# SafeGrd

SafeGrd lets an agent inspect backups and Fire Drills, then request a backup or a drill. Use it to check backup records or ask for a restore test.

## What it does

The MCP server gives an agent access to backup and Fire Drill information. It can also receive requests to create a backup or run a drill. Its tools cannot delete backups.

SafeGrd’s CLI and daemon back up databases and other data sources. Backups are compressed, encrypted on the source host, and sent to S3-compatible storage with Object Lock. A Fire Drill restores the newest backup to a temporary database or directory and checks the result. Claude Code can connect to the hosted server over HTTP, or run the container locally with Docker. The hosted server receives backup records and signed restore-test results; backup data does not pass through it.
