How do I use Desktop Management 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., "@Desktop Management MCP Server find device by serial ABC123" 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.

Desktop Management MCP Server

Standalone Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for JAMF Pro and Microsoft Intune. AI assistants (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, etc.) connect over HTTP and call device-management tools.

Architecture

MCP Client  ──HTTP──▶  jamf-server (port 3001)  ──▶  JAMF Pro REST API
MCP Client  ──HTTP──▶  intune-server (port 3002) ──▶  Microsoft Graph API

Each server is a stateless Express app using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. Every POST to /mcp creates a fresh StreamableHTTPServerTransport. Secrets are injected at runtime by Bitwarden Secrets Manager — no credentials are stored in the repo.

Related MCP server: domotz-mcp

Prerequisites

Node.js 24+
BWS CLI (bws in PATH)
A Bitwarden Secrets Manager project with the secrets listed in bws-secrets.map
JAMF Pro API client credentials (OAuth2)
Azure AD app registration with Microsoft Graph permissions (for Intune)

Quick Start

# Install dependencies and build
npm install && npm run build

# Set your BWS machine account access token
export BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN="<your-token>"

# Start whichever server(s) you need
./start-jamf.sh    # JAMF MCP on http://localhost:3001/mcp
./start-intune.sh  # Intune MCP on http://localhost:3002/mcp

See bws-secrets.map for the secret names to create in your BWS project.

Environment Variables

Injected by bws run from your BWS project (see bws-secrets.map):

JAMF Pro:

JAMF_URL — e.g. https://yourorg.jamfcloud.com
JAMF_CLIENT_ID, JAMF_CLIENT_SECRET

Microsoft Intune:

AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

Azure AD Graph Permissions

The Intune app registration needs these Application permissions (with admin consent):

Device.Read.All
DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All
DeviceManagementApps.Read.All
DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All
Group.Read.All
User.Read.All

Client Configuration

    },
    "intune": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3002/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI (`~/.gemini/settings.json`)

    "jamf": { "httpUrl": "http://localhost:3001/mcp" },
    "intune": { "httpUrl": "http://localhost:3002/mcp" }
  }
}

OpenCode (`~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`)

{
  "mcp": {
    "jamf":   { "type": "remote", "url": "http://localhost:3001/mcp", "enabled": true },

Running Tests

Tests are live integration tests against a real JAMF Pro instance:

export BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN="<your-token>"
bws run --access-token "$BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN" -- \
  TEST_COMPUTER_NAME="<name>" \
  TEST_COMPUTER_SERIAL="<serial>" \
  TEST_USER_EMAIL="<email>" \
  npm test

Add JAMF_TEST_WRITE=1 to enable destructive write tests (MDM commands, inventory updates).
