proxmox-mcp

A six-tool MCP server that lets a model inspect Proxmox health, guests, storage, tasks, and backups while leaving restart, delete, create, and every other mutation structurally unavailable.

Who it is for — and why

Self-hosters and infrastructure teams that want model-assisted diagnosis without placing a write-capable infrastructure credential behind the model.

Proof you can inspect

  • The adapter contains no POST, PUT, or DELETE path; all six advertised tools are read-only
  • Node, storage, and guest allowlists shape both the runtime authorization check and the schema the model sees
  • Credential-free simulation exercises the complete tool surface before an operator creates a real token
  • The development gate runs 125 tests plus lint and static type checking

Limits

  • Requires an operator-created read-only Proxmox token for live use
  • Discovery is deliberately broader than the serving allowlist
  • Remediation and write operations are out of scope

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/0xreconlion/proxmox-mcp.git && cd proxmox-mcp && uv sync
