Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for Spanning Cloud Backup — M365/GWS/Salesforce backups, restores, audit.

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: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: SPANNING_PLATFORM, SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL, SPANNING_API_TOKEN

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: SPANNING_PLATFORM, SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL, SPANNING_API_TOKEN, MCP_TRANSPORT, AUTH_MODE, LOG_LEVEL

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

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

Values you fill in

  • SPANNING_PLATFORM required env
    Platform: 'm365', 'gws', or 'salesforce'
  • SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL required env
    Spanning admin account email
  • SPANNING_API_TOKEN secret required env
    Spanning API token
  • MCP_TRANSPORT env
    Transport mode for the server. Set to 'stdio' for local CLI use; the image defaults to 'http' for gateway hosting.
  • AUTH_MODE env
    Credential source: 'env' reads vars locally, 'gateway' expects header injection from the WYRE MCP Gateway.
  • LOG_LEVEL env
    Log verbosity: debug, info, warn, error

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

Common questions

Is Spanning Cloud Backup 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: SPANNING_PLATFORM, SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL, SPANNING_API_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 (1.1.3) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Spanning Cloud Backup MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server exposing the Spanning Cloud Backup API to Claude and other MCP clients.

What it does

Surface SaaS backup posture for your M365, Google Workspace, or Salesforce tenants directly to AI assistants — list backed-up users, inspect covered services, browse backup history, queue restores, and audit admin activity and license usage.

  • Interactive backup status card (MCP Apps, SEP-1865): spanning_get_user renders as a read-only interactive card in MCP Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web) showing the user's backup status, license state, last backup, and per-service coverage; neutral by default, brandable via window.__BRAND__ injection or MCP_BRAND_* env vars (MCP_BRAND_NAME, MCP_BRAND_LOGO_URL, MCP_BRAND_PRIMARY_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_ACCENT_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_BG, MCP_BRAND_TEXT). Plain-JSON behavior is unchanged in other hosts. Rebuild the embedded card with npm run build:ui after editing ui/.

Tools

ToolPurpose
spanning_list_usersList backed-up users in the org
spanning_get_userFetch a single user's detail
spanning_list_servicesList services covered for a user
spanning_list_backupsList backup runs for a user + service
spanning_queue_restoreQueue a restore (DESTRUCTIVE — requires confirmation)
spanning_get_restore_statusCheck restore progress
spanning_list_audit_logAdmin audit log (date-range elicitation)
spanning_get_license_usageSeats used vs purchased
spanning_statusServer status / health

Credentials

Copy .env.example and set the variables below. Leave CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET empty in the example. Never commit a real secret.

Local (env mode)
export SPANNING_PLATFORM="m365"        # or "gws" or "salesforce"

export SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL="..." export SPANNING_API_TOKEN="..."

The stdio transport reads those variables and does not use CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET.

HTTP transport

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is required when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. If it is empty or a known placeholder (changeme, change-me, secret, placeholder, example, replace-me, replace-with-a-real-secret, your-secret, your-s2s-secret, s2s-secret), the process logs an error and exits non-zero. The secret value is never logged. Generate one with openssl rand -hex 32.

MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 is local development only. It starts HTTP without CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET, logs a warning, does not check X-Gateway-S2S, and listens on 127.0.0.1 only. A non-loopback MCP_HTTP_HOST (including 0.0.0.0) is overridden to 127.0.0.1 and that override is logged. A known placeholder secret is still refused.

MCP_HTTP_HOST defaults to 127.0.0.1 when unset. A configured CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET honors MCP_HTTP_HOST. The container image sets MCP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 and AUTH_MODE=gateway.

X-Gateway-S2S

With a real CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET, every /mcp request must include X-Gateway-S2S. The check is verifyS2sHeader in src/s2s-verify.ts: the header value is t= ,v1= , where the hex is HMAC-SHA256 of the literal string t= keyed with CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET (64 lowercase hex characters). The timestamp must be within 300 seconds of the server clock. A missing or invalid header is HTTP 401, before vendor credentials are read.

TS=$(date +%s)

SIG=$(printf 't=%s' "$TS" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" -hex | awk '{print $NF}') curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -H "X-Gateway-S2S: t=${TS},v1=${SIG}" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Hosted (gateway mode)

AUTH_MODE=gateway (the Docker image and Compose default) requires all three headers on every /mcp request and does not fall back to SPANNING_* in the process environment:

  • X-Spanning-Platform (required, one of m365 | gws | salesforce)
  • X-Spanning-Admin-Email (required)
  • X-Spanning-API-Token (required, secret)

A request missing any of those headers is HTTP 401. Add them to the signed curl above. The gateway Compose service does not set SPANNING_PLATFORM, SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL, or SPANNING_API_TOKEN.

/health stays unauthenticated and does not read credentials.

Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env)

/mcp still requires a valid X-Gateway-S2S header. Vendor credentials come from SPANNING_PLATFORM, SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL, and SPANNING_API_TOKEN. Pass those on that process. Do not add them to the gateway Compose service.

VariableRequiredDescription
SPANNING_PLATFORMstdio and AUTH_MODE=envm365, gws, or salesforce
SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAILstdio and AUTH_MODE=envSpanning admin account email
SPANNING_API_TOKENstdio and AUTH_MODE=envSpanning API token
MCP_TRANSPORTNostdio (default) or http
AUTH_MODENogateway (Docker image and Compose) or env. Gateway mode requires the X-Spanning-* headers and never falls back to SPANNING_*.
CONDUIT_S2S_SECRETYes for HTTPService-to-service HMAC secret. HTTP logs an error and exits non-zero when this is empty or a known placeholder. Compose will not start without it. Never commit a real value.
MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEVNoSet to 1 only for local development to start HTTP without CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET. Logs a warning, skips X-Gateway-S2S, and binds 127.0.0.1 only.
MCP_HTTP_HOSTNoBind address when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to 127.0.0.1. Honored when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is set. The container image sets 0.0.0.0.
MCP_HTTP_PORTNoHTTP port. Defaults to 8080.

Run

npm install

npm run build npm start # stdio

HTTP refuses to start until CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is a real secret

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" MCP_TRANSPORT=http npm start

Local HTTP only, without a service-to-service secret (always binds 127.0.0.1)

MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm start

Docker

The image listens on 0.0.0.0 inside the container and defaults to AUTH_MODE=gateway. Publish the port on loopback and pass the S2S secret. In gateway mode, Spanning credentials arrive on each request as headers.

docker build --secret id=npmrc,src=$HOME/.npmrc -t spanning-mcp .

docker run --rm \ -e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ spanning-mcp

Compose refuses to start when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is unset, sets AUTH_MODE=gateway, publishes 127.0.0.1:8080:8080, and does not inject static Spanning credentials:

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" docker compose up --build

The image build needs a GitHub Packages npmrc (docker build --secret id=npmrc,src=$HOME/.npmrc). Single-tenant HTTP still requires the S2S secret, then uses SPANNING_*:

docker run --rm \

-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET \ -e AUTH_MODE=env \ -e SPANNING_PLATFORM=m365 \ -e SPANNING_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com \ -e SPANNING_API_TOKEN \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ spanning-mcp
