# 🚀 Proxmox MCP Server
A Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Proxmox hypervisors, providing a clean interface for managing nodes, VMs, and containers.
## 🏗️ Built With
- [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline) - Autonomous coding agent - Go faster with Cline.
- [Proxmoxer](https://github.com/proxmoxer/proxmoxer) - Python wrapper for Proxmox API
- [MCP SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/sdk) - Model Context Protocol SDK
- [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/) - Data validation using Python type annotations
## ✨ Features
- 🤖 Full integration with Cline
- 🛠️ Built with the official MCP SDK
- 🔒 Secure token-based authentication with Proxmox
- 🖥️ Tools for managing nodes and VMs
- 💻 VM console command execution
- 📝 Configurable logging system
- ✅ Type-safe implementation with Pydantic
- 🎨 Rich output formatting with customizable themes

## 📦 Installation
1. Create a directory for your [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline) MCP servers (if you haven't already):
```bash
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Cline/MCP
cd ~/Documents/Cline/MCP
```
2. Clone and install the package:
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/canvrno/ProxmoxMCP.git
# Install in development mode with dependencies
pip install -e "proxmox-mcp[dev]"
```
3. Create and verify your configuration:
```bash
# Create config directory in the project root
cd ProxmoxMCP
mkdir proxmox-config
cd proxmox-config
```
Create `config.json`:
```json
{
"proxmox": {
"host": "your-proxmox-host", # Must be a valid hostname or IP
"port": 8006,
"verify_ssl": true,
"service": "PVE"
},
"auth": {
"user": "your-username@pve",
"token_name": "your-token-name",
"token_value": "your-token-value"
},
"logging": {
"level": "INFO",
"format": "%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s",
"file": "proxmox_mcp.log"
}
}
```
Important: Verify your configuration:
- Ensure the config file exists at the specified path
- The `host` field must be properly set to your Proxmox server's hostname or IP address
- You can validate your config by running:
```bash
python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(open('config.json'))['proxmox']['host'])"
```
- This should print your Proxmox host address. If it prints an empty string or raises an error, your config needs to be fixed.
4. The server provides these tools:
- `get_nodes`: List all nodes in the cluster
- `get_node_status`: Get detailed status of a node
- `get_vms`: List all VMs
- `get_storage`: List available storage
- `get_cluster_status`: Get cluster status
- `execute_vm_command`: Run commands in VM consoles
Requirements:
- Python 3.9 or higher
## 🛠️ Development Setup
1. Install UV:
```bash
pip install uv
```
2. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/canvrno/ProxmoxMCP.git
cd proxmox-mcp
```
3. Create and activate virtual environment:
```bash
# Create venv
uv venv
# Activate venv (Windows)
.venv\Scripts\activate
# OR Activate venv (Unix/MacOS)
source .venv/bin/activate
```
4. Install dependencies:
```bash
# Install with development dependencies
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
# OR install only runtime dependencies
uv pip install -e .
```
## ⚙️ Configuration
### Proxmox API Token Setup
1. Log into your Proxmox web interface
2. Navigate to Datacenter -> Permissions -> API Tokens
3. Create a new API token:
- Select a user (e.g., root@pam)
- Enter a token ID (e.g., "mcp-token")
- Uncheck "Privilege Separation" if you want full access
- Save and copy both the token ID and secret
### Server Configuration
Configure the server using either a JSON file or environment variables:

## 🚀 Running the Server
### Development Mode
For testing and development, use the MCP development server:
```bash
mcp dev proxmox_mcp/server.py
```
### Claude Desktop Integration
To install the server in Claude Desktop:
```bash
# Basic installation
mcp install proxmox_mcp/server.py
# Installation with custom name and environment variables
mcp install proxmox_mcp/server.py \
--name "Proxmox Manager" \
-v PROXMOX_HOST=your-host \
-v PROXMOX_USER=username@pve \
