Overview

What is Proxmox Mcp?

An MCP server for managing Proxmox VE. It exposes 38 tools covering nodes, QEMU VMs, LXC containers, storage, cluster, and snapshots. Designed for LLM agents to interact with a Proxmox environment via natural language.

How to use Proxmox Mcp?

Run the server as a single Docker container: docker run ghcr.io/akmalovaa/proxmox-mcp:latest. Pass authentication as environment variables (PROXMOX_HOST, PROXMOX_USER, plus password or token). Add an entry to your Claude configuration (claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.claude/settings.json) to register the MCP server.

Key features of Proxmox Mcp

Single multi-arch Docker image (amd64 + arm64)
Configuration via environment variables only, no files or database
Read-only by default; destructive operations require an explicit risk level
Tiny codebase: pure stdio MCP over the Proxmoxer library
Raw JSON output, no formatting or emoji, optimized for LLM consumption

Use cases of Proxmox Mcp

Manage VMs and LXC containers through conversational AI
Query node, storage, and cluster status from Proxmox
Automate snapshot creation and management across resources
Perform safe, read-only Proxmox inspections with default risk settings

Frequently asked questions

How do I authenticate to Proxmox?

Set `PROXMOX_HOST` and `PROXMOX_USER`, plus either `PROXMOX_PASSWORD` or the recommended token pair `PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME` and `PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE`.

Is the server read-only by default?

Yes. Destructive operations are gated behind an explicit `PROXMOX_RISK_LEVEL` environment variable that must be set to a higher level.

What runtime is required?

Only Docker. The image is multi-arch and supports `amd64` and `arm64` hosts.

How do I configure it with Claude?

Add a `proxmox` entry under `mcpServers` in your Claude configuration file, using the Docker command and passing the required environment variables.

What format does the output use?

Raw JSON. The server returns clean data without formatting, emoji, or extra commentary, making it easy for an LLM to parse.
