NinjaOne MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
git clone git@github.com:fredriksknese/mcp-ninjaone.git
cd mcp-ninjaone
npm install
npm run build
2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add -e "NINJAONE_CLIENT_ID=${NINJAONE_CLIENT_ID}" -e "NINJAONE_CLIENT_SECRET=${NINJAONE_CLIENT_SECRET}" -e "NINJAONE_INSTANCE=${NINJAONE_INSTANCE}" ninjaone -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_MCP_NINJAONE>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_MCP_NINJAONE>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.
