💾 Synology MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Synology NAS devices. Enables AI assistants to manage files and downloads through secure authentication and session management.

🌟 NEW: Unified server supports both Claude/Cursor (stdio) and Xiaozhi (WebSocket) simultaneously!

🚀 Quick Start with Docker

1️⃣ Setup Environment

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/atom2ueki/mcp-server-synology.git
cd mcp-server-synology

# Create environment file
cp env.example .env

2️⃣ Configure .env File

Basic Configuration (Claude/Cursor only):

# Required: Synology NAS connection
SYNOLOGY_URL=http://192.168.1.100:5000
SYNOLOGY_USERNAME=your_username
SYNOLOGY_PASSWORD=your_password

# Optional: Auto-login on startup
AUTO_LOGIN=true
VERIFY_SSL=false

Extended Configuration (Both Claude/Cursor + Xiaozhi):

# Required: Synology NAS connection
SYNOLOGY_URL=http://192.168.1.100:5000
SYNOLOGY_USERNAME=your_username
SYNOLOGY_PASSWORD=your_password

# Optional: Auto-login on startup
AUTO_LOGIN=true
VERIFY_SSL=false

# Enable Xiaozhi support
ENABLE_XIAOZHI=true
XIAOZHI_TOKEN=your_xiaozhi_token_here
XIAOZHI_MCP_ENDPOINT=wss://api.xiaozhi.me/mcp/

3️⃣ Run with Docker

One simple command supports both modes:

# Claude/Cursor only mode (default if ENABLE_XIAOZHI not set)
docker-compose up -d

# Both Claude/Cursor + Xiaozhi mode (if ENABLE_XIAOZHI=true in .env)
docker-compose up -d

# Build and run
docker-compose up -d --build

4️⃣ Alternative: Local Python

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run with environment control
python main.py

    }
  }
}

🌐 Remote HTTP/SSE Deployment (NEW)

By default the server speaks stdio, which means the MCP client has to spawn the process locally (or via a bridge such as SSH/docker exec). For setups where the NAS is remote (different machine from where Claude/Cur
