Zabbix + Claude

Zabbix monitoring: hosts, host groups, items, triggers, active problems, events and the latest measured values. JSON-RPC API over a single endpoint, bearer API token.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

ZABBIX_URL, ZABBIX_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

Getting a token (requires Zabbix 6.4 or newer)

  1. Sign in to the Zabbix frontend as a Super admin and open Users → API tokens.
  2. Create a token for a user with read permission on the host groups the agent should see, and copy the value — Zabbix shows it once.
  3. Set ZABBIX_URL to your frontend root (no trailing slash, no /api_jsonrpc.php) and ZABBIX_API_TOKEN to the token. The adapter sends it as Authorization: Bearer …, which Zabbix accepts from 6.4 on. Zabbix 5.4–6.2 only take the token in the JSON-RPC auth field, which this adapter does not use, so every call there fails with "Not authorised".

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
  2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter a name, e.g. Zabbix, and the remote MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add.
  4. Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
