What is Proxmox MCP Server?

Proxmox MCP Server is a server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), specifically designed to interact with the Proxmox virtualization platform. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to easily manage your virtualization environment without in-depth knowledge of Proxmox's complex APIs.

How to use Proxmox MCP Server?

You can interact with the server through simple commands or a graphical interface to query node status, manage virtual machines, execute commands, etc. The server supports settings through configuration files and provides detailed logging.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for scenarios where multiple Proxmox nodes need to be centrally managed, especially when you want to operate through a unified interface instead of logging into each node individually. It is also suitable for users who need to integrate Proxmox management into automated workflows.

Main features

Node management
View and manage the status and resource usage of all Proxmox nodes
Virtual machine management
List, query, and control virtual machines, including executing console commands
Storage management
View the status and usage of storage pools
Cluster status
Get comprehensive status information of the entire Proxmox cluster
Security authentication
Use API tokens for secure authentication and support SSL verification
Logging
A configurable logging system that supports different levels of detail
Advantages
Provides a simpler interface than the native Proxmox API
Supports integration with other tools through the MCP protocol
Visualization of detailed resource usage
A secure token authentication mechanism
A variety of output formatting options
Limitations
Requires pre - configuration of API tokens
Limited support for Proxmox advanced features
Requires a Python environment to run
Some features require QEMU Guest Agent support
