What is modelcontextprotocol_veeam

modelcontextprotocol_veeam is an innovative server designed to integrate artificial intelligence with Veeam's data protection suite. Developed by jorgedlcruz, this server leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable AI systems to interact with Veeam's APIs. The goal is to democratize access to Veeam's powerful data management and protection capabilities, making them accessible through natural language. This allows IT administrators, DevOps engineers, and other professionals to interact with Veeam products via conversational AI, gain insights, and automate tasks effortlessly.

How to Use modelcontextprotocol_veeam

To use the modelcontextprotocol_veeam server, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning the repository to your local environment.
Install Dependencies: Navigate to the directory and install necessary dependencies using a package manager like npm.
Start the Server: Once set up, start the server using a command such as node vbr-mcp-server.js.
Connect to AI Assistants: Use any MCP-compatible client or AI assistant, such as Claude, to connect to the server. This enables the AI to access Veeam's APIs and perform tasks via natural language commands.

For those using Claude Desktop, configure your settings to ensure smooth operation with the MCP server, adding the necessary server details in your configuration file.

Key Features of modelcontextprotocol_veeam

Conversational AI Integration: Interact with Veeam products using simple, natural language queries. AI interfaces allow users to ask questions like "Show me all failed backup jobs from the last 24 hours" and receive real-time insights.
Real-time Monitoring and Management: Monitor Veeam Backup & Replication servers, jobs, repositories, and proxies efficiently. Receive proactive recommendations and insights for better data management.
Automated Troubleshooting: Leverage AI-assisted guidance to troubleshoot issues quickly, reducing downtime and improving system reliability.
Routine Task Automation: Automate mundane tasks with natural language commands, allowing IT teams to focus on more strategic initiatives.
Extensible Components: The server supports various Veeam products, with ongoing development to include Veeam ONE, Service Provider Console, Recovery Orchestrator, and Kasten K10, expanding its capabilities.
Interoperability and Security: Built on the Model Context Protocol, the server ensures seamless interoperability with AI systems while maintaining a secure separation between AI operations and infrastructure.

modelcontextprotocol_veeam empowers users to harness the full potential of AI and Veeam's data protection technologies, transforming how organizations manage, protect, and interact with their data ecosystems.

Vision

The Model Context Protocol for Veeam project aims to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and Veeam's robust data protection ecosystem. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), I am enabling AI assistants to directly interact with Veeam's feature-rich APIs, creating new possibilities for data management, monitoring, and protection. My goal is to democratize access to Veeam's powerful capabilities through natural language, allowing administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals to:

💬 Interact with Veeam products through conversational AI
🔍 Get instant insights into backup infrastructure
📊 Receive proactive recommendations and analysis
🛠️ Troubleshoot issues with AI-assisted guidance
🤖 Automate routine tasks through natural language commands

Components

Getting Started

Each MCP server has its own detailed installation and usage instructions. To get started with the Veeam Backup & Replication MCP server:

# Clone the repository
git clone 
cd modelcontextprotocol_veeam/veeam-backup-and-replication-mcp
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start the server, not required if you use Claude Desktop
node vbr-mcp-server.js

Connect to the server using any MCP-compatible client or AI assistant, such as Claude or compatible models that support function calling through the Model Context Protocol.

Claude Desktop Configuration

If you are using Claude Desktop, one of the most powerful MCP Client anyways, you surely have already the Developer Mode enabled, and all, please add the next configuiration to your claude_desktop_config.json

 "mcpServers": {
 "Veeam API": {
 "command": "node",
 "args": ["C:/yourpath/vbr-mcp-server.js"]

Use Cases

IT Administrators

"Show me all failed backup jobs from the last 24 hours"
"Is there any repository approaching capacity threshold?"
"What's our current license usage and when does it expire?"
"Which VMs had the largest backup size increase this week?"

DevOps Engineers

"Check if our production SQL Server was successfully backed up last night"
"Compare restore points available for the web application servers"
"Verify backup copies were successfully transferred to our DR site"

Service Providers (future)

"Which tenants have the highest backup growth rate this month?"
"Show me customers with backup jobs consistently failing"
"Generate a license consumption report for quarterly billing"

Roadmap

🚀 Milestone 1: Complete Veeam Backup & Replication MCP server with full feature coverage
🚀 Milestone 2: Release Veeam ONE MCP server
🚀 Milestone 3: Release VSPC MCP server
🚀 Milestone 4: Release VRO and K10 MCP servers
🚀 Ongoing: Enhance existing servers with additional capabilities and improved AI context

Contributing

I would truly welcome contributions from the community! Whether you're interested in adding support for new Veeam APIs, improving documentation, or enhancing the core functionality, please feel free to submit pull requests or open issues. See our contribution guidelines for more details.

Why MCP?

The Model Context Protocol provides a standardized way for AI systems to interact with external tools and data sources. By implementing MCP servers for Veeam products, we enable:

🔌 Interoperability: Works with any AI assistant that supports the protocol
🧩 Modularity: Each tool is self-contained and well-documented
🔒 Security: Clear separation between AI systems and your infrastructure
🚀 Extensibility: Easy to add new capabilities as Veeam APIs evolve
