## What it does

Backup Radar MCP gives an agent access to every Backup Radar v2 and v3 endpoint. Its local store helps surface backups that have no one watching them. The package includes `backup-radar-cli` and `backup-radar-mcp`; Claude Code finds the skill through `SKILL.md`.

You can install it with a script for macOS, Linux, WSL, Bash, or Windows PowerShell. Authentication is required before use, and the CLI can be checked with `backup-radar-cli --version`. Claude Code also supports installing the plugin from its marketplace.

Use the stdio transport. The HTTP mode in this build checks a token but has no request-size or execution-time limits, so it should not be used, including on localhost.

## Requirements
- Environment variables: `BACKUP_RADAR_API_KEY`, `BACKUP_RADAR_V2_API_KEY`, `BACKUP_RADAR_BASE_URL`, `BACKUP_RADAR_MCP_READ_ONLY`, `BACKUP_RADAR_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN`, `BACKUP_RADAR_USER_AGENT`, `PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
