Add to Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):
First, ensure the container is running:
docker-compose up -dThen add to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fortimonitor": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["exec", "-i", "unofficial-fortimonitor-mcp", "python", "-m", "src.server"]
}
}
}{
"mcpServers": {
"fortimonitor": {
"command": "/path/to/unofficial-fortimonitor-mcp-server/.venv/bin/unofficial-fortimonitor-mcp",
"args": [],
"env": {
"FORTIMONITOR_API_KEY": "your_key",
"FORTIMONITOR_BASE_URL": "https://api2.panopta.com/v2",
"PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/unofficial-fortimonitor-mcp-server",
"ENABLE_SCHEMA_CACHE": "false"
}
}
}
}Note: Claude Desktop does not reliably set
cwd, so use the full path to the installed entrypoint script and setPYTHONPATHexplicitly. SetENABLE_SCHEMA_CACHE=falseto avoid[Errno 30] Read-only file systemerrors when the server cannot write to the defaultcache/directory. Alternatively, setSCHEMA_CACHE_DIRto an absolute writable path to keep caching enabled.
The server automatically discovers and caches FortiMonitor API schemas for validation and documentation. Schemas are cached in cache/schemas/ by default.
/schema/resources - Lists all available API resources
/schema/resources/{resource_name} - Get schema for specific resource
