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
[!IMPORTANT]Before you click: this server depends on
@wyre-technology/node-ninjaone,which is hosted on the GitHub Packages npm registry. GitHub Packages has noanonymous access — even though the package is public, everynpm installneeds atoken. The cloud builder runsnpm installfor you, so you must give it one, orthe build fails withnpm error 401 Unauthorized ... npm.pkg.github.com.
- Create a GitHub Personal Access Token with the
read:packagesscope(classic token).Any GitHub account works — you do not need to be a member of thewyre-technologyorg to read its public packages.- Add it as a build variable when prompted by the deploy flow:
- Cloudflare Workers → set a build variable named
NODE_AUTH_TOKENto your PAT(Workers → Settings → Build → Variables and Secrets).- DigitalOcean App Platform → set an encrypted env var named
GITHUB_TOKENwith scope Build Time to your PAT (the.do/app.yamlalready declares it).
[!NOTE]Both targets run the full MCP server. DigitalOcean builds the Docker image andserves it over HTTP; Cloudflare Workers serves the same server via the SDK's WebStandard Streamable HTTP transport (
src/worker.ts). After deploying, set yourNinjaOne credentials as secrets —NINJAONE_CLIENT_ID,NINJAONE_CLIENT_SECRET,and optionallyNINJAONE_REGION— or setAUTH_MODE=gatewayto take credentialsper-request fromX-Ninja-*headers. The MCP endpoint is/mcp;/healthis anunauthenticated liveness probe.
Architecture
This MCP server uses a hierarchical tool loading approach instead of exposing all tools upfront:
- Navigation Phase: Initially exposes only a navigation tool (
ninjaone_navigate) - Domain Selection: User selects a domain (devices, organizations, alerts, tickets)
- Domain Tools: Server exposes domain-specific tools after selection
- 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 atoken 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-technology scope at GitHub Packages andreads the token from NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, so no further config is needed. The same appliesto npx @wyre-ai/ninjaone-mcp below. Prefer a zero-setup option? Use the prebuiltcontainer image (ghcr.io/wyre-ai/ninjaone-mcp) or the .mcpb bundle attached toeach release.
Configuration
Set the following environment variables:
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
NINJAONE_CLIENT_ID |
Yes | OAuth 2.0 Client ID |
NINJAONE_CLIENT_SECRET |
Yes | OAuth 2.0 Client Secret |
NINJAONE_REGION |
No | Region: us (default), eu, oc, ca, us2, or fed |
NINJAONE_SCOPES |
No | OAuth scopes to request. Defaults to monitoring,management. Set this if your API app is granted a narrower set — see OAuth scopes |

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 returnshasMore: trueand acursorto pass back for the next page.ninjaone_devices_get- Get device detailsninjaone_devices_reboot- Schedule a device rebootninjaone_devices_services- List Windows services on a deviceninjaone_devices_alerts- Get device-specific alertsninjaone_devices_activities- View device activity log
Organizations
Manage customer organizations and their resources.
Tools:
ninjaone_organizations_list- List organizationsninjaone_organizations_get- Get organization detailsninjaone_organizations_create- Create a new organizationninjaone_organizations_locations- List organization locationsninjaone_organizations_devices- List devices for an organization
Alerts
View and manage alerts across all devices.
Tools:
ninjaone_alerts_list- List alerts with filtersninjaone_alerts_get- Get a single alert by UID (renders as an interactive card in MCP Apps hosts)ninjaone_alerts_reset- Reset/dismiss a single alertninjaone_alerts_reset_all- Reset all alerts for a device or organizationninjaone_alerts_summary- Get alert count summary
Features:
- Interactive Alert Card (MCP Apps, SEP-1865):
ninjaone_alerts_getrenders as an interactive card in MCP Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web) with an in-card "Reset alert" round-trip vianinjaone_alerts_reset; neutral by default, brandable viawindow.__BRAND__injection orMCP_BRAND_*env vars; plain-JSON behavior is unchanged in other hosts
Tickets
Manage service tickets.
Tools:
ninjaone_tickets_list- List tickets from a board (requiresboard_id;status/organization_id/device_idfilters are applied client-side, see notes below)ninjaone_tickets_get- Get ticket detailsninjaone_tickets_create- Create a new ticketninjaone_tickets_update- Update an existing ticketninjaone_tickets_add_comment- Add a comment to a ticketninjaone_tickets_comments- Get ticket commentsninjaone_tickets_boards_list- List ticket boards (to discoverboard_idvalues)
Note: NinjaOne queries tickets per board, and board IDs vary by tenant —board 1 is not always the "All Tickets" board, so
ninjaone_tickets_listrequires an explicitboard_idrather than silently guessing one. DiscoverIDs withninjaone_tickets_boards_list; on tenants where that endpointreturns 404, read the numeric ID from the board link's URL in the NinjaOneweb 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_listtherefore applies those filtersclient-side within one board page. The response separatescount(matchesin this page) fromscanned(tickets examined) and includeshasMore/cursor— page through untilhasMoreisfalseto get every match, and never treat asingle page'scountas a board-wide total. Status is matched against eachticket's status display name, so custom board statuses may not map to theOPEN/IN_PROGRESS/WAITING/CLOSEDvalues.Similarly,
ninjaone_devices_listfilters byorganization_idthroughNinjaOne's dedicated per-organization endpoint (the generaldf=orgdevicefilter is unreliable and can silently return the full fleet).
Navigation Tools
Always available:
ninjaone_navigate- Select a domain to work withninjaone_status- Show current state and credential statusninjaone_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:
- Log in to your NinjaOne dashboard
- Go to Administration > Apps > API
- Create a new API application (application platform: API Services, grant type Client Credentials)
- Grant it the scopes you need — see below
- Note the Client ID and Client Secret
- Configure the environment variables
The client library handles token refresh automatically.
OAuth scopes
By default the server requests monitoring management. Which scopes you actuallyneed depends on what you use:
| Scope | Needed for |
|---|---|
monitoring |
All read operations — listing devices, organizations, alerts, and tickets |
management |
Write operations — rebooting devices, resetting alerts, creating/updating tickets and organizations |
control |
Not used by this server |
If your API app is granted fewer scopes than the default, set NINJAONE_SCOPESto match. NinjaOne rejects a token request that asks for a scope the app wasnever granted — it returns 400 invalid_scope rather than narrowing the grant —so the failure happens at the token exchange and every tool call fails, includingreads. For a monitoring-only app:
export NINJAONE_SCOPES="monitoring"
Values may be comma- or space-separated and are case-insensitive. In gatewaydeployments the same value can be supplied per request via the X-Ninja-Scopesheader.
