What is the Backup MCP server?

Backup MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Backup directly instead of describing what you should do. Backup Ai automation via MCP. Includes create backup plan, verify backup, list backups. By M...

What you get

File backup scheduler MCP — incremental backups, verification, retention policies, cross-cloud replication. MIT.

What the assistant can call

Once Backup is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Well — documented API
  • Production-ready — Active maintenance
  • Pro — ** $99/mo — Full MCP suite + EU AI Act tracking
  • Enterprise — ** $499/mo — Custom dev + SLA + Dedicated support
  • Domain — Purpose
  • Tier — Price

Setting it up

The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Choosing this one

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Backup's toolset — Well, Production-ready, Pro and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by CSOAI-ORG; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Backup's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the backup mcp server does with a few real requests.
