Veeam Ports MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude structured access to Veeam product network port requirements. Query ports, generate topology diagrams, and produce firewall rule import files — all from natural language.

Backed by the Magic Ports API, covering 25+ Veeam products.

Installation

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veeam-ports": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["veeam-ports-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Requires uv — a single binary install. uvx downloads and runs the package automatically with no repo clone needed.

VS Code / Claude Code

claude mcp add veeam-ports -- uvx veeam-ports-mcp

Development Install

git clone https://github.com/shapedthought/veeam-ports-mcp.git

Available Tools

Tool	Description
list_products	List all Veeam products with port data
list_services	List available service roles for a product — call this before generate_topology or generate_app_import
get_product_ports	Get all port requirements for a product
get_product_subheadings	Get section headings for a product — use to find valid exclude_subsections values
search_ports	Free-text keyword search across all products
search_by_port_number	Find which products and services use a specific port
get_source_details	Source services with their section groupings
get_enriched_ports	Port data with LLM-parsed service metadata
generate_topology	Resolve firewall rules between named servers in your environment
generate_app_import	Generate a JSON import file for the Magic Ports frontend app

Topology & Import File Workflow

1. Call list_services to see available service roles for the product
2. Ask the user which servers they have and what roles each one serves
3. Call generate_topology or generate_app_import with the server definitions
4. Optionally exclude subsections (e.g. CDP Components) or specific ports with exclude_subsections / exclude_ports

User: "Generate firewall rules for my VBR v13 environment.
       I have a VBR server, two Linux proxies, a repo, and ESXi hosts behind vCenter."

Claude: [calls list_services → generate_app_import]
        "Import file saved: ~/Documents/veeam-ports-exports/magic-ports-vbr-v13-import.json"

Generated files are saved to ~/Documents/veeam-ports-exports/ by default.

Example Prompts

• "What ports does VBR v13 need?"
• "Which products use port 902 and why?"
• "Show me all ports the backup server uses to talk to ESXi hosts"
• "Generate firewall rules for my VBR environment — I have a VBR server, a Linux proxy, a repo server, and ESXi hosts managed by vCenter"
• "Create a Magic Ports import file for my VB365 deployment, excluding the proxy ports"
• "What ports does the Veeam ONE server need open?"

VEEAM_PORTS_API_BASE	https://magicports.veeambp.com/ports_server	API base URL
