ConnectWise Manage MCP Server

Let your AI assistant work directly with ConnectWise Manage. Search tickets, log time, look up companies and contacts, manage projects — through natural conversation instead of clicking through the CWM interface.

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) 51 tools covering the daily operations ConnectWise Manage shops depend on. Works with both cloud-hosted and self-hosted CWM instances — just point it at your server.

Part of the MSP Claude Plugins ecosystem — a growing suite of AI integrations for the MSP stack including Autotask, Datto RMM, IT Glue, HaloPSA, NinjaOne, Huntress, and more. Built by MSPs, for MSPs.

One-Click Deployment

Note on registry auth: This server depends only on public npm packages, so the Cloudflare and DigitalOcean cloud builders install its dependencies anonymously — no token is required for one-click deploy. (If a future release adds a private @wyre-technology/* dependency, you would supply a GitHub PAT with read:packages as a build variable — NODE_AUTH_TOKEN for Cloudflare Workers, a build-time GITHUB_TOKEN secret for DigitalOcean.)

Installing the published package: The released package is published to the GitHub Packages npm registry, which requires authentication on every install (even for public packages). To install it, authenticate npm to npm.pkg.github.com with a GitHub PAT that has read:packages:

export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)
npm install @wyre-technology/connectwise-manage-mcp

For deploying to Azure Container Apps with Entra ID OAuth 2.1, see AZURE_ACA_DEPLOYMENT.md.

Configuration

Environment Variables

API Base URL (CW_MANAGE_URL)

For self-hosted instances, set CW_MANAGE_URL to your server's base URL. The server automatically appends /v4_6_release/apis/3.0 unless the URL already contains that path.

If your self-hosted instance uses a self-signed certificate, also set CW_MANAGE_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false.

Getting Your API Keys

1. Log in to your ConnectWise Manage instance
2. Navigate to System > Members > API Members
3. Create a new API member with appropriate permissions
4. Generate API keys for the member
5. Get your Client ID from the ConnectWise Developer Portal

Available Tools

Interactive Ticket Card (MCP Apps)

cw_get_ticket renders as an interactive card in MCP Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web) with an in-card "Add note" round-trip via cw_add_ticket_note that always posts internal-only (internalAnalysisFlag) notes; plain-JSON behavior is unchanged in other hosts. The card is neutral by default and brandable via window.__BRAND__ injection or MCP_BRAND_* env vars (MCP_BRAND_NAME, MCP_BRAND_LOGO_URL, MCP_BRAND_PRIMARY_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_ACCENT_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_BG, MCP_BRAND_TEXT) — no rebuild needed.
