Mcp Proxmox
Control Proxmox VE clusters—VMs, containers, and cluster operations—from your MCP host while you ship and run self-hosted services.
Overview
mcp-proxmox is a MCP server for the Operate phase that lets AI assistants manage Proxmox VE clusters, VMs, and containers via a stdio MCP connection.
What is this MCP server?
- PyPI package mcp-proxmox at catalog version 1.2.1 with stdio MCP transport
- Manage Proxmox VE clusters, virtual machines, and containers through AI assistant tools
- stdio integration for Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients on homelab or colo gear
- Supports day-two ops: lifecycle changes without switching to the Proxmox web UI alone
- GitHub source at antonio-mello-ai/mcp-proxmox for cluster-focused automation
- PyPI package mcp-proxmox version 1.2.1
- Transport: stdio
- Source repository: github.com/antonio-mello-ai/mcp-proxmox
Community signal: 11 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Proxmox changes require constant context switching to the web UI, so agent-assisted deploys stall when you need a new VM or container tweak mid-session.
Who is it for?
Self-hosters running Proxmox VE who want Claude Code or Cursor to handle routine VM and LXC lifecycle tasks.
Skip if: Builders on serverless-only stacks with no hypervisor, or environments that block API-driven cluster changes.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register mcp-proxmox, your assistant can provision and adjust Proxmox resources from the same MCP workflow as your app changes.
- Agent-driven VM and container create, update, and status operations on Proxmox
- Less manual Proxmox UI work during deploy and recovery
- Documented infra actions alongside application changes in one chat thread
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Operate infra is the home for hypervisor and cluster administration that continues long after application code is written. Infra subphase matches Proxmox VE as the consolidation layer for VMs and LXC containers indie builders use for staging and production.
How it compares
MCP hypervisor control for Proxmox VE, not a Kubernetes skill or generic cloud CLI wrapper.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is mcp-proxmox for?
Indie builders and operators who run Proxmox VE for VMs and containers and want MCP-accessible cluster management from their coding agent.
When should I use mcp-proxmox?
Use it during Operate infra when creating staging nodes, resizing workloads, or recovering services on your Proxmox cluster.
How do I add mcp-proxmox to my agent?
Install mcp-proxmox from PyPI, add the stdio server to your MCP host, and configure Proxmox API URL and tokens per the repository documentation.
