Evaluate the Unitrends MCP server for your MSP stack.
The Stackyapper Unitrends connection is available for evaluation. Beta apps may change and should begin with a small set of read-only tools.
What is the Stackyapper Unitrends MCP integration?
The Stackyapper Unitrends integration lets compatible AI clients use approved Unitrends tools without receiving the provider credential.
What can the Unitrends integration do?
Backup appliances, protected assets, jobs, recovery points, restores, alerts, and success-rate reporting.
Available tools depend on the provider account, workspace settings, and the signed-in user’s permissions.
Who is the Unitrends MCP integration for?
It is for MSP teams that need approved Unitrends context available to an AI assistant while keeping provider authorization inside the selected Stackyapper workspace.

- Ask an authorized AI client to summarize permitted Unitrends results before a human decision.
- Use the Unitrends connection alongside another permitted business system when the workflow needs that information.
Exact tools depend on provider authorization, credential ownership, workspace settings, and the signed-in user’s permissions.

How is Unitrends access controlled?
- An administrator connects Unitrends in the intended Stackyapper workspace.
- The administrator grants available tools to specific workspaces, groups, or people.
- Stackyapper resolves the connection within the current credential and tenant scope.
- Stackyapper checks permissions and safety controls again before every request.
- Actions that require confirmation do not execute until the exact request is confirmed.
Does Unitrends send its API credential to Claude or ChatGPT?
No. Stackyapper keeps the encrypted provider credential secure and does not send it to the AI client.
How do I evaluate the Unitrends beta?
- Create or select a non-production Stackyapper workspace.
- Find Unitrends in the app catalog and request beta access if it is not enabled.
- Use the provider authorization described above with the narrowest practical permissions.
- Grant only the read-only tool needed for the evaluation.
- Request no more than five records, confirm the result in Audit, and expand access only when the test succeeds.
Support boundaries
- Stackyapper does not claim that every endpoint in the Unitrends API is exposed.
- Provider plan, account configuration, API scopes, and upstream availability can limit results.
- Administrators are responsible for correct provider permissions and user grants.
- Support status and available tools can change as provider capabilities evolve.
