Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Liongard config visibility: sync your estate offline, then drift-check and search it from one CLI.

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: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, LIONGARD_API_KEY, LIONGARD_ENDPOINTS_SESSION_TOKEN_AUTH, LIONGARD_INSTANCE, LIONGARD_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE

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: LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, LIONGARD_API_KEY, LIONGARD_BASE_URL, LIONGARD_ENDPOINTS_SESSION_TOKEN_AUTH, LIONGARD_INSTANCE, LIONGARD_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, LIONGARD_MCP_READ_ONLY, LIONGARD_NO_LOCAL_DATA, LIONGARD_USER_AGENT, 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 …”.

  • LIONGARD_INSTANCE required env
    Your Liongard subdomain (the 'acme' in acme.app.liongard.com); builds the API URL.
  • LIONGARD_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN secret env
    Required only when running the MCP server with --transport http. Not needed for the default local stdio transport.
  • LIONGARD_MCP_READ_ONLY env
    Optional. Set to exactly 1 to expose only read-only tools and refuse any state-changing execute call.
  • LIONGARD_NO_LOCAL_DATA env
    Optional. Set to 1 to keep no local copy of API responses: reads go to the API and the response cache is off.
  • LIONGARD_USER_AGENT env
    Overrides the User-Agent the CLI sends on Liongard requests. Leave blank to use the CLI's own built-in User-Agent.
  • PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE secret env
    Optional: binds the MCP server to an existing tenant-gated Printing Press client profile. Leave unset for a single-tenant install.

Common questions

Is Liongard 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: LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, LIONGARD_API_KEY, LIONGARD_ENDPOINTS_SESSION_TOKEN_AUTH, LIONGARD_INSTANCE, LIONGARD_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE

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 (0.1.8) 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.

What can I use instead?

Liongard + 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 Liongard

API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Liongard, Inc.

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

Every Liongard endpoint, plus an offline copy of your whole MSP estate you can join, search, and drift-check from one command. 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 Liongard skill
Claude DesktopRun installer, then Settings > Extensions to register liongard-mcp (no JSON editing).
ChatGPT (desktop app)Run installer, then add liongard-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 liongard-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode.

The ChatGPT desktop app runs liongard-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 Remote agents in 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: these are the remote / enterprise path, not the local binary you just installed.

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 liongard-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 LIONGARD_CLI_PATH to an existing binary). Details: #331.

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

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

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

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

macOS / Linux:

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

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

Verify:

liongard-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/liongard/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

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

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/liongard --force

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

Install for OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):

Install the liongard skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/liongard. The skill defines how its required CLI (liongard-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 Liongard portal):

LIONGARD_INSTANCE=<your-subdomain> LIONGARD_API_KEY=<value> liongard-cli doctor
  • `LIONGARD_INSTANCE` (required) is your Liongard subdomain - the acme in https://acme.app.liongard.com. It builds the API URL; if you leave it unset the CLI falls back to the placeholder example.app.liongard.com, which will not reach your data, so always set it. (Advanced: set LIONGARD_BASE_URL instead to point at a full custom URL.)
  • The credential (required) comes in one of two shapes, and you set exactly one of them. Either LIONGARD_API_KEY, your pre-encoded base64 X-ROAR-API-KEY (the line above), or the pair LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_ID + LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, the two strings Liongard hands you, which the CLI encodes for you:
  LIONGARD_INSTANCE=<your-subdomain> LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<value> LIONGARD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=<value> liongard-cli doctor

Do not set both shapes: LIONGARD_API_KEY wins whenever it is non-empty and the ID/secret pair is ignored.

  • `LIONGARD_ENDPOINTS_API_KEY` (optional) is only needed for the Liongard Endpoints API surface; leave it unset if you do not use it.

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

Run liongard-cli sync once first - the cross-estate commands below (drift, health, coverage, the stale/offline/failure rollups, metrics pivot) read your local mirror, so until a full sync has finished they refuse and name the exact sync command to run.

Question your MSP keeps askingCommand
What changed across all my clients in the last 24h?liongard-cli drift --since 24h
Which collectors (launchpoints) have gone stale?liongard-cli launchpoints stale --older-than 7d
Which agents are offline, and whose environment do they serve?liongard-cli agents offline
Give me one health scorecard for the whole estate.liongard-cli health --agent
Show one client's complete picture in a single command.liongard-cli environments overview 42
Which inspections failed or errored across the estate?liongard-cli detections failures --since 7d
Which systems does one metric cover, CSV-ready for a report?liongard-cli metrics pivot "MFA Enabled Count" --csv
Where are my monitoring gaps?liongard-cli coverage
Which environments are still missing a given inspector?liongard-cli inspectors coverage --inspector "Microsoft 365"

What makes this different

Most Liongard 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 "what changed across all 40 clients this week" or "which of my 600 launchpoints went stale" - questions that become dozens of paginated API calls.

This skill syncs Liongard 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 drift, health, and metrics pivot join across environments, systems, launchpoints, agents, and detections in one shot - work a stateless API wrapper can't do.

The pain this closes

Liongard is one of the most data-rich tools in the MSP stack - and one of the hardest to operationalize. The recurring theme in r/msp threads about Liongard is the same: it collects an enormous amount of configuration and change data, but the value is locked behind clicking into one environment at a time. Two pains show up over and o
