Automox MCP Server
<!-- mcp-name: com.automox/automox-mcp -->
The official MCP server for Automox. Talk to your Automox console using natural language — this MCP server connects AI assistants like Claude to your Automox environment so you can manage devices, check compliance, run policies, and more, just by asking.
You: "Are we ready for Patch Tuesday?"
Claude: Here's your readiness summary — 3 devices need patches,
2 approvals are pending, and your patch policies run tonight at 2 AM...[!IMPORTANT]
For bug reports or feature requests, use help.automox.com or your typical escalation paths.
[!CAUTION]
AI assistants can make mistakes. Responses produced by the MCP server may be incorrect or incomplete. If you see this happening consistently, please let us know.

What's New in 3.0
Automox MCP Server 3.0 adds a centrally hosted option to replace the legacy self-hosted solution. The hosted server supports all the functionality you're already using, plus one new capability.
- Hosted server: Automox now runs and maintains a version of this same server for you. Nothing to install, connect your AI client to https://console.automox.com/api/mcp with your existing API key. See Self-Hosted vs. Hosted below.
- Policy Catalog templates (hosted only): The hosted service can search Automox's library of best-practice policy templates and create a policy directly from one, so you have a starting point without building a policy from scratch. This is separate from asking about the policies already deployed in your org, this is Automox's own recommended template library.
- No capability loss: The hosted service exposes the same tool coverage you already have through this repository.
- No forced migration: This self-hosted server and the Claude Desktop extension keep working exactly as they do today. Moving to the hosted service is currently optional (but recommended), see Migrating to the Hosted Server.
- Auth is unchanged for now: Both versions use the same Automox API key. SSO is planned for a future release.
Self-Hosted vs. Hosted
Both run the same open-source server code. The difference is who installs and runs it, and one capability that's currently hosted-only.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
