Common questions
Is SonicWall 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: SONICWALL_MSW_API_KEY, SONICWALL_NSM_TOKEN, SONICWALL_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 (0.1.3) 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?

SonicWall + 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 SonicWall
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SonicWall Inc.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
Cyber-insurance posture for a whole SonicWall fleet: firmware, advisories, MFA, SSL-VPN exposure and licences, one row per firewall. 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 checks a token, but it
predates the fix release's request size and time limits. 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 SonicWall skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register sonicwall-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (desktop app) | Run installer, then add sonicwall-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 sonicwall-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
The ChatGPT desktop app runs sonicwall-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
Download SonicWall MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every SonicWall 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 sonicwall@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the SonicWall 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/sonicwall/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/sonicwall/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and runsonicwall-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/sonicwall/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/sonicwall/install.sh)The installer drops both sonicwall-cli (the CLI) and sonicwall-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
sonicwall-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/sonicwall/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/sonicwall/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 sonicwall@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/sonicwall --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/sonicwall --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the sonicwall-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the sonicwall skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/sonicwall. The skill defines how its required CLI (
sonicwall-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
Create a MySonicWall API key (ideally for an account whose NSM role is read-only), then mint the NSM session token from it and check it:
export SONICWALL_MSW_API_KEY=<your MySonicWall API key>export SONICWALL_REGION=eucentral # EU NSM portals only; the default is uswest sonicwall-cli nsm-login sonicwall-cli doctor
nsm-login trades the key for an NSM session token and saves it (never printed). The token lasts 8 hours with a 15-minute idle timeout, so run nsm-login again whenever NSM commands exit 4. doctor then makes one authenticated NSM read (GET /tenants), so it reports whether the token actually works, not just whether one is set. Licence checks and blind-spots also read MySonicWall with the same key.
What this skill does
| Question your MSP keeps asking | Command |
|---|---|
| One insurance-posture row per client firewall: firmware, support, advisories, licences, admin TOTP, SSL-VPN | sonicwall-cli posture |
| Which firewalls does the CVE-2024-40766 advisory hit, and which have SSL-VPN on a WAN zone? | sonicwall-cli exposure "SNWLID-2024-0015" |
| Which SonicWall advisories hit the most firewalls in my fleet? | sonicwall-cli exposure |
| Which admins and local SSL-VPN users have no one-time password? | sonicwall-cli mfa-audit |
| Which firewalls are behind the newest firmware, and what does the upgrade clear? | sonicwall-cli firmware drift --behind-only |
| Which licences expire in the next 90 days, and which boxes should be replaced instead? | sonicwall-cli licenses renewals --days 90 |
| Which firewalls are registered in MySonicWall but invisible to NSM? | sonicwall-cli blind-spots |
| What got worse since last week? | sonicwall-cli posture changes --fleet --since 7d |

What makes this different
GTalksTech/sonicwall-mcp is a read-only Python MCP server for NSM SaaS with 46 tools for inventory, firmware, advisories, licence posture, per-site SSL-VPN configuration and config history.
This one is a single binary that works as a CLI and an MCP server, built for the questions an MSP gets the morning a SonicWall advisory lands and again at insurance renewal. posture reads every firewall in your NSM tenant through NSM's SonicOS passthrough and grades each one pass, warn, fail or unknown for firmware, end of support, advisories, licence expiry, admin TOTP and SSL-VPN exposure. mfa-audit names every local SSL-VPN user without a one-time password, blind-spots finds firewalls registered in MySonicWall that NSM cannot see, and each posture run is saved locally so posture changes shows what got worse since last week. A firewall it could not read is unknown, never pass. Secret fields SonicWall's own API schemas document (local-user and device passwords, registration and authentication codes, SNMP community names, MySonicWall API keys) are blanked before anything is printed, cached or handed to an agent.
SonicWall's SAMI is an assistant inside SonicWall's Unified Management console that answers fleet questions and can run tasks such as firmware upgrades. This works from the AI agent you already use, never changes a firewall, and grades the posture an insurer asks about per firewall.
