Values you fill in
- Set the NERDIO_BASE_URL credential for the Nerdio Manager MCP server.
- Set the NERDIO_TOKEN_URL credential for the Nerdio Manager MCP server.
- Set the NERDIO_CLIENT_ID credential for the Nerdio Manager MCP server.
- Set the NERDIO_CLIENT_SECRET credential for the Nerdio Manager MCP server.
- Set the NERDIO_OAUTH_SCOPE credential for the Nerdio Manager MCP server.
NERDIO_NO_CONFIG_WRITEenvSet to 1 to keep credentials off disk. The token cache becomes a no-op, so the connector mints a fresh token each run instead of writing one to config.toml. Leave blank for the default cached behavio…NERDIO_MCP_READ_ONLYenvOptional. Set to exactly 1 to expose only read-only tools and refuse any non-GET execute call. Preset to 1; clear it only when you want the agent to run the tools this switch hides.NERDIO_NO_LOCAL_DATAenvOptional. Set to 1 to keep no local copy of API responses: reads go to the API, the response cache is off, and sync refuses to run. Leave blank to keep the local store.- Required only when running the MCP server with --transport http. Not needed for the default local stdio transport.
NERDIO_USER_AGENTenvOverrides the User-Agent the CLI sends on Nerdio Manager requests.- Optional: binds the MCP server to an existing tenant-gated Printing Press client profile. Leave unset for a single-tenant install.

Nerdio Manager + 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 Nerdio Manager
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nerdio, Inc.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
The first non-PowerShell client for the Nerdio Manager for MSP API - cross-account AVD fleet audits, async-job plumbing, and offline search no other Nerdio tool has. 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 Nerdio Manager skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register nerdio-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (desktop app) | Run installer, then add nerdio-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 nerdio-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
The ChatGPT desktop app runs nerdio-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.
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 companionnerdio-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 setNERDIO_CLI_PATHto an existing binary). Details: #331.
Download Nerdio Manager MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every Nerdio Manager 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 nerdio@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the Nerdio Manager 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/nerdio/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/nerdio/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and runnerdio-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/nerdio/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/nerdio/install.sh)The installer drops both nerdio-cli (the CLI) and nerdio-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
nerdio-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/nerdio/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/nerdio/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 nerdio@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/nerdio --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/nerdio --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the nerdio-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the nerdio skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/nerdio. The skill defines how its required CLI (
nerdio-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 Nerdio Manager portal):
NERDIO_BASE_URL=<value> NERDIO_TOKEN_URL=<value> NERDIO_CLIENT_ID=<value> NERDIO_CLIENT_SECRET=<value> NERDIO_OAUTH_SCOPE=<value> nerdio-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 makes this different
Most Nerdio Manager 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 host pools across all 40 of my customers have autoscale turned off this quarter" - because the NMM API only returns one account, or one billing period, per call.
This skill syncs Nerdio Manager 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 fleet autoscale-audit, fleet billing-rollup, and usages drift join across customer accounts, host pools, invoices, and usage windows - work a stateless API wrapper can't do. And because every NMM change is async, job wait turns "did it finish?" into a scriptable primitive that exits non-zero when the job actually failed.
The pain this closes
On r/msp, the recurring Nerdio refrain is that autoscale is the whole reason to buy it - and the hardest thing to keep honest across a fleet. There's no single view of which host pools, in which customer tenants, actually have scaling enabled, so idle session hosts quietly bleed Azure spend until the invoice lands. Every NMM install is per-tenant, so even "how many hosts are running right now across all clients" means logging into each portal one at a time. And because every change is async, the portal makes you babysit the Jobs page to know whether anything finished.
This skill answers those at the fleet level:
- `nerdio-cli fleet autoscale-audit` - every pool across every account whose autoscale is off or drifting from your baseline.
- `nerdio-cli fleet host-estate` - one table of every session host, its pool, account, and power state.
- `nerdio-cli fleet billing-rollup --period : ` - per-customer billed, unpaid, and usage totals, PSA-reconciliation-ready.
- `nerdio-cli usages drift --from : --to : ` - which customers' consumption spiked month-over-month.
- `nerdio-cli job wait ` - poll any NMM job to a terminal state and ex
