Domotz + AI - for ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, and any agent that speaks MCP
Unofficial. Community-built Claude Code Skill and MCP server for the Domotz
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Domotz Inc.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
Every Domotz endpoint, plus a local SQLite fleet mirror that answers cross-site questions. Works with the AI you already use - ChatGPT (Plus/Pro+), Claude Desktop, Codex, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and GitHub Copilot - plus Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio and Google Gemini via the remote path. Free, open source, runs on your laptop. Built for MSP owners. No code required.
Works with your agent
The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):
| Your AI agent | How to install the Domotz skill |
|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register domotz-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (paid plans) | Run installer, expose domotz-mcp over HTTPS, register as a Developer Mode connector. |
| Codex CLI | Paste the install prompt below. |
| Claude Code | Paste the install prompt below. |
| Claude Cowork | Paste the install prompt below. |
| GitHub Copilot (VS Code) | Run installer, add domotz-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
For ChatGPT, run domotz-mcp --transport http and expose that behind HTTPS - no bridge package is needed. See mcp-install.md.
Also for the Microsoft and Google stacks
Big install base, but an honest heads-up: these are the remote / enterprise path, not the local binary you just installed.
| Agent | What it takes |
|---|
| Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio | Not self-serve. Host domotz-mcp over HTTPS, then wire it into Copilot Studio (Tools > Add a tool > Model Context Protocol > Server URL) or a declarative agent. Needs a Copilot Studio license + tenant admin. See mcp-install.md. |
| Google Gemini | Gemini CLI is local - same as Claude Code. The Gemini app is remote - same HTTPS path as ChatGPT. See mcp-install.md. |
Skill-native agents (also covered): Hermes and OpenClaw read this skill's SKILL.md directly and speak MCP - see their install sections below. Also works with Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue.dev, and Zed via MCP. Full per-tool wire-up: docs/which-agent.md.
Run more than one agent? Install across all 51+ supported agents in one command: npx skills add Servosity/msp-skills@latest (requires Node.js, then run the per-skill installer for the CLI/MCP binaries). See docs/which-agent.md.
Install in 60 seconds
Fastest for Claude Desktop - one-click .mcpb
Interim note on .mcpb: check the bundle before you trust it (#287). Its manifest.json launches ${__dirname}/bin/domotz-mcp, while the builder stores the release binaries in bin/ under their platform-suffixed names - domotz-mcp-darwin-arm64, -darwin-amd64, -linux-arm64, -linux-amd64, -windows-amd64.exe. Run unzip -l <file>.mcpb | grep bin/: if the name the manifest launches is not among them, Claude Desktop has nothing to run - use Path A or Path B below and wire Claude Desktop up through mcp-install.md.
Download Domotz MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every Domotz release on the releases page.)
Prefer the Claude Code plugin? Add the marketplace once, then install - works immediately, no directory listing required:
/plugin marketplace add Servosity/msp-skills
/plugin install domotz@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the Domotz Skill and MCP server from Servosity/msp-skills in this agent workspace. If this workspace uses a POSIX shell (macOS, Linux, WSL, or Bash), run bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/domotz/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, run iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/domotz/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and run domotz-cli --help to explore.
The same prompt works in any agent that can run shell.
Path B - run the installer yourself
Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/domotz/install.ps1 | iex
macOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/domotz/install.sh)
The installer drops both domotz-cli (the CLI) and domotz-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
Upgrade to the latest version
The installer always fetches the current release - re-run it to upgrade:
macOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/domotz/install.sh)
Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/domotz/install.ps1 | iex
Claude Desktop .mcpb users: download the latest .mcpb (top of this section) and re-select it in Settings > Extensions. Claude Code plugin users: /plugin update domotz@msp-skills.
Add to Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or another MCP client
After the installer runs, see mcp-install.md and docs/which-agent.md for the per-agent wire-up - one section per agent, including the GitHub Copilot servers key and the remote Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio path. Claude Desktop's Settings > Extensions panel is the simplest path; the MCP config block (for users who prefer editing JSON) is documented in mcp-install.md.
Install for Hermes
From the Hermes CLI:
hermes skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/domotz --force
Inside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/domotz --force
Hermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the domotz-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the domotz skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/domotz. The skill defines how its required CLI (domotz-cli) can be installed via the openclaw: frontmatter block.
OpenClaw isn't generally available yet; the frontmatter wiring is pre-shipped and will activate the moment OpenClaw launches.
Authenticate
Set the credentials the CLI needs (from your Domotz portal):
DOMOTZ_API_KEY=<value> DOMOTZ_PUBLIC_API_KEY=<value> DOMOTZ_REGION=<value> domotz-cli doctor
doctor confirms the credentials work before you run anything that touches data. It exits 0 even when the credential is rejected, so scripts should add --fail-on error.
What this skill does
| Question your MSP keeps asking | Command |
|---|
| Is anything on fire across all my sites? | domotz-cli fleet health --agent |
| Which Collectors (sites) are offline or degraded right now? | domotz-cli fleet agents --agent |
| What devices are offline across every client? | domotz-cli fleet offline --agent |
| What new devices appeared on any network in the last day? | domotz-cli fleet new --since 24h --agent |
| Give me one asset inventory across every site | domotz-cli fleet inventory --csv |
| Where are IP conflicts across the fleet? | domotz-cli fleet ip-conflicts --agent |
| Which devices can't be fully monitored (auth/SNMP gaps)? | domotz-cli fleet unmonitored --agent |
| How many devices of each vendor do we manage? | domotz-cli fleet breakdown --by vendor --agent |

What makes this different
Most Domotz integrations and MCP servers proxy each question into a live, agent-scoped API call. That's fine for one device. It dies at scale, when you're asking "which of my 40 client sites has a device offline right now?" or "give me one asset inventory across every Collector for the QBR."
This skill syncs Domotz into a local SQLite mirror with full-text search. Aggregate questions become one local query: instant, offline, and the AI sees the answer, not raw pages of JSON. Compound commands like fleet health, fleet inventory, and fleet new roll up across every Collector, device, and site at once - work a stateless API wrapper can't do in one call.
The pain this closes
Network-monitoring threads on r/msp keep surfacing the same gap with per-site tools: visibility is organized one Collector at a time, but the questions you actually ask are fleet-wide. "Which client has something down?" "What appeared on a network overnight?" "Give me one asset list for the QBR." In the portal each of those means clicking through every site by hand or exporting per-site and merging spreadsheets - the data is all there, it just doesn't roll up across clients in a single view.
This skill closes that gap:
fleet health - one status board across every site, so "is anything on fire?" is a single glance.fleet offline - every offline device across all sites, prioritized, instead of paginating each agent.fleet new --since 24h - a rogue-device sweep across all clients at once.fleet inventory --csv - the QBR/CMDB export for the whole fleet in one line.fleet unmonitored - auth/SNMP coverage gaps surfaced fleet-wide, so blind spots don't go silent.
See pain-point.md for the longer narrative.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work with ChatGPT?
Yes, on Plus, Pro, Team, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans (Free tier does not yet expose Developer Mode). ChatGPT connects to remote MCP servers over HTTPS, not local stdio binaries. The Domotz MCP server runs locally, but it speaks HTTP natively: start it with domotz-mcp --transport http --addr :7777 and put it behind an HTTPS tunnel or your own reverse proxy. No bridge package is involved. Step-by-step in mcp-install.md.
Does this work with Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, or Gemini?
Yes - all of them speak MCP. Cross-tool install commands are in the matrix above and the deep-dive in docs/which-agent.md.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The recommended install is to paste one sentence into Claude Code or Codex - your agent reads SKILL.md and does the install. The fallback is a one-line installer per OS (bash or PowerShell). Neither path requires writing code. You'll enter your Domotz credentials once.
Is my Domotz data safe?
Your data stays on your machine. The CLI and MCP server are local binaries. The SQLite mirror sits in a directory under your user account. The AI agent only sees what the CLI returns - typically a query result, not raw bulk data. Credentials are read from your environment or your agent's config; never bundled into this repo or transmitted anywhere by MSP Skills.
Do I need a special Domotz plan to use the API?
No add-on is required. You generate an API Key from the Domotz Portal under Settings > Services > API Keys on your existing account. A handful of endpoints (company areas, team moves, some RBAC) are Enterprise-plan only; everything else works on standard accounts, and the CLI returns a clear error when a plan gates an endpoint.
Will this replace my Domotz portal?
No. The portal and mobile app are built for working one site at a time and remain the place for live device interaction. This skill adds the fleet-wide rollups no single portal view does - across every Collector, from the terminal, scriptable and agent-ready.
Will this hit my Domotz API rate limits?
Cross-site questions read from the local SQLite mirror, not the live API, so a fleet inventory across 40 sites is one local query, not 40 API calls. The API is only touched on sync, on live commands, and where you explicitly pass --data-source live. A global --rate-limit flag caps request rate when you do go live.
What does it cost?
Free. Apache-2.0 licensed. You pay only for whichever AI agent you use (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, etc.), and that's billed by your AI provider, not by us.
Safety model
| Tier | Examples | Recommended agent policy |
|---|
| Read | fleet health, fleet offline, fleet inventory, agent device list, search, topology, export | Allow |
| Write (routine) | agent device create-eye-snmp, agent device edit, custom-tag create, alert-profile binding bind-alert-profile-to-device, device-profile apply, import | Preview with --dry-run, then a reviewed write |
| Physical / device control | agent device power-action-on, agent device trigger-outlet-action, agent device backup-configuration, agent connection create-agent-vpnconnection | Human-in-the-loop; never unattended |
| Credential / security | agent device set-credentials, agent device set-snmpauthentication, agent device get-snmpauthentication (returns SNMP secrets), rbac create-user | Human-in-the-loop only |
| Destructive | agent delete, agent device delete, inventory delete, rbac delete-user | Human-in-the-loop only, explicit confirmation |
The strongest control is the scope you grant the Domotz credentials - the CLI can only do what the credentials are permitted to do. Full details, including how to lock it down, are in governance.md.
