What transport does Fortinet MCP use?

Fortinet MCP runs locally over stdio.

When was Fortinet MCP last checked?

Credentials from the publisher

FORTINET_BASE_URL — Your FortiGate's REST API root, e.g. https://203.0.113.10:8443/api/v2.
FORTINET_API_TOKEN — The FortiGate REST API admin token (System > Administrators > Create New > REST API Admin). Use a read-only admin profile.
FORTINET_DEVICES — Optional. Path to a devices.toml listing every FortiGate the fleet, audit and policies hygiene commands check, each with a token_file. Leave blank to check only the FortiGate above.
FORTINET_FMG_URL — Optional. https://<fortimanager> for the read-only fmg commands. Leave blank if you do not use FortiManager.
FORTINET_FMG_API_KEY — Optional. API key of a FortiManager REST API admin (FortiManager 7.2.2 or later) for the fmg commands.
FORTINET_CLOUD_API_USER — Optional. FortiCloud IAM API user (with FortiGate Cloud portal permission) for the read-only cloud commands.
FORTINET_CLOUD_API_PASSWORD — Optional. Password of the FortiCloud IAM API user. Repeated failed logins lock the FortiCloud account for 15-30 minutes.
FORTINET_CLOUD_REGION — Optional. global (default), us, eu or jp: the region your FortiGates were provisioned in.
FORTINET_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_ID — Optional. Required only when FortiCloud Organizations are enabled.
FORTINET_MCP_READ_ONLY — Optional. Set to 1 to expose only read-only mirrored tools and refuse any non-GET execute call.
FORTINET_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN — Required only when running the MCP server with --transport http (a remote/hosted deployment); callers must send a matching Authorization: Bearer header. Not needed for the default local stdio transport Claude Desktop uses.
FORTINET_NO_LOCAL_DATA — Optional. Set to 1 to keep no local copy of API responses: reads go to the API and the response cache is off.
FORTINET_USER_AGENT — Optional. Overrides the User-Agent the CLI sends to your FortiGates. Leave blank to use the built-in one.
PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILE — Only used when the MCP server is bound to a tenant-gated client profile. This connector registers no tenant-gated source, so leave it blank.

Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.
