Duplicacy-MCP

A tiny bridge that reads Duplicacy backup metrics from a Prometheus exporter and exposes them as an MCP server, enabling LLMs to monitor backup status, progress, and health.

What you get

Everything is exposed over a single JSON-RPC endpoint (/mcp). LLMs / Agents can: initialize -> readResource -> listTools -> callTool ... and so on.

Quick-start (Docker Compose)

services:
  duplicacy-mcp:
    image: drumsergio/duplicacy-mcp:0.1.0
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
    environment:
      - DUPLICACY_EXPORTER_URL=http://duplicacy-exporter:9750

Security note: The HTTP transport listens on 127.0.0.1:8080 by default. If you need to expose it on a network, place it behind a reverse proxy with authentication.

Install via npm (stdio transport)

npx duplicacy-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g duplicacy-mcp
duplicacy-mcp

This downloads the pre-built Go binary from GitHub Releases for your platform and runs it with stdio transport. Requires at least one published release.

Local build

git clone https://github.com/GeiserX/duplicacy-mcp
cd duplicacy-mcp

# (optional) create .env from the sample
cp .env.example .env && $EDITOR .env

go run ./cmd/server

Configuration

Put them in a .env file (from .env.example) or set them in the environment.

Testing

Tested with Inspector and it is currently fully working. Before making a PR, make sure this MCP server behaves well via this medium.
