Common questions
Is WatchGuard 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: WATCHGUARD_CLIENT_ID, WATCHGUARD_CLIENT_SECRET, WATCHGUARD_API_KEY, WATCHGUARD_ACCOUNT_ID, WATCHGUARD_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN
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?

WatchGuard + 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 WatchGuard
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
WatchGuard Cloud's Firebox, FireCloud, Endpoint Security, ThreatSync, NDR, AuthPoint and account platform APIs in one CLI and MCP server, with cross-customer reports for Service Providers. 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 WatchGuard skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register watchguard-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (desktop app) | Run installer, then add watchguard-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 watchguard-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
The ChatGPT desktop app runs watchguard-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 WatchGuard MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every WatchGuard 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 watchguard@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the WatchGuard 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/watchguard/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/watchguard/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and runwatchguard-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/watchguard/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/watchguard/install.sh)The installer drops both watchguard-cli (the CLI) and watchguard-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
watchguard-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/watchguard/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/watchguard/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 watchguard@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/watchguard --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/watchguard --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the watchguard-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the watchguard skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/watchguard. The skill defines how its required CLI (
watchguard-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 WatchGuard portal):
WATCHGUARD_ACCOUNT_ID=<value> WATCHGUARD_API_KEY=<value> WATCHGUARD_CLIENT_ID=<value> WATCHGUARD_CLIENT_SECRET=<value> watchguard-cli doctordoctor checks config, paths and API reachability, and with the Access ID, password and API key set it requests a token and reads your account record, so a wrong password shows up as a Credentials: ERROR row (while a token minted earlier with the right password is still cached, doctor reuses it for up to an hour; run watchguard-cli auth logout first to recheck the password). It exits 0 even then, so scripts should add --fail-on error. A read command such as watchguard-cli accounts list-managed --agent is the end-to-end check.
What this skill does
| Question your MSP keeps asking | Command |
|---|---|
| Which customer needs attention first across Firebox, endpoints, ThreatSync and licenses? | watchguard-cli accounts health --agent |
| Which endpoints are unprotected, out of date, isolated or waiting on a reboot, across every customer? | watchguard-cli endpoint-devices posture --agent |
| Which new ThreatSync incidents from the last 30 days need triage first, and which has nobody touched? | watchguard-cli threatsync-incidents queue --status new --duration 30D --agent |
| Which customers and computers are exposed to this CVE? | watchguard-cli endpoint-patches exposure --cve CVE-2024-38063 --agent |
| Which Fireboxes and access points went offline, came back or changed firmware since the last sync? | watchguard-cli firebox-devices changes --agent |
| Which Fireboxes run older firmware than the rest of the same model in my fleet? | watchguard-cli firebox-devices firmware-lag --agent |
| Which allocations don't match the Fireboxes that actually report in, and what expires this month? | watchguard-cli allocations reconcile --expiring-within 30d --agent |
| Did the Firebox deployment finish, or fail? | watchguard-cli firebox-transactions wait --device FB-12345 --max-wait 10m |
accounts health, endpoint-devices posture and endpoint-patches exposure are built for a WatchGuard Service Provider account: they reach each customer with its own token. firebox-devices changes and firmware-lag read the local copy, so sync the device list first: watchguard-cli sync --resources firebox_devices --full (it includes your customers' Fireboxes by default). firebox-transactions wait exits 0 when the deployment completes, 8 when it fails, times out or is canceled, and 9 when it is still running at --max-wait.

What makes this different
The only other MCP server for WatchGuard Cloud we found on GitHub as of October 2026, WYRE-AI/watchguard-cloud-mcp, covers the platform's account, activation and operator APIs and lists Firebox and Endpoint Security as out of scope for now. A question like "which of my 40 customers has an offline Firebox, an unprotected laptop and an untouched incident" still means switching into every account.
This skill covers 208 operations from 13 of WatchGuard's published API specifications: Firebox Management and Reports, FireCloud, Endpoint Security, ThreatSync, NDR assets and Smart Alerts, AuthPoint authentication, and the platform's accounts, operators, activations, license allocation and authorization APIs. Where WatchGuard requires it, the cross-customer commands mint a separate token for each managed account, so one Service
