NinjaOne MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with NinjaOne, featuring a decision tree architecture for efficient tool loading.

One-Click Deployment

Architecture

This MCP server uses a hierarchical tool loading approach instead of exposing all tools upfront:

1. Navigation Phase: Initially exposes only a navigation tool (ninjaone_navigate)
2. Domain Selection: User selects a domain (devices, organizations, alerts, tickets)
3. Domain Tools: Server exposes domain-specific tools after selection
4. Lazy Loading: Domain handlers and the NinjaOne client are loaded on-demand

This architecture provides:

• Reduced cognitive load (fewer tools to choose from)
• Faster initial load times
• Better organization of related operations
• Clear navigation state

Installation

This package is published to the GitHub Packages npm registry, which requires a token even for public packages. Authenticate once, then install:

# Authenticate npm to GitHub Packages (token needs the read:packages scope)
export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)   # or a PAT with read:packages

npm install @wyre-ai/ninjaone-mcp

The repo's .npmrc already points the @wyre-ai scope at GitHub Packages and reads the token from NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, so no further config is needed. The same applies to npx @wyre-ai/ninjaone-mcp below. Prefer a zero-setup option? Use the prebuilt container image (ghcr.io/wyre-ai/ninjaone-mcp) or the .mcpb bundle attached to each release.

Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

NinjaOne API Regions

Available Domains

Devices

Manage endpoints, reboot devices, view services and alerts.

Tools:

• ninjaone_devices_list - List devices, filterable by organization, device class, and online status. Paginated: a full page returns hasMore: true and a cursor to pass back for the next page.
• ninjaone_devices_get - Get device details
• ninjaone_devices_reboot - Schedule a device reboot
• ninjaone_devices_services - List Windows services on a device
• ninjaone_devices_alerts - Get device-specific alerts
• ninjaone_devices_activities - View device activity log
• ninjaone_devices_get_custom_fields - Get device custom fields
• ninjaone_devices_update_custom_fields - Update device custom fields

Organizations

Manage customer organizations and their resources.

Tools:

• ninjaone_organizations_list - List organizations
• ninjaone_organizations_get - Get organization details
• ninjaone_organizations_create - Create a new organization
• ninjaone_organizations_locations - List organization locations
• ninjaone_organizations_devices - List devices for an organization
• ninjaone_organizations_get_custom_fields - Get organization custom fields
• ninjaone_organizations_update_custom_fields - Update organization custom fields

Alerts

View and manage alerts across all devices.

Tools:

• ninjaone_alerts_list - List alerts with filters
• ninjaone_alerts_get - Get a single alert by UID (renders as an interactive card in MCP Apps hosts)
• ninjaone_alerts_reset - Reset/dismiss a single alert
• ninjaone_alerts_reset_all - Reset all alerts for a device or organization
• ninjaone_alerts_summary - Get alert count summary

Features:

• Interactive Alert Card (MCP Apps, SEP-1865): ninjaone_alerts_get renders as an interactive card in MCP Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web) with an in-card "Reset alert" round-trip via ninjaone_alerts_reset; neutral by default, brandable via window.__BRAND__ injection or MCP_BRAND_* env vars; plain-JSON behavior is unchanged in other hosts

Tickets

Manage service tickets.

Tools:

• ninjaone_tickets_list - List tickets from a board (requires board_id; status/organization_id/device_id filters are applied client-side, see notes below)
• ninjaone_tickets_get - Get ticket details
• ninjaone_tickets_create - Create a new ticket
• ninjaone_tickets_update - Update an existing ticket
• ninjaone_tickets_add_comment - Add a comment to a ticket
• ninjaone_tickets_comments - Get ticket comments
• ninjaone_tickets_boards_list - List ticket boards (to discover board_id values)

Note: NinjaOne queries tickets per board, and board IDs vary by tenant — board 1 is not always the "All Tickets" board, so ninjaone_tickets_list requires an explicit board_id rather than silently guessing one. Discover IDs with ninjaone_tickets_boards_list; on tenants where that endpoint returns 404, read the numeric ID from the board link's URL in the NinjaOne web UI (e.g. the "All tickets" sidebar link).

Note: NinjaOne's board-run API cannot filter tickets by status, organization, or device server-side (attempting to throws a generic Bad request). ninjaone_tickets_list therefore applies those filters client-side within one board page. The response separates count (matches in this page) from scanned (tickets examined) and includes hasMore/cursor — page through until hasMore is false to get every match, and never treat a single page's count as a board-wide total. Status is matched against each ticket's status display name, so custom board statuses may not map to the OPEN/IN_PROGRESS/WAITING/CLOSED values.

Similarly, ninjaone_devices_list filters by organization_id through NinjaOne's dedicated per-organization endpoint (the general df=org device filter is unreliable and can silently return the full fleet).

Navigation Tools

Always available:

• ninjaone_navigate - Select a domain to work with
• ninjaone_status - Show current state and credential status
• ninjaone_back - Return to main menu (when in a domain)

Example Workflow

User: Check my devices
Claude: [calls ninjaone_navigate with domain="devices"]
       -> Navigated to devices domain. Available tools: ...

User: List all Windows servers
Claude: [calls ninjaone_devices_list with device_class="WINDOWS_SERVER"]
       -> [device list results]

User: Now show me alerts
Claude: [calls ninjaone_back]
       -> Navigated back to main menu.
       [calls ninjaone_navigate with domain="alerts"]
       -> Navigated to alerts domain.

Authentication

NinjaOne uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. You need to:

1. Log in to your NinjaOne dashboard
2. Go to Administration > Apps > API
3. Create a new API application (application platform: API Services, grant type Client Credentials)
4. Grant it the scopes you need — see below
5. Note the Client ID and Client Secret
6. Configure the environment variables

The client library handles token refresh automatically.

OAuth scopes

By default the server requests monitoring management. Which scopes you actually need depends on what you use:

If your API app is granted fewer scopes than the default, set NINJAONE_SCOPES to match. NinjaOne rejects a token request that asks for a scope the app was never granted — it returns 400 invalid_scope rather than narrowing the grant — so the failure happens at the token exchange and every tool call fails, including reads. For a monitoring-only app:

export NINJAONE_SCOPES="monitoring"

Values may be comma- or space-separated and are case-insensitive. In gateway deployments the same value can be supplied per request via the X-Ninja-Scopes header.
