proxmox-mcp
MCP server for Proxmox VE that enables AI assistants to inspect and manage LXC containers, VMs, snapshots, and resource pools via the Proxmox API.
README
proxmox-mcp
MCP server for Proxmox VE — gives AI assistants read and create access to LXC containers, QEMU VMs, snapshots, and resource pools through the Proxmox API.
Why
Infrastructure changes (spinning up a new LXC, checking node load, rolling back a snapshot) require cross-referencing the Proxmox UI with whatever task is in flight. This server brings Proxmox state into the conversation, so an AI assistant can inspect and act on the cluster without context-switching to the web UI.
Tools
Nodes — proxmox_list_nodes, proxmox_get_node_status
LXC Containers — proxmox_list_lxc, proxmox_get_lxc_status, proxmox_get_lxc_config, proxmox_create_lxc, proxmox_start_lxc
Snapshots — proxmox_list_snapshots, proxmox_create_snapshot, proxmox_restore_snapshot
Resource Pools — proxmox_list_pools, proxmox_assign_pool
VMs (read-only) — proxmox_list_vms
Destructive lifecycle operations (stop, destroy) are intentionally not exposed — the server is scoped to inventory, provisioning, and snapshot management only.
Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
PROXMOX_HOST |
192.168.1.215 |
Proxmox node IP or hostname |
PROXMOX_USER |
automation@pve |
Proxmox API user |
PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME |
automation-token |
API token name |
PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE |
(required) | API token secret |
PROXMOX_VERIFY_SSL |
false |
Set true for valid TLS |
MCP_TRANSPORT |
stdio |
stdio or sse |
MCP_HOST / MCP_PORT |
0.0.0.0 / 8000 |
SSE listen address |
Authentication uses Proxmox API tokens (not password auth). The token needs VM.Audit, VM.Config.*, and Datastore.Audit privileges on the relevant resource pools.
Run
pip install -e .
PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=... proxmox-mcp
Deploy
Deployed as a systemd SSE service on Proteus. GitLab CI pushes on merge to main. See .env.example for the full variable list.
