Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

The Sophos Central partner, organization and tenant APIs, routed to the right tenant and region

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: Other
  • You need to fill in: SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_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: SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_TENANT_ID, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_BASE_URL, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_TOKEN_URL, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_OAUTH_SCOPE, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_MCP_READ_ONLY, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_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 …”.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID secret required env
    Client ID of a Sophos Central API credential (Partner Dashboard > Settings & Policies > API Credentials, or Global Settings > API Credentials Management).
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET secret required env
    Client secret of that API credential. Sophos shows it only once, when the credential is created.
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_TENANT_ID env
    Optional. With a partner or organization credential, the customer tenant ID that tenant-scoped tools act on. Leave blank to let the fleet tools walk every customer; tools that take a tenant argument…
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_BASE_URL env
    Optional. Leave blank: requests go to https://api.central.sophos.com and each tenant's regional host is found automatically.
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_TOKEN_URL env
    Optional. Leave blank to use https://id.sophos.com/api/v2/oauth2/token.
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_OAUTH_SCOPE env
    Optional. Leave blank to use the scope Sophos Central documents (token).
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_MCP_READ_ONLY env
    Optional. Set to 1 to make the MCP server refuse every non-GET call and hide the sync and export tools. It does not replace giving the API credential a read-only role.
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN secret env
    Required only when running the MCP server with --transport http (a remote or hosted deployment); callers must send a matching Authorization: Bearer header. Not needed for the default local stdio tran…
  • SOPHOS_CENTRAL_USER_AGENT env
    Optional. Overrides the User-Agent the CLI sends to Sophos Central. Leave blank to use the built-in one.
  • PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE secret env
    Only used when the MCP server is bound to a tenant-gated client profile. This connector registers no tenant-gated source, so leave it blank.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Sophos Central 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: SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET, SOPHOS_CENTRAL_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 15 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?

Sophos Central + 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 Sophos Central

API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sophos Limited.

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

The Sophos Central partner, organization and tenant APIs, routed to the right tenant and region automatically, plus a cross-tenant triage queue, fleet tamper remediation, a multi-tenant SIEM collector and hostname-based containment. 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 agentHow to install the Sophos Central skill
Claude DesktopRun installer, then Settings > Extensions to register sophos-central-mcp (no JSON editing).
ChatGPT (desktop app)Run installer, then add sophos-central-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 sophos-central-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode.

The ChatGPT desktop app runs sophos-central-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

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

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

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

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

macOS / Linux:

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

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

Verify:

sophos-central-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/sophos-central/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

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

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/sophos-central --force

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

Install for OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):

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

SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID=<value> SOPHOS_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET=<value> sophos-central-cli doctor

Create the credential in Sophos Central first: Partner Dashboard > Settings & Policies > API Credentials for a partner, or Global Settings > API Credentials Management for an organization or a single customer. doctor checks config, paths and API reachability, then mints a token with your credential and reports whether Sophos accepted it. A partner or organization credential picks one customer for tenant-scoped commands with --tenant (or SOPHOS_CENTRAL_TENANT_ID); the fleet commands walk every customer on their own.

What this skill does

What makes this different

Most Sophos Central 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 of my 60 customers have machines with tamper protection off, and whose health score dropped since last week".

This skill syncs Sophos Central 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 triage, fleet gaps and fleet revenue join across tenants, endpoints, alerts, Account Health Check scores, licences and partner billing - work a stateless API wrapper can't do.

Live wrappers such as rijul170/sophos-central-mcp take a tenant ID on each call and answer one tenant at a time. This connector also resolves the caller with whoami and routes every tenant call to that tenant's regional host for you, but fleet refresh first pulls every customer tenant into the local store with a per-tenant ok/forbidden/error ledger, so a missing customer shows up instead of silently dropping out of the answer. It complements the Sophos Central Partner Dashboard rather than replacing it: the dashboard stays the place for policy authoring, investigations and Sophos's own consolidated alert view.
