Connectwise Manage MCP Server

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) 34 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

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
