Slide MCP Server

Slide MCP Server is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to the Slide BCDR API for backup, disaster recovery, and infrastructure management. Built as a single Go binary with no runtime dependencies, it is used by system administrators, MSPs, and DevOps engineers managing Slide backup appliances and protected systems. The server enables users to inspect backup health, search and restore specific files, boot recovery virtual machines, manage image exports, and handle disaster recovery networks directly through conversational interfaces. Rather than requiring users to memorize raw client or device IDs, the server accepts plain-text name hints and resolves them deterministically. It exposes consolidated, task-oriented tools configured across multiple safety tiers, allowing teams to restrict actions to read-only queries, standard operational restores, or full administrative operations including power cycling and appliance management.
