mcp-homelab-server
Enables AI agents to manage a homelab by providing tools for Docker, Ollama, and system monitoring through the Model Context Protocol.
README
MCP Homelab Server š
Model Context Protocol server for homelab management Give AI agents access to your homelab: Docker, Ollama, system stats, and more.
What Is This?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes homelab tools to AI agents like Claude, GPT, or any MCP-compatible client. Instead of writing scripts yourself, just ask your AI agent to manage your infrastructure.
Example conversations:
- "List all running Docker containers"
- "How much RAM is Ollama using?"
- "Pull the llama3 model"
- "Show me disk usage on the server"

Quick Start
With Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client
Add to your MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"homelab": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-server-homelab"]
}
}
}
With OpenClaw
{
"mcpServers": {
"homelab": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["path/to/mcp-homelab-server/src/server.py"]
}
}
}
Standalone (for testing)
git clone https://github.com/Proto-labs-rnd/mcp-homelab-server.git
cd mcp-homelab-server
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 src/server.py
Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- Docker (for Docker tools)
- Ollama (for LLM tools, optional)
- Linux/macOS (system stats rely on standard Unix tools)
