Veeam MCP Skill for OpenClaw

Query Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE using natural language through the Veeam Intelligence MCP server and OpenClaw.

Features

• 🔍 Natural Language Queries - Ask about backups in plain English
• 📊 Real-time Data - Live backup status, repository capacity, job history
• 🚨 Alert Monitoring - Check Veeam ONE alerts and infrastructure health
• 🤖 AI-Powered - Leverages Veeam Intelligence for smart analysis
• 🐳 Docker-based - Isolated, secure MCP server container
• 🔐 Secure - Credentials stored locally, never exposed

Example Queries

"What backup jobs failed last night?"
"Show me backup repository capacity"
"Which VMs haven't been backed up this week?"
"Check Veeam ONE alerts"
"What's my backup success rate?"
"Analyze backup performance trends"

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw installed
• Docker installed and running
• Veeam Backup & Replication or Veeam ONE with active license
• Veeam Intelligence enabled on your Veeam servers

Installation

# Install skill from ClawHub
clawhub install veeam-mcp

# Or clone manually
git clone https://github.com/JGM2025/veeam-mcp-skill.git ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/veeam-mcp

Setup Veeam MCP Server

The Veeam Intelligence MCP server is currently in beta.

To obtain access:

• Contact Veeam directly or your Veeam account representative
• Visit official Veeam community forums
• Check Veeam's official channels for beta program information

Once you have the MCP server package:

cd /path/to/veeam-mcp-server
docker build -t veeam-intelligence-mcp-server .

Configure Credentials

# Copy template
cp ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/veeam-mcp/credentials-template.json ~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json

# Edit with your details
nano ~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json

Example ~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json:

{
  "vbr": {
    "url": "https://veeam-server.local:443/",
    "username": ".\\administrator",
    "password": "your_password"
  },
  "vone": {
    "url": "https://veeam-one.local:1239/",
    "username": ".\\administrator",
    "password": "your_password"
  }
}

Lock it down:

chmod 600 ~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json

Test Connection

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/veeam-mcp
./scripts/test-connection.sh vbr
./scripts/test-connection.sh vone

Usage

From OpenClaw

Just ask naturally in any OpenClaw chat:

You: What backup jobs failed yesterday?
Clawd: Analyzing backup jobs... [returns detailed status]

You: Show me repository capacity
Clawd: Your repository has 1.2TB free of 2TB total (40% used)

Command Line

# Query Veeam B&R
./scripts/query-veeam.sh vbr "What backup jobs ran in the last 24 hours?"

# Query Veeam ONE
./scripts/query-veeam.sh vone "Show current infrastructure alerts"

# List available MCP tools
./scripts/list-tools.sh vbr

Enable Advanced Mode

For live data queries (not just documentation), enable Veeam Intelligence:

Veeam Backup & Replication

1. Open Veeam B&R console
2. Go to Options → Veeam Intelligence Settings
3. Enable the AI assistant

Veeam ONE

1. Open Veeam ONE console
2. Find Veeam Intelligence settings
3. Enable the feature

Without Veeam Intelligence enabled, queries will only return documentation (Basic Mode).

Configuration

Username Formats

• Local accounts: ".\\username"
• Domain accounts: "DOMAIN\\username" or "username@domain.com"
• Important: Use single backslash in JSON

Multiple Servers

Add additional Veeam servers to ~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json:

{
  "vbr": { ... },
  "vone": { ... },
  "vbr-site2": {
    "url": "https://veeam-dr.local:443/",
    "username": ".\\administrator",
    "password": "password"
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Connection Fails

Check Docker permissions:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

Verify credentials:

cat ~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json | jq .

Test Docker image:

docker run -i --rm veeam-intelligence-mcp-server

"Basic Mode" Warning

Enable Veeam Intelligence on your Veeam servers. Without it, only documentation queries work.

Invalid Username Format

The Veeam API requires specific formats:

• Try ".\\username" (local)
• Try "DOMAIN\\username" (domain)
• Ensure single backslash in JSON: ".\\" not ".\\\\"

Security

• ✅ Credentials stored locally only (~/.veeam-mcp-creds.json)
• ✅ Docker container runs as non-root user
• ✅ MCP communication via stdin/stdout (no network exposure)
• ✅ HTTPS with self-signed cert support
• ✅ No credentials in logs or command history
