Below are example prompts for common SqlBak MCP workflows.

Creating a backup job

Create a backup job with backups of all databases on server-name and upload them to AWS S3.

I connected a new server to SqlBak. Add the same backup job to it as on the previously connected servers.

Find all backup jobs and update retention so full backups are kept for 14 days in every configured storage.

Add sending an email to email@address.com on failure for all backup jobs.

Set daily backup runs at 2 AM for all backup jobs.

Why did the last error happen in the backup job?

Create a maintenance job for rebuilding indexes on server-name. Schedule it for 4 AM.

Install the SqlBak backup agent on server-name. Connect it to the MySQL database. Take the credentials from the file /home/user/credentials.csv.

This will work if your MCP agent can execute instructions on your servers. SqlBak MCP only returns the installation instructions.

Restore the backup of database test-db from server prod to server test under the name copy-test-db.

Important note: restore is a guided flow. The AI should not silently start it without explicit confirmation.
