The Aptly MCP Server enables AI assistants to manage Debian package repositories using Aptly through natural language commands, providing comprehensive control over package distribution.
Repository Management: Create, list, retrieve detailed information about, and delete local repositories with optional metadata like comments, components, and distributions.
Package Management: Add packages from uploaded files, list packages within repositories, and search for packages across all repositories.
File Upload Management: List uploaded files and delete uploaded files or directories from the server.
Snapshot Management: Create snapshots from repositories with optional descriptions and list existing snapshots.
Publishing: Publish repositories or snapshots to make them available for apt consumption.
Mirror Management: Create mirrors of remote repositories, update mirrors to fetch latest packages, list configured mirrors, and get detailed mirror information.
Health Check: Verify the operational status and accessibility of the underlying Aptly server.
Provides tools for managing Debian package repositories using Aptly, including creating repositories, adding packages, creating snapshots, publishing repositories, and managing mirrors of remote Debian repositories.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Debian package repositories using the Aptly package repository management tool.

To install aptly-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
For remote Aptly servers with authentication:
Once configured with Claude Desktop, you can use natural language commands:
"Create a new repository called 'production-packages' for production releases"
"List all repositories and show their package counts"
"Delete the 'test-repo' repository"
"Add all .deb files from the 'uploads' directory to the 'main' repository"
"Search for packages containing 'nginx' across all repositories"
"Remove the 'old-package' from the 'main' repository"
"Create a snapshot of the 'main' repository called 'v1.0-release'"
"List all snapshots and their creation dates"
"Create a merged snapshot from 'main' and 'contrib' repositories"
"Publish the 'main' repository to the 'stable' distribution"
"Update the published 'testing' repository with the latest snapshot"
"List all published repositories and their endpoints"
"Create a mirror of the Ubuntu main repository"
"Update all mirrors to get the latest packages"
"Show the status of the 'ubuntu-main' mirror"
The server connects to Aptly's REST API. Ensure your Aptly instance is running with API enabled:
Use Unix domain sockets instead of network ports in production
Implement proper authentication for remote Aptly servers
Consider using a reverse proxy with HTTPS for production deployments
Validate all inputs to prevent injection attacks
