Unitrends Backup MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server exposing the Unitrends Backup API to Claude and other MCP clients.

What it does

Surface backup posture from your Unitrends appliances (or MSP Console) directly to AI assistants — list appliances and protected assets, monitor running and historical backup jobs, browse recovery points, queue restores and replication, and review open alarms and RPO compliance.

• Interactive Appliance Card (MCP Apps): unitrends_get_appliance renders as an 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
