Proxmox MCP Overview
proxmox-mcp connects AI clients to Proxmox VE clusters through the Proxmox API and exposes inventory, status, task, storage, guest, and provisioning tools. Read operations can inspect nodes, VMs, LXC containers, backups, snapshots, networks, permissions, and resource metrics. State-changing calls require confirmation, while destructive actions additionally require an explicit flag and process-level environment setting. Use it when an agent needs controlled access to a homelab or virtualization cluster without direct root-shell access.
Primary Use Cases for Proxmox MCP:
- Inventory VMs and LXC containers across a Proxmox cluster
- Inspect storage, backups, snapshots, and resource metrics
- Trace asynchronous Proxmox tasks and retrieve their logs
- Provision or clone guests with confirmation gates
