Integrates with a Prometheus exporter to monitor Duplicacy backup metrics, enabling the tracking of backup status, progress, health, history, and snapshot lists.
What you get
Type | What for | MCP URI / Tool id |
Resources | Browse backup status, progress, and health read-only |
|
Tools | Query backup history, list snapshots, and check prune status |
|
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:latest
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
environment:
- DUPLICACY_EXPORTER_URL=http://duplicacy-exporter:9750Security note: The HTTP transport listens on
127.0.0.1:8080by 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-mcpOr install globally:
npm install -g duplicacy-mcp
duplicacy-mcpThis 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/serverConfiguration
Variable | Default | Description |
|
| Duplicacy Prometheus exporter URL (without trailing /) |
|
| HTTP listen address (Docker sets |
| (empty = HTTP) | Set to |
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.
