ConnectWise Automate MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ConnectWise Automate with decision tree architecture for Claude.

One-Click Deployment

[!IMPORTANT] Before you click: this server depends on @wyre-ai/node-connectwise-automate, which is hosted on the GitHub Packages npm registry. GitHub Packages has no anonymous access — even though the package is public, every npm install needs a token. The cloud builder runs npm install for you, so you must give it one, or the build fails with npm error 401 Unauthorized ... npm.pkg.github.com.

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token with the read:packages scope (classic token). Any GitHub account works — you do not need to be a member of the WYRE-AI org to read its public packages.
2. Add it as a build variable when prompted by the deploy flow:
   • Cloudflare Workers → set a build variable named NODE_AUTH_TOKEN to your PAT (Workers → Settings → Build → Variables and Secrets).
   • DigitalOcean App Platform → set an encrypted env var named GITHUB_TOKEN with scope Build Time to your PAT (the .do/deploy.template.yaml already declares it).

[!NOTE] The DigitalOcean target builds the full Docker image and runs the complete MCP server over HTTP — this is the recommended path for operators. This repo has no Cloudflare Workers entrypoint (src/worker.ts), so the Workers button is not a supported target yet; prefer DigitalOcean or the prebuilt container image (ghcr.io/wyre-ai/connectwise-automate-mcp).

Features

• Decision Tree Architecture: Navigate between domains (computers, clients, alerts, scripts) to access relevant tools
• Lazy Loading: Client initialization and domain handlers are loaded on demand
• Comprehensive API Coverage: Manage computers, clients, alerts, and scripts
• Interactive Device Card (MCP Apps): cwautomate_computers_get renders as a read-only interactive card in MCP Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web); neutral by default, brandable via window.__BRAND__ injection or MCP_BRAND_* env vars; plain-JSON behavior is unchanged in other hosts

Installation

This package is published to the GitHub Packages npm registry, which requires a token even for public packages. Authenticate once, then install:

# Authenticate npm to GitHub Packages (token needs the read:packages scope)
export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)   # or a PAT with read:packages

npm install @wyre-ai/connectwise-automate-mcp

The repo's .npmrc already points the @wyre-ai scope at GitHub Packages and reads the token from NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, so no further config is needed.

Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

Authentication methods

The server supports both ConnectWise Automate authentication methods:

• integrator (default) – machine-to-machine integrator account. Recommended for automation. Does not use 2FA.
• user – interactive user login, which can supply a two-factor code.

You normally don't need to set CW_AUTOMATE_AUTH_METHOD: integrator auth is used by default, and user auth is selected automatically when CW_AUTOMATE_2FA_CODE is provided.

Usage

As an MCP Server

Add to your Claude configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connectwise-automate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@wyre-ai/connectwise-automate-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CW_AUTOMATE_SERVER_URL": "https://your-server.hostedrmm.com",
        "CW_AUTOMATE_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "CW_AUTOMATE_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "CW_AUTOMATE_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Navigation

The server uses a decision tree pattern. Start by navigating to a domain:

1. Use cwautomate_navigate to select a domain (computers, clients, alerts, scripts)
2. Domain-specific tools become available
3. Use cwautomate_back to return to the main menu
