How do I use OpManager MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@OpManager MCP Server show me all critical alarms in the network" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

OpManager MCP Server

Python 3.10+ License: MIT Tests MCP SDK

A credential-less Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ManageEngine OpManager REST API integration. This server enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with your OpManager infrastructure through natural language.

✨ Key Features

🔐 Credential-less Design: No hardcoded API keys - users provide host and apiKey per request
🔄 SSL Auto-Detection: Port 8061 → HTTPS, Port 8060 → HTTP (with manual override)
📡 85+ API Endpoints: Full OpManager API coverage for devices, alarms, dashboards, discovery, and more
🛠 Dynamic Tool Generation: Automatically generates MCP tools from OpenAPI specification
🌐 Multiple Transports: Supports stdio (Claude Desktop) and HTTP/SSE (n8n, web clients)
🐳 Docker Ready: Containerized deployment with Docker and Docker Compose

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/sachdev27/opmanager-mcp-server.git cd opmanager-mcp-server # Create virtual environment python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate # Install the package pip install -e ".[http]"

Start the HTTP Server

uvicorn opmanager_mcp.http_server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000

Test a Tool Call

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/call \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "opmanager_get_allDevices", "arguments": { "host": "opmanager.example.com", "apiKey": "your-api-key-here", "port": 8061 } }'

📋 Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file (optional - for server defaults only):

cp .env.example .env

Variable	Description	Default
`MCP_SERVER_LOG_LEVEL`	Logging level	`INFO`
`ALLOWED_HTTP_METHODS`	Allowed HTTP methods for tools	`GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,PATCH`
`LOCAL_OPENAPI_SPEC_PATH`	Path to OpenAPI spec	bundled `openapi.json`

Note: OPMANAGER_HOST and OPMANAGER_API_KEY are NOT configured server-side. Users provide these per-request for security.

Getting Your OpManager API Key

Log in to OpManager web console
Navigate to Settings → REST API
Generate a new API key
Use this key in your tool calls

🔧 Tool Parameters

Every tool accepts these connection parameters:

Parameter	Required	Description
`host`	✅ Yes	OpManager server hostname
`apiKey`	✅ Yes	API key for authentication
`port`	No	Server port (default: 8060)
`use_ssl`	No	Force SSL (auto-detected from port)
`verify_ssl`	No	Verify SSL certificates (default: true)

SSL Auto-Detection

Port 8061: Automatically uses HTTPS
Port 8060: Automatically uses HTTP
Override with use_ssl: true/false if needed

🌐 HTTP API Endpoints

Endpoint	Method	Description
`/health`	GET	Health check with tool count
`/tools`	GET	List all available tools
`/sse`	GET	SSE connection for MCP
`/messages`	POST	MCP message handler
`/call`	POST	Direct tool invocation

Health Check

curl http://localhost:3000/health # {"status":"healthy","tool_count":60}

List Tools

curl http://localhost:3000/tools | jq '.tools[].name'

🤖 n8n Integration

Start the HTTP server on port 3000
In n8n, add an AI Agent node with MCP Client tool
Configure the MCP Client:
- SSE URL: http://localhost:3000/sse
- Messages URL: http://localhost:3000/messages

Example System Prompt for n8n

You are an IT operations assistant with access to OpManager for network monitoring. When using OpManager tools, always include: - host: "opmanager.company.com" - apiKey: "your-api-key" - port: 8061 (for HTTPS) Available operations: - List all devices: opmanager_get_allDevices - Get device details: opmanager_get_device (requires deviceName) - List alarms: opmanager_get_alarms - Acknowledge alarm: opmanager_add_alarmNotes

🖥 Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "opmanager": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "opmanager_mcp.main"], "cwd": "/path/to/opmanager-mcp-server", "env": { "LOCAL_OPENAPI_SPEC_PATH": "/path/to/opmanager-mcp-server/openapi.json" } } } }

Note: With Claude Desktop, you'll tell Claude your OpManager host and API key in conversation, and it will include them in tool calls.
