Common questions

Is SimpleBackups 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 13 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

SimpleBackups MCP Server

Check, debug, and fix your backups from any AI assistant. Find out which backups are failing and why, read run logs, and run, pause, or resume backups for your databases, servers, cloud storage, and SaaS apps.

SimpleBackups automates backups for databases, servers, cloud storage, and SaaS apps. It covers Supabase, Neon, PlanetScale, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and apps like Notion, GitHub and Linear. This MCP server lets your AI assistant (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) check backup health, investigate failures and run safe operations without opening the dashboard.

This is a hosted remote server. There is nothing to install or run, and this repository holds documentation only.

Endpoint: https://mcp.simplebackups.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP)
Auth: OAuth 2.1. You sign in with your SimpleBackups account; no API keys needed.
Docs: https://simplebackups.com/docs/mcp/overview
MCP Registry name: com.simplebackups/mcp

What you can do

"Which backups failed in the last 24 hours, and why?"
"Show me the run timeline for my production Postgres backup."
"Get the logs of the last failed run and tell me how to fix it."
"Pause all backups for the staging server during maintenance, then resume them."
"Run the MySQL backup now."
"Prepare a restore for yesterday's backup of my Supabase database."
