About Backup Radar MCP

Backup Radar MCP is an MCP server published by the GitHub account Servosity. Every Backup Radar v3 and v2 endpoint plus a local store that finds the backups nobody is watching.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package backup-radar-mcp.mcpb at version 0.1.2.

It asks for 4 secrets: BACKUP_RADAR_API_KEY, BACKUP_RADAR_V2_API_KEY, BACKUP_RADAR_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN and PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

Version 0.1.2 was published on 23 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 4 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.

What it asks for

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
`BACKUP_RADAR_API_KEY`	No	Yes	Optional. ScalePad API key for the v3 commands (health, devices, backups ingest, backups retire, push) and the check, unwatched, scorecard, timeline and stale answers that depend on them. Create one in ScalePad: API tab, New API key (requires an active Administrator user). https://developer.scalepad.com/docs/getting-started
`BACKUP_RADAR_V2_API_KEY`	No	Yes	Optional. Backup Radar API key for the read-only v2 commands (backups list, get, results, filters, inactive, retired, overview). Set it if you use the Backup Radar API v2; either key alone powers its own commands.
`BACKUP_RADAR_BASE_URL`	No	No	Optional. The ScalePad Backup Radar v3 API root. Leave blank for the US default https://api.scalepad.com/backup-radar/v3; set https://eu.api.scalepad.com/backup-radar/v3 for EU data residency. The v2 API always uses https://api.backupradar.com.
`BACKUP_RADAR_MCP_READ_ONLY`	No	No	Optional. Set to 1, true or yes to hide the backups_ingest and backups_retire tools and the sync, export, learnings_forget, learnings_reject and workflow_archive mirrors. Read tools still write local state: the response cache and learning entries.
`BACKUP_RADAR_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN`	No	Yes	Required only when running the MCP server with --transport http (a remote/hosted deployment); callers must send a matching Authorization: Bearer header. Leave blank for Claude Desktop.
`BACKUP_RADAR_USER_AGENT`	No	No	Optional. Overrides the User-Agent the CLI sends to ScalePad and Backup Radar. Leave blank to use the built-in one.
`PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE`	No	Yes	Only used when the MCP server is bound to a tenant-gated client profile. This connector registers no tenant-gated source, so leave it blank.
