Veeam Ports MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude structured access to Veeam product network port requirements. Query ports, generate topology diagrams, and produce firewall rule import files — all from natural language.

Backed by the Magic Ports API, covering 25+ Veeam products.

Installation

Available Tools

Topology & Import File Workflow

1. Call list_services to see available service roles for the product

2. Ask the user which servers they have and what roles each one serves

3. Call generate_topology or generate_app_import with the server definitions

4. Optionally exclude subsections (e.g. CDP Components) or specific ports with exclude_subsections / exclude_ports

User: "Generate firewall rules for my VBR v13 environment.
       I have a VBR server, two Linux proxies, a repo, and ESXi hosts behind vCenter."

Claude: [calls list_services → generate_app_import]
        "Import file saved: ~/Documents/veeam-ports-exports/magic-ports-vbr-v13-import.json"

Generated files are saved to ~/Documents/veeam-ports-exports/ by default.

Example Prompts

• "What ports does VBR v13 need?"

• "Which products use port 902 and why?"

• "Show me all ports the backup server uses to talk to ESXi hosts"

• "Generate firewall rules for my VBR environment — I have a VBR server, a Linux proxy, a repo server, and ESXi hosts managed by vCenter"

• "Create a Magic Ports import file for my VB365 deployment, excluding the proxy ports"

• "What ports does the Veeam ONE server need open?"
