Nandi Proxmox Mcp
Operate Proxmox nodes, VMs, and LXCs from Claude or Cursor through a local config file instead of clicking the web UI for every change.
Overview
Nandi Proxmox MCP is a MCP server for the Operate phase that lets agents perform secure Proxmox node, VM, and LXC operations via a local config file.
What is this MCP server?
- Open-source MCP server for Proxmox node, VM, and LXC operations
- npm package nandi-proxmox-mcp version 0.1.3 with stdio transport
- Requires NANDI_PROXMOX_CONFIG pointing to setup-generated local JSON config
- Marketed as secure operations against Proxmox API
- Source repository proxmox-mcp on GitHub under PapiScholz listing
- npm nandi-proxmox-mcp version 0.1.3
- Required env NANDI_PROXMOX_CONFIG for absolute config path
- stdio MCP transport
What problem does it solve?
Managing Proxmox VMs and LXCs from an agent requires bespoke API scripts and risky hand-entered credentials every time.
Who is it for?
Solo builders running apps on self-hosted Proxmox who want agent-driven infra tasks with a dedicated MCP bridge.
Skip if: Teams on managed cloud only, or anyone unwilling to gate agent permissions on a hypervisor API.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After setup and NANDI_PROXMOX_CONFIG registration, your agent can run Proxmox operations through MCP using your generated JSON config.
- MCP tools for Proxmox node, VM, and LXC operations
- Agent-driven infra changes gated by local JSON configuration
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Operate infra is the canonical shelf because day-two VM and LXC management on homelab or production Proxmox is the core job. Infra subphase matches hypervisor, VM, and container lifecycle tasks on self-hosted Proxmox clusters.
How it compares
Proxmox-focused MCP infra bridge, not Terraform, Kubernetes, or a hosted PaaS control plane.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Nandi Proxmox MCP for?
Self-hosting solo builders and small ops teams on Proxmox who want Claude Code or similar agents to manage VMs and LXCs via MCP.
When should I use Nandi Proxmox MCP?
Use it in Operate when you need repeatable agent actions on Proxmox nodes, VMs, or containers after generating the local config JSON.
How do I add Nandi Proxmox MCP to my agent?
Install nandi-proxmox-mcp via npm, run upstream setup to create the config file, set NANDI_PROXMOX_CONFIG to that absolute path, and register the stdio MCP server.
