VCenter Mcp Server

What is VCenter Mcp Server?

VCenter Mcp Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server tool designed for vCenter Server to simplify virtual machine management tasks. It integrates seamlessly with vCenter Server, providing a unified interface for operations such as virtual machine migration and information querying.

How to use VCenter Mcp Server?

Clone the project from Gitee, install dependencies via pip install -r requirements.txt, configure the .env file with vCenter Server connection details (VCENTER_HOST, VCENTER_USER, VCENTER_PASSWORD), then run the server using mcp-proxy in SSE mode. Finally, add the server URL (e.g., http://localhost:8080/sse) to your MCP client configuration.

Key features of VCenter Mcp Server

FAQ from VCenter Mcp Server

What dependencies are required?

The server requires Python with the packages listed in requirements.txt and a running vCenter Server instance. Connection credentials must be provided in a .env file.

How does the server authenticate with vCenter?

Authentication is done via the vCenter Server username and password set in the .env configuration file (VCENTER_USER and VCENTER_PASSWORD).

What transport protocol does the server use?

The server communicates using SSE (Server-Sent Events) via mcp-proxy, listening on a configurable host and port (default 0.0.0.0:8080).

Does the server store any data locally?

No – the server only acts as a bridge; all data resides on the connected vCenter Server instance.

Can I power off/on DELL servers through this tool?

Yes, the server includes tools to shut down and start up DELL servers using their iDRAC BMC IP address (separate from vCenter management).
