Final Step: Create API Token

Your .env file is configured with your Proxmox connection details. You now need to create the API token and add it to the .env file.

Quick Steps

Option 1: Via Proxmox Web UI (Recommended - 2 minutes)

1. Open Proxmox Web Interface:

   https://192.168.11.10:8006
   

2. Login with:

   • User: root
   • Password: L@kers2010

3. Navigate to API Tokens:

   • Click Datacenter (left sidebar)
   • Click Permissions
   • Click API Tokens

4. Create Token:

   • Click Add button
   • User: Select root@pam
   • Token ID: Enter mcp-server
   • Privilege Separation: Leave unchecked (for full permissions)
   • Click Add

5. Copy the Secret:

   • ⚠️ IMPORTANT: The secret is shown only once!
   • Copy the entire secret value

6. Update .env file:

   nano ~/.env
   

   Replace this line:

   PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=your-token-secret-here
   

   With:

   PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=<paste-the-secret-here>
   

7. Save and verify:

   ./scripts/verify-setup.sh
   

Option 2: Delete Existing Token First (if it exists)

If the token mcp-server already exists:

1. In Proxmox UI: Datacenter → Permissions → API Tokens
2. Find root@pam!mcp-server
3. Click Remove to delete it
4. Then create it again using Option 1 above

After Token is Configured

Test the connection:

# Verify setup
./scripts/verify-setup.sh

# Test MCP server
pnpm test:basic
