<p align="center"><strong>A tiny bridge that reads Duplicacy backup metrics from a Prometheus exporter and exposes them as an MCP server, enabling LLMs to monitor backup status, progress, and health.</strong></p>

---

What you get

| Type | What for | MCP URI / Tool id | |---------------|------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------| | Resources | Browse backup status, progress, and health read-only | duplicacy://status<br>duplicacy://progress<br>duplicacy://health | | Tools | Query backup history, list snapshots, and check prune status | get_backup_status<br>get_backup_history<br>list_snapshots<br>get_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:0.1.0
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
    environment:
      - DUPLICACY_EXPORTER_URL=http://duplicacy-exporter:9750

Security note: The HTTP transport listens on 127.0.0.1:8080 by 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-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g duplicacy-mcp
duplicacy-mcp

This 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/server

Configuration

| Variable | Default | Description | |--------------------------|----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | DUPLICACY_EXPORTER_URL | http://localhost:9750 | Duplicacy Prometheus exporter URL (without trailing /)| | LISTEN_ADDR | 127.0.0.1:8080 | HTTP listen address (Docker sets 0.0.0.0:8080) | | TRANSPORT | _(empty = HTTP)_ | Set to stdio for stdio transport |

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.
