## What it does

The server exposes N-central REST API access alongside an offline SQLite copy of the organization tree. An agent can search across tenants, produce issue-triage rollups, and check whether a JWT is nearing expiry.

The package includes `n-central-cli`, `n-central-mcp`, and `SKILL.md`. The Claude Code marketplace install adds the plugin directly, while the shell installers place the CLI and MCP server in the user bin path on macOS, Linux, or Windows PowerShell.

Use the default stdio transport. Do not put this server behind `supergateway` or another stdio-to-HTTP bridge, because the bridge adds no password and can expose the MCP tools with your credentials.

## Requirements
- Environment variables: `NCENTRAL_JWT`, `N_CENTRAL_BASE_URL`, `N_CENTRAL_NO_CONFIG_WRITE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Install**
- The MCP registry has no launch command for it: see the repository README

## When to use it
- query N-central through its REST API
- search organizations across tenants
- summarize issues for triage
- inspect an offline organization-tree mirror
- check JWT expiration

## Example prompts
- Search every N-central tenant for devices linked to this organization.
- Build an issue-triage summary from the offline SQLite organization mirror.
- Check the JWT expiry and list the N-central API data available to this agent.
