# Manage backups and storage via MCP (Claude, Cursor)

Connect an AI assistant to Linuxteknosia Cloud through the MCP server (Streamable HTTP, API token): view status, run backups, read logs, restore with confirmation.

Linuxteknosia Cloud provides an MCP server at `https://linuxteknosia.cloud/mcp`. AI assistants such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor can view server and job status, run backups, read logs, perform restores (with confirmation), and monitor storage usage, scoped to your organisation.

## 1\. Create an API token

Dashboard → **Settings → MCP server & API tokens → Create token**. The token starts with `lt_`, is shown only once, and can be revoked at any time.

## 2\. Add it to Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http linuxteknosia https://linuxteknosia.cloud/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer lt_..."
```

## 3\. Or Cursor / Windsurf

Save as `.cursor/mcp.json`.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "linuxteknosia": { "url": "https://linuxteknosia.cloud/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lt_..." } } } }
```

## 4\. Or Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote)

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "linuxteknosia": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://linuxteknosia.cloud/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer lt_..."] } } }
```

## 5\. Example requests

"Check last night's backup status and run the production backup job now." Available tools: `account_overview`, `list_servers`, `list_jobs`, `run_backup`, `list_runs`, `get_run`, `restore_run` (confirmation required), `get_command`, `list_alerts`, `storage_overview`, `create_bucket`, `pricing_estimate`, and more. Creating S3 access keys is deliberately not exposed so that secrets never pass through the AI assistant. The same token works for the public REST API (see the [API reference](/docs/api)).
