MCP Server for Duplicacy — monitor backup status, progress, and health from Prometheus exporter via MCP
Documentation
Duplicacy-MCP
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.
What you get
| Type | What for | MCP URI / Tool id |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | Browse backup status, progress, and health read-only | `duplicacy://status``duplicacy://progress``duplicacy://health` |
| Tools | Query backup history, list snapshots, and check prune status | `get_backup_status``get_backup_history``list_snapshots``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-mcpOr install globally:
npm install -g duplicacy-mcp
duplicacy-mcpThis 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/serverConfiguration
| 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.
