README
Proxmox MCP Server
Manage your Proxmox VE infrastructure using AI. Pilotez votre infrastructure Proxmox VE grΓ’ce Γ l'IA.
This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows LLMs (like Claude, Gemini, etc.) to securely monitor and control your Proxmox nodes, VMs, and containers.
π Features
- π Monitoring: View nodes (CPU/RAM), VMs, containers (LXC), storage status, and internal IPs (via Agent).
- β‘ Management: Start, stop (graceful/forced), reboot, and Clone (Provisioning) machines.
- ποΈ Orchestration: Migrate machines (live or offline) between nodes in a cluster.
- π Analytics: View Historical Performance (CPU/RAM RRD data) for diagnostics.
- π Library: Manage LXC Templates and ISOs (Download/List).
- π·οΈ Organization: Manage machine Tags.
- π οΈ DevOps: Configure Cloud-Init (User/SSH/IP), Resize resources (CPU/RAM Hotplug), and Download ISOs.
- π‘οΈ Security: Audit and manage Firewall rules per VM/Container.
- π‘οΈ Protection: Manage Snapshots and Backups directly via MCP.
- π¨ LobeChat Ready: Compatible with LobeChat Plugins via a dedicated REST API.
- π Access: Generate direct links to the NoVNC Console.
- π Secure: Uses Proxmox API Tokens. Machine deletion is disabled for safety.
- π³ Docker-ready: Works instantly with
docker run.
