Overview

What is nutanix-mcp-server?

A FastAPI implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Nutanix Prism Central to retrieve cluster and virtual machine information. It is an MVP prototype and not intended for production use.

How to use nutanix-mcp-server?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment (3.12+), install dependencies, copy .env.example to .env, and configure Prism Central credentials. Start the server with uvicorn app:app --reload. Access endpoints /clusters and /vms via HTTP. For Dify integration, import the provided dify-openapi-schema.json as a custom tool.

Key features of nutanix-mcp-server

Fetches cluster UUID, name, and node configuration.
Retrieves VM names, vCPU, and memory details.
Exposes REST API via FastAPI with Swagger UI.
Supports Dify integration through OpenAPI schema.
Credentials and connection settings externalized via .env.
SSL verification disabled by default for self-signed certificates.

Use cases of nutanix-mcp-server

Query Nutanix cluster information using natural language via Dify agent.
Retrieve VM inventory from Prism Central without manual API calls.
Integrate into automation workflows that require cluster or VM metadata.
Prototype and test MCP server interactions before production deployment.

FAQ from nutanix-mcp-server

What are the runtime dependencies?

Requires Python 3.12+, pip 23.x+, and access to Nutanix Prism Central APIs v4.0.2 (clusters) and v4.0 (VMs).

How is SSL verification handled?

Currently SSL verification is disabled (verify=False) to support self-signed certificates. Set VERIFY_SSL="false" in .env; production environments should enable proper verification.

Can this server be used in production?

No. This is an MVP prototype intended for evaluation and development, not for production use. Future enhancements for security and reliability are planned.

How do I integrate nutanix-mcp-server with Dify?

Use the provided dify-openapi-schema.json file to create a custom tool in Dify. Then assign the tool to an agent, and ask questions like “Show me cluster information” in natural language.

Which API endpoints are available?

Two endpoints: /clusters returns basic cluster information; /vms returns basic VM information (name, vCPU, memory). Both are accessible via Swagger UI at /docs.
