.yourmsp.com/api"; cipp-cli doctordoctor calls a real CIPP endpoint with your credential and prints where the CLI keeps its files. 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 tenants have users with no MFA registered, as one row per tenant? | cipp-cli posture --dimension mfa |
| How does Conditional Access compare across all tenants? | cipp-cli posture --dimension ca |
| Which tenants lack a Conditional Access policy most of the fleet has? | cipp-cli ca diff |
| Which delegated-admin (GDAP) relationships expire in the next 30 days? | cipp-cli gdap expiring --days 30 |
| What changed in admin roles since last week? | cipp-cli changes --resource roles --since 7d |
| Everything stored about one client tenant, in one record | cipp-cli scorecard --tenant contoso.onmicrosoft.com |
| Pull one read across every client tenant and keep it locally | cipp-cli fanout --endpoint /ListMFAUsers --all-tenants --save |
| Plan a batch of offboards from a CSV before anything runs | cipp-cli bulk --from offboards.csv |
| Delete the local store, response cache and learn journal | cipp-cli local-data purge --yes |
| Are my CIPP credentials and connectivity healthy? | cipp-cli doctor |
The rollups (posture, ca diff, changes, scorecard) read the local store, so run fanout --save for the endpoints they need first; each command's --help names them. fanout --save refuses a tenant's response when anything in the response reads as a failure: failure wording or a failed state anywhere under a status-like field (state, status, result, message, text, detail, reason and the like, at any depth: "status":{"code":"error"}) or in a bare message, a populated field named like error, exception or fault ("error":"HTTP 403", whatever the wording), a field named like success or ok that is false, or a failed state, in the rows or beside them, and keeps the rows already stored. It stores only a list whose every entry carries the endpoint's id; JSON null, an empty answer, a single object or a message is shown, not stored. In the tenant list, and only there, tenant records keep their own Graph token fields (LastGraphError, GraphErrorCount), so one tenant with a failed Graph token does not stop the fleet. A response with a duplicate key is refused. A row whose own name holds a failure word (a user named "Error Reporting", a group named "Denied Access") is still a row. The trade-off: a list whose rows report their own failed status is refused too; run the same fanout with --json to see what CIPP returned. Full command reference: guide.md.
