Servosity Claude Code Skill

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the servosity-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. macOS / Linux:

   bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/servosity/install.sh)
   

2. Windows (PowerShell):

   iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/servosity/install.ps1 | iex
   

3. Verify: servosity-cli --version
4. Ensure ~/.local/bin (macOS / Linux) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\msp-skills (Windows) is on $PATH.

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

No competitor in the MSP backup space ships a fleet-wide CLI. Reach for servosity-cli when you need to triage attention across every client at once, generate the backup section of a QBR in 30 seconds, watch every restore queue during DR from one terminal, or reconcile your Servosity bill against what you're invoicing clients. Every response is agent-native: --json, --select, --csv, --dry-run, typed exit codes.

When to Use This CLI

Use servosity-cli when you're managing backups across a book of MSP clients on Servosity. It is the right tool for the morning attention sweep, the Friday stale-backup hunt, ad-hoc 'is ACME OK?' checks, batch issue triage during planned outages, restore-queue oversight during DR, monthly bill reconciliation, and quarterly client QBR backup sections. The local SQLite mirror + snapshot history make any 'what changed since X?' question answerable - which the web portal cannot do.

When NOT to Use This CLI

• Not for initiating or managing restores - watch queues with restore-queue watch, but drive actual restore operations from the Servosity portal.
• Not for editing backup configurations, schedules, or retention policies on individual agents; this is fleet visibility + partner-API operations only.
• Not a cross-reseller view: the partner token is reseller-scoped, so one CLI instance sees one reseller's book.
• Not an alerting daemon - it polls on demand; wire --json output into your own scheduler/RMM for notifications.
• Routing within the CLI: per-company ranked list → attention; one fleet number set → fleet-health; what changed between runs → drift; single client deep-dive → qbr.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Fleet-wide intelligence

• attention - One screen across your whole book of clients. Merges open issues, stale backups into a per-company ranked view, then persists the result so tomorrow's drift command can compare.

  Reach for this in the morning to triage what needs follow-up across every client without clicking through a portal.

  servosity-cli attention --top 10 --json
  

• drift - Diff two snapshots the CLI collected - show which companies got worse, which recovered, and which are new since a past anchor. Default compares yesterday-to-now on the attention metric.

  Use Monday morning to start with situation awareness instead of treating every week as a fresh slate.

  servosity-cli drift --metric attention --from yesterday --to now --json
  

• stale-backups - Slice the stale-backup-sets report by company, age window, and backup engine - entirely offline once cached. Use --refresh to repull from the API.

  Run this Friday afternoon to compile the list of clients you need to email about a stalled backup.

  servosity-cli stale-backups --days 7 --engine restic --json
  

• backup-facts - Unified view across Servosity's three backup engines (classic, restic, DR) for one company or all. Engine, ID, hostname, last_successful_at, state, and freshness-derived health - joined from three local store tables into one table.

  Reach for this when triaging a client who has multiple engines protecting different devices and you need to know which engine is failing where.

  servosity-cli backup-facts --company 4421 --status stale --json
  

Client-facing reporting

• qbr - Generate the backup section of a client's Quarterly Business Review as Markdown, HTML, or PDF. Job success rate, restore tests run this quarter, coverage map across all three engines, open issues, storage trend.

  Use this 1-2 weeks before a client QBR. Saves 30-60 min of manual deck-building per client.

  servosity-cli qbr 4421 --quarter 2026-Q1 --format pdf --out acme-q1.pdf
  

Daily ops efficiency

• triage - List open issues with filters, then batch-mutate them (ignore / archive / reactivate / comment) in one invocation with --dry-run support and typed exit codes.

  Use when the issue queue is bursty or during a planned-outage window where many alerts cluster around one client.

  servosity-cli triage --company 4421 --ignore 18,22,29 --comment 'scheduled outage' --dry-run
  

Disaster recovery

• restore-queue watch - Watch every active company's restore queue across the book during a DR event. Polls each company periodically and prints diffs since the last tick.

  Use during an active disaster recovery event when multiple clients have restores in flight.

  servosity-cli restore-queue watch --interval 30s --json
  

Business operations

• bill --reconcile - Pull the MSP's monthly Servosity bill and compare line-by-line against a CSV of what the MSP is invoicing their clients. Surfaces drift - clients under- or over-charged.

  Run this every month-end before invoicing clients. Catches missed line items and pricing mismatches.

  servosity-cli bill --reconcile invoiced-2026-05.csv --month 2026-05 --json
  

• unprovisioned - List agents installed on client machines but not yet pulling backups, ranked by client. Surfaces lost revenue from incomplete onboardings.

  Run weekly to catch agents installed during onboarding that never successfully phoned home.

  servosity-cli unprovisioned --age 24h --json
  

• storage-trend - Linear-regression forecast of when a specific client will hit a capacity threshold. Reads the historical storage_bytes time series from local snapshots; with --snapshot, persists a new measurement for future runs.

  Run quarterly per high-storage client to identify upsell opportunities before they hit a hard limit.

  servosity-cli storage-trend 4421 --weeks 12 --threshold 1TB --json
  

Local state that compounds

• email-draft - Generate ready-to-paste follow-up email bodies for every client with a stale backup, filled from the local store (client name, hosts, days stale, last success).

  Reach for this on the Friday follow-up sweep to turn the stale list into sendable emails in one step.

  servosity-cli email-draft --stale --days 7
  

Cross-tenant intelligence

• fleet-health - One fleet-wide scorecard: 24h job success rate, companies with stale backups, and open issues, with week-over-week deltas.

  Reach for this when you need the owner-glance fleet number set, not the per-company list.

  servosity-cli fleet-health --json
  

Reporting that writes itself

• qbr-all - Generate every client's QBR backup report in one pass, one file per company.

  Reach for this at quarter end to produce the whole book's QBR backup sections at once.

  servosity-cli qbr-all --quarter 2026-Q1 --out ./qbrs/

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

servosity-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match - fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Morning attention sweep with field projection

servosity-cli attention --top 5 --json --select companies.company_name,companies.score,companies.open_issues

Narrow the output to just the fields an agent cares about - keeps token usage low and pipes cleanly to jq or downstream tools.

Friday stale-backup follow-up list

servosity-cli stale-backups --days 7 --engine restic --csv

CSV output for paste-into-spreadsheet workflows when you're compiling the list of clients to email.

Client QBR pack

servosity-cli qbr 4421 --quarter 2026-Q1 --format pdf --out acme-q1-backup.pdf

Generates a self-contained PDF with cover page, job success rate, restore tests, coverage table, open issues, and storage trend table. Hand it to the account lead 1-2 weeks before the QBR.

Bill reconciliation against invoicing CSV

servosity-cli bill --reconcile invoiced-2026-05.csv --month 2026-05 --json

CSV columns: company_id, company_name, invoiced_amount. Output shows delta vs Servosity's bill, sorted by absolute delta - catches under-billing before month-end close.

Restore-queue watch during DR event

servosity-cli restore-queue watch --interval 30s --json

Emits NDJSON, one tick per line. Pipe to tee dr-event.log to capture the timeline of every queue change for the post-mortem.

Auth Setup

Authenticate with your Servosity partner API token. Export SERVOSITY_MSP_TOKEN with your reseller-scoped token (find or rotate it in the Servosity partner portal). The CLI auto-resolves your reseller ID from your company list (override with SERVOSITY_MSP_RESELLER_ID) on first run - you never type it.

Run servosity-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

• Pipeable - JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

• Filterable - --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

  servosity-cli agent-login list --agent --select id,name,status
  

• Previewable - --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly - sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive - never prompts, every input is a flag

• Explicit retries - use --idempotent only when an already-existing create should count as success, and --ignore-missing only when a missing delete target should count as success

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set - piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

servosity-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
servosity-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
servosity-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/servosity-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless SERVOSITY_MSP_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or SERVOSITY_MSP_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

servosity-cli profile save briefing --json
servosity-cli --profile briefing agent-login list
servosity-cli profile list --json
servosity-cli profile show briefing
servosity-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

1. Empty, help, or --help → show servosity-cli --help output
2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

The installer above drops servosity-mcp alongside the CLI. Register it:

claude mcp add servosity-mcp -- servosity-mcp

Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

1. Check if installed: which servosity-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
3. Execute with the --agent flag:

   servosity-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
   

4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: servosity-cli <command> --help.
