Install Unitrends Backup in mcp-client-cli

What you need first

mcp-client-cli, installed.
Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
Your own values for YOUR_UNITRENDS_BASE_URL,YOUR_UNITRENDS_USERNAME,YOUR_UNITRENDS_PASSWORD.

Steps

Open ~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file.
Add this table at the end of the file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unitrends-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "UNITRENDS_BASE_URL", "-e", "UNITRENDS_USERNAME", "-e", "UNITRENDS_PASSWORD", "ghcr.io/wyre-technology/unitrends-mcp:v1.1.3"],
      "env": { "UNITRENDS_BASE_URL": "YOUR_UNITRENDS_BASE_URL", "UNITRENDS_USERNAME": "YOUR_UNITRENDS_USERNAME", "UNITRENDS_PASSWORD": "YOUR_UNITRENDS_PASSWORD" }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_UNITRENDS_BASE_URL,YOUR_UNITRENDS_USERNAME,YOUR_UNITRENDS_PASSWORD with your own values.
Save the file and restart mcp-client-cli.

Check it worked

Ask mcp-client-cli: List the tools of unitrends-mcp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon: Docker is not running. Start it, then restart mcp-client-cli.
The server starts, but its tools fail: A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
Nothing changes after a restart: The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
