Sherweb + 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 Sherweb
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sherweb Inc..
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
Every Sherweb Partner API capability, plus a local SQLite store, offline analytics, and margin/drift/orphan joins no other Sherweb 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
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 agent | How to install the Sherweb skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register sherweb-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (desktop app) | Run installer, then add sherweb-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 sherweb-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
The ChatGPT desktop app runs sherweb-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.
| 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 companionsherweb-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 setSHERWEB_CLI_PATHto an existing binary). Details: #331.
Download Sherweb MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every Sherweb 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 sherweb@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the Sherweb 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/sherweb/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/sherweb/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and runsherweb-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/sherweb/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/sherweb/install.sh)The installer drops both sherweb-cli (the CLI) and sherweb-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
sherweb-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/sherweb/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/sherweb/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 sherweb@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/sherweb --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/sherweb --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the sherweb-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the sherweb skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/sherweb. The skill defines how its required CLI (
sherweb-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 Sherweb portal):
SHERWEB_CLIENT_ID=<value> SHERWEB_CLIENT_SECRET=<value> SHERWEB_OAUTH_SCOPE=<value> SHERWEB_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY=<value> sherweb-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 this skill does
| Question your MSP keeps asking | Command |
|---|---|
| What's my net margin per customer this month - receivable minus payable? | sherweb-cli margin --month 2026-04 |
| Whose margin is sliding month over month before an account goes negative? | sherweb-cli margin-trend --last 6 |
| Which active subscriptions am I paying Sherweb for but not billing the customer? | sherweb-cli orphans |
| Where am I absorbing metered usage I never billed back? | sherweb-cli usage-leak |
| Which subscriptions have more seats paid than seats actually used? | sherweb-cli right-size |
| What changed on my payable charges since the last sync? | sherweb-cli drift |
| What was added, cancelled, or resized across my whole book this month? | sherweb-cli sub-changes --since 30d |
| How many total seats of each product do I carry across every customer? | sherweb-cli fleet-subs --product "Microsoft 365" |
| What will a seat change cost before I submit the amendment? | sherweb-cli amend-preview --sub "SUB123" --qty 25 |

What makes this different
Most Sherweb 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's my net margin across all 80 customers this month" and the answer means stitching the Distributor billing endpoints to per-customer receivable charges, subscriptions, and usage one client at a time.
This skill syncs Sherweb 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 margin, orphans, and usage-leak join across payable charges, receivable charges, subscriptions, and metered usage - work a stateless API wrapper can't do.
The pain this closes
The Sherweb Partner API splits billing across two surfaces: the Distributor API returns the *payable* charges (what you owe Sherweb) and the Service Provider API returns the *receivable* charges and subscriptions (what you bill clients). No portal screen joins them, so net margin per customer gets rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet every close. The recurring r/msp version is "license sprawl" - a client downsizes, the subscription stays active on the Sherweb side, and you keep paying for seats you never bill back. This skill closes that gap from your synced mirror:
sherweb-cli margin- net margin per customer (receivable minus payable), worst-margin-first.sherweb-cli orphans- active subscriptions with zero receivable charges: seats you pay for but never bill.sherweb-cli usage-leak- metered usage with no matching receivable charge: consumption you absorb.sherweb-cli right-size- subscripti
