42 Tools for Windows Administration

AI SRE Agent for Windows. An MCP server that gives AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code) the ability to manage, monitor, and diagnose Windows systems.

Not just a PowerShell wrapper: includes multi-step diagnostics, trend analysis, safety controls, and audit logging.

42 tools across 8 modules + 3 MCP resources.

Quick Start

Interactive setup — detects your MCP clients and configures them automatically:

npx windows-admin-mcp --setup

Or configure manually — add to your client's config:

Claude Desktop

Add to %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "windows-admin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "windows-admin-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config (.cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, etc.):

{
  "servers": {
    "windows-admin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "windows-admin-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add windows-admin -- npx -y windows-admin-mcp

Observability (5 tools)

Tool Description
events_watch Poll for new Critical/Error events (delta only, watermark)
services_watch Detect auto-start services that are stopped
system_changes What changed in last N hours (new services, tasks, state)
error_trends Error rate trend analysis (growing/shrinking/stable)
service_restarts Service restart frequency, crash detection

Safety & Audit (6 tools)

Tool Description
config_get View current safety/audit configuration
config_reload Reload config from file
confirm_action Confirm a pending destructive action
pending_actions List pending confirmations
cancel_action Cancel a pending action
audit_query Query the audit log

MCP Resources

Resource URI Description
System Info system://info OS, CPU, RAM, uptime, hostname
System Health system://health Live health status with overall rating
Services Summary system://services Service counts by status and startup type

Safety Features

Destructive operations (kill, stop, restart, delete, bulk) are protected:

  • Confirmation flow: Returns a preview + confirmationId. Call confirm_action to proceed.
  • Blocklist: Critical processes (lsass, csrss, svchost, winlogon, etc.) are blocked by default.
  • Bulk limits: Maximum 20 operations per bulk call (configurable).
  • Audit log: All operations logged to JSONL file with timestamps.

Disable confirmation for trusted environments:

{
  "safety": {
    "requireConfirmation": false
  }
}

Configuration

Create a config.json next to the installed package, or set WINDOWS_ADMIN_MCP_CONFIG env var:

{
  "modules": {
    "services": true,
    "events": true,
    "scheduler": true,
    "processes": true,
    "network": true,
    "diagnostics": true,
    "safety": true,
    "observability": true
  },
  "safety": {
    "requireConfirmation": true,
    "confirmationTimeoutMs": 300000,
    "blocklist": ["lsass", "csrss", "svchost", "winlogon", "smss"],
    "allowlist": []
  },
  "limits": {
    "maxProcessesToKill": 5,
    "maxEventsToReturn": 500,
    "maxBulkOperations": 20
  },
  "audit": {
    "enabled": true,
    "path": "./windows-admin-mcp-audit.jsonl",
    "maxSizeMB": 50
  }
}

Usage Examples

"Why is SQL Server not working?"

diagnose_service(name: "MSSQLSERVER", port: 1433)

Runs 4-step chain: service status, port check, recent errors, dependencies. Returns hypothesis.

"Is the system healthy?"

system_health()

Single call: CPU, RAM, disk, top processes, recent errors, stopped auto-start services.

"Are errors increasing?"

error_trends(logName: "System", hours: 24)

Hourly breakdown with trend (growing/shrinking/stable), top sources, top event IDs.

"What changed in the last hour?"

system_changes(hours: 1)

New services installed, service state changes, new scheduled tasks.

"Kill the process on port 3000"

processes_ports(port: 3000)     # Find the process
processes_kill(pid: 12345)      # Returns confirmationId
confirm_action(confirmationId: "...")  # Execute

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+
  • Node.js 18+
  • PowerShell 5.1+ (included with Windows)
  • Administrator privileges (for service control and some event logs)

42 инструмента для Windows-администрирования

AI SRE агент для Windows. MCP-сервер, позволяющий AI-ассистентам управлять, мониторить и диагностировать Windows.

Не просто обертка над PowerShell: многошаговая диагностика, анализ трендов, система безопасности, аудит.

42 инструмента, 8 модулей, 3 MCP-ресурса.

Быстрый старт

Автоматическая настройка — определяет установленные MCP-клиенты и конфигурирует их:

npx windows-admin-mcp --setup

Или вручную — добавьте в конфиг Claude Desktop (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "windows-admin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "windows-admin-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Модули

  • Services (6): управление службами Windows
  • Event Viewer (5): запросы, объяснение Event ID, сводки
  • Task Scheduler (8): полное управление планировщиком
  • Processes (4): список, детали, kill, порты
  • Network (4): ping, порты, DNS, соединения
  • Diagnostics (4): diagnose_service, system_health, bulk-операции
  • Observability (5): watch mode, обнаружение изменений, тренды ошибок
  • Safety & Audit (6): конфигурация, подтверждение, аудит

Безопасность

  • Деструктивные операции требуют подтверждения через confirm_action
  • Критические процессы (lsass, csrss, svchost) в блок-листе
  • Лимит на массовые операции (20 по умолчанию)
  • Все действия логируются в JSONL-файл
