# Axcient MCP Tools & API Patterns
## Overview
The Axcient MCP server wraps the x360Recover Public API (BCDR — backup
continuity and disaster recovery for servers and workstations behind Axcient
appliances, plus direct-to-cloud agents). It registers 20 tools covering the
caller's organization, clients, devices, backup jobs, vaults, and appliances.
Eighteen are read-only `GET` calls; two mutate state —
`axcient_set_vault_threshold` and `axcient_get_d2c_agent_token`.
## Anti-triggers
- **Datto BCDR (SIRIS/ALTO) devices** — different vendor, different API.
Use `datto-bcdr`.
- **Datto SaaS Protection (M365/Google Workspace backup)** — use
`datto-saas-protection`.
- **Unitrends appliances** — use `unitrends`.
- **Billing/usage reconciliation across the whole x360 suite** — Axcient's
separate Billing API is not wrapped by this server; nothing here returns
invoice line items.
## Connection & Authentication
### API Key Authentication
x360Recover authenticates with a single HTTP header:
| Header | Value |
|--------|-------|
| `x-api-key` | Your Axcient API key |
Generate credentials at: **partner.axcient.com > Settings > API Keys**
(any administrator can create one; all administrators can view and delete
keys created by others in the same organization).
**Environment Variables (self-hosted / stdio mode):**
```bash
export AXCIENT_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
Through the WYRE Conduit gateway you set nothing — Conduit holds the key and
injects it per request as `X-Axcie
