ProxmoxMCP Plus
Let your coding agent manage Proxmox VE guests, snapshots, backups, storage, and cluster tasks from chat instead of clicking the web UI.
Overview
Proxmox MCP Plus is an MCP server for the Operate phase that exposes Proxmox VE VM, LXC, snapshot, backup, storage, and cluster operations to AI coding agents.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP tools for VMs and LXCs lifecycle on Proxmox VE
- Snapshot and backup operations from the agent
- Storage and cluster management via API
- stdio transport via uvx/PyPI package proxmox-mcp-plus
- Optional PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG file plus PROXMOX_HOST, user, and API token env vars
- Server version 0.5.8
- stdio transport via PyPI identifier proxmox-mcp-plus
- Covers VMs, LXCs, snapshots, backups, storage, and cluster per server description

What problem does it solve?
Toggling between the Proxmox UI and terminal breaks flow when you want the agent to resize disks, snapshot before deploys, or audit cluster state.
Who is it for?
Solo builders and small teams who run workloads on Proxmox VE and want agent-driven infra changes with API tokens.
Skip if: Teams on managed Kubernetes-only clouds with no Proxmox footprint, or anyone who refuses API-token access to their hypervisor.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registration, your agent can run governed Proxmox API workflows from the same session where it edits code and deployment scripts.
- Agent-callable Proxmox guest and storage operations
- Repeatable snapshot/backup workflows from chat
- Cluster-aware commands without custom pvesh scripts
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Homelab and indie production stacks often run on Proxmox; day-two VM/LXC lifecycle belongs in Operate → infra. Subphase infra covers hypervisor provisioning, recovery, and cluster maintenance—the core surface this MCP exposes.
How it compares
Proxmox API MCP integration for agents, not a hosted PaaS or generic Terraform skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Proxmox MCP Plus for?
Indie devs and homelab operators who self-host on Proxmox VE and want Claude Code or Cursor to manage guests and backups via MCP.
When should I use Proxmox MCP Plus?
Use it during Operate and Ship prep when you snapshot, clone, or adjust VMs/LXCs while shipping or debugging production on your own metal.
How do I add Proxmox MCP Plus to my agent?
Add a stdio MCP entry with uvx running proxmox-mcp-plus, set PROXMOX_HOST, PROXMOX_USER, token name/value, and optionally PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG, then restart the agent.
