Common questions

Is runZero 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: RUNZERO_API_KEY

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 (0.1.7) reached the registry 14 days ago.

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?

runZero + 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 runZero

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

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

Every runZero query, plus a local SQLite copy of your whole attack surface that diffs over time, joins assets to vulnerabilities offline, and costs zero API quota to re-slice. 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

Security note (until this connector is reprinted). Do not run HTTP mode

(--transport http), not even on localhost. This build has no password,

listens on every network interface, and predates the browser-rebinding guard,

so a web page you open can reach it. The MCP tools can also make changes with

your credentials. Use the default stdio transport. If you set up a tunnel for

a remote agent, shut it down. A fix is on the way.

The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):

Your AI agentHow to install the runZero skill
Claude DesktopRun installer, then Settings > Extensions to register runzero-mcp (no JSON editing).
ChatGPT (desktop app)Run installer, then add runzero-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 runzero-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode.

The ChatGPT desktop app runs runzero-mcp locally and shares MCP configuration with Codex (OpenAI). ChatGPT on the web needs a remote (HTTP) server, and this connector's HTTP mode is paused until it is reprinted (see the security note in mcp-install.md), so msp-skills does not support it 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.

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 runzero-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 RUNZERO_CLI_PATH to an existing binary). Details: #331.

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

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

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

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

macOS / Linux:

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

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

Verify:

runzero-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/runzero/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

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

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/runzero --force

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

Install for OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):

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

RUNZERO_API_KEY=<value> runzero-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 of our assets are most exposed right now?runzero-cli triage --agent
Only the internet-facing ones?runzero-cli triage --internet-facing --agent
What changed on our attack surface since last week?runzero-cli diff --since 7d
What newly became exposed or vulnerable since the last sync?runzero-cli exposure-delta --agent
Which of our assets are affected by a given CVE?runzero-cli affected "CVE-2024-3094" --agent
Where are risky services concentrated in a subnet?runzero-cli exposure-map "10.0.0.0/8" --agent
Which TLS certificates are expiring soon or using weak crypto?runzero-cli certs-expiring --days 90 --weak
Which assets are stale, end-of-life, or unowned?runzero-cli stale --days 90 --json
How many assets run a given software product, by version?runzero-cli software rollup "openssl" --agent

Everything above the line reads the local SQLite copy - run runzero-cli inventory sync once first, twice if you want diff and exposure-delta to have two snapshots to compare.

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 runZero 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 critical assets are running a vulnerable service" - because runZero's API is scoped per entity (/org, /account, /export), so that one question is three calls and a manual join.

This skill syncs runZero 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 triage, affected, and exposure-delta join across assets, services, and vulnerabilities in a single pass - work a stateless API wrapper can't do. And because every inventory sync is a snapshot, diff and exposure-delta compare two points in time, which a live wrapper cannot do at all.

The pain this closes

"You can't secure what you can't see" is a refrain on r/msp for a reason: asset inventory drifts, shadow IT shows up unannounced, and the questions that matter are never about one asset. They're cross-entity - *which* critical machines run *this* vulnerable service, *what* newly opened a port since last week, *which* hosts a fresh CVE actually lands on. runZero discovers all of it, but its API hands you one entity at a time, so the answer lives in a spreadsheet where three exports get joined by hand.

This skill closes that gap by syncing the whole surface locally and answering the cross-entity question directly:

  • Rank what's exposed - runzero-cli triage --agent joins criticality, services, and vulnerabilities in one pass.
  • See what changed - `r
