Documentation Overview

AWX MCP - AI-Powered AWX/AAP/Ansible Automation

Industry-standard MCP server for AWX/AAP/Ansible Tower automation

The AWX MCP Server connects AWX, Ansible Automation Platform (AAP), and Ansible Tower to AI tools, giving AI agents and assistants the ability to manage job templates, launch and monitor jobs, manage inventories and projects, and automate infrastructure workflows through natural language interactions.

Designed for developers who want to integrate their AI tools with AWX/AAP/Tower automation capabilities.

✨ Supports AWX (open source), AAP (Red Hat), and Ansible Tower (legacy) - same API, same features!


🎯 Usage Patterns

Primary: MCP Server (Industry Standard) ⭐ RECOMMENDED

MCP Server

Standard MCP implementation using STDIO transport (like Postman MCP, Claude MCP)

Use Case: AI assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) + AWX automation

Features:

  • βœ… Works with any MCP client (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
  • βœ… Industry standard pattern (STDIO transport)
  • βœ… Simple installation: pip install git+https://github.com/USERNAME/awx-mcp-server.git
  • βœ… Portable across all MCP-compatible tools
  • βœ… 18+ AWX operations (templates, jobs, projects, inventories)

Best For: AI-powered automation, natural language AWX control, any MCP client


Optional: VS Code Extension (UI Enhancement)

VS Code Extension

Optional UI features for VS Code users

Use Case: VS Code users who want additional UI (sidebar views, tree providers)

Features:

  • βœ… Sidebar with AWX instances, jobs, metrics
  • βœ… Tree view of AWX resources
  • βœ… Configuration webview
  • βœ… Auto-configures MCP (or respects manual setup)

Best For: VS Code users wanting rich UI alongside MCP functionality


πŸš€ Quick Start

Installation Methods

You have three ways to install and run the AWX MCP Server:

MethodBest ForInstallation
πŸ“¦ PyPI (pip)Quick install, production usepip install awx-mcp-server
πŸ”§ From SourceCustomization, development, enterprise forksClone from GitHub, edit code
🐳 DockerContainerized deployment, teamsdocker run surgexlabs/awx-mcp-server

β†’ For customization and running from your own repository, see INSTALL_FROM_SOURCE.md


Option 1: PyPI Installation (Recommended for Quick Start)

Install from PyPI

bash
# Install the MCP server
pip install awx-mcp-server

# Verify installation
python -m awx_mcp_server --version

Configure for VS Code

Edit VS Code settings.json (Ctrl+, β†’ Search "chat.mcp"):

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awx": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "awx_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
        "AWX_BASE_URL": "https://your-awx.com"
      },
      "secrets": {
        "AWX_TOKEN": "your-awx-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart VS Code and the MCP server will be available in Copilot Chat.


Option 2: Install from Source (For Customization)

Perfect for: Forking, customization, enterprise deployments, contributing

Quick install:

bash
# Clone the repository (or your fork)
git clone https://github.com/SurgeX-Labs/awx-mcp-server.git
cd awx-mcp-server/awx-mcp-python/server

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# Install in editable mode
pip install -e .

# Verify
python -m awx_mcp_server --version

VS Code configuration (use venv Python):

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awx": {
      "command": "/path/to/awx-mcp-server/awx-mcp-python/server/venv/bin/python",
