Overview

The Druva Model Context Protocol (MCP) Connector allows Claude App to securely interface with Druva Cloud via natural-language prompts. Authentication uses OAuth, ensuring all interactions strictly follow your existing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions.

Prerequisites

Installed and accessible Claude application.
Valid Druva administrator credentials.
Permission to authorize third-party connectors.

❗️Important

Druva MCP Connector for Claude is not supported on Druva Australia Cloud or FedRAMP GovCloud.

Security & Access Control

RBAC Compliance: Claude operates strictly under the permissions of the authenticated Druva user. It cannot bypass access controls or read unauthorized data.
Deletion Guardrails: The Druva MCP server supports read and administrative configuration tasks only. It cannot delete backup data or Druva Cloud configurations.

Procedure

Install Claude for Claude Desktop App

Open Claude Desktop and select Customize from the left navigation panel.
Select Connectors.
Click the Add dropdown in the upper-right corner and select Browse connectors.
Search for Druva Connector and click +. You will be redirected to the Druva Console.

Install Druva MCP using Claude CLI

From the Claude CLI, run the following command in your terminal.
