Tactical RMM MCP

Tactical RMM + 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 Tactical RMM

API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by AmidaWare LLC.

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

Every Tactical RMM endpoint as a typed command, plus an offline SQLite mirror and cross-entity fleet queries the web UI can't express. 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

The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):

The ChatGPT desktop app runs tactical-rmm-mcp locally and shares MCP configuration with Codex (OpenAI). ChatGPT on the web needs a remote server, which msp-skills does not support 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.

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

Claude Desktop bundle: the .mcpb launches on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows x64 and Linux x64. Every tool shells out to the companion tactical-rmm-cli. Releases cut from 2026-09-18 on ship that CLI inside the bundle; older bundles contain only the MCP server, so if yours lacks the companion, run the Path A or Path B installer below first (or set TACTICAL_RMM_CLI_PATH to an existing binary). Details: #331.

Download Tactical RMM MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every Tactical RMM 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 tactical-rmm@msp-skills

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

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

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

macOS / Linux:

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

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

Verify:

tactical-rmm-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/tactical-rmm/install.sh)

Windows (PowerShell):

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

Inside a Hermes chat session:

/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/tactical-rmm --force

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

Install for OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):

Install the tactical-rmm skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/tactical-rmm. The skill defines how its required CLI (tactical-rmm-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

Tactical RMM is self-hosted, so point the CLI at your instance and give it an API key from Settings > Global Settings > API Keys:

TACTICAL_RMM_BASE_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com TRMM_API_KEY=<value> tactical-rmm-cli doctor

doctor confirms the base URL and credentials work before you run anything that touches data. It exits 0 even when the credential is rejected, so scripts should add --fail-on error.

What makes this different

Most Tactical RMM 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 "how many of my 40 clients have machines pending a reboot tonight, across every site" and the answer would page through every endpoint on your server.

This skill syncs Tactical RMM 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 health, triage, and clients scorecard join across agents, checks, alerts, and Windows-update state per client and site - work a stateless API wrapper can't do.

The pain this closes

Tactical RMM is the budget-friendly, self-hosted favorite on r/msp and in the MSPGeek community - you own the data and pay nothing per endpoint. The recurring gripe is reporting: the web UI shows you one agent or one client at a time, with no built-in fleet-wide view of health, patch posture, or "what changed overnight" across every client. Everything is in the API, but a cross-client rollup means scripting against it yourself - so the questions that matter at a Monday stand-up or a QBR go unanswered.

This skill closes that gap:

• `fleet health` - whole-fleet posture (online/offline/overdue, failing checks, pending reboots, outstanding patches, active alerts) in one command.
• `triage --limit 20` - the agents that need attention first, ranked across offline state, failing checks, reboots, and patches.
• `patch posture --by client` - pending Windows updates and reboots rolled up per client, or per site within its client, before patch night.
• `since "2h"` - what moved across the fleet since you last looked: new alerts, newly-offline agents.
• `agents bulk-run --command whoami --filter "os=windows,online=true"` - fan a command across a filtered cohort, previewed by default and run only with --execute.

See pain-point.md for the longer narrative.
