Zabbix MCP
Zabbix MCP Server is a Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide advanced, programmable access to Zabbix monitoring data and management features. It exposes a modern API for querying, automating, and integrating Zabbix resources such as hosts, templates, triggers, items, problems, events, users, proxies, maintenance periods, and more. The server supports both read and write operations…. Its 40 documented tools cover host, hostgroup, template, item.
People connecting DevOps & monitoring tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Zabbix MCP
before you install - you'll need
Set ZABBIX_URL, ZABBIX_TOKEN, ZABBIX_VERIFY_SSL, ZABBIX_TIMEOUT, ZABBIX_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK, READ_ONLY_MODE, LOG_LEVEL, RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED, RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS, RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MINUTES, TOOL_SEARCH_ENABLED, TOOL_SEARCH_STRATEGY before connecting.
Claude Code
claude mcp add mhajder-zabbix-mcp -- uvx zabbix-mcpClaude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"mhajder-zabbix-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"zabbix-mcp"
]
}
}
}Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package zabbix-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.mhajder is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Zabbix MCP can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
With this server connected, an agent can list hosts with optional filtering by groups, templates, proxies, and search criteria, create a new host with interfaces and template linking, update host properties (name, status, description), and delete hosts by ID.

06 · Zabbix MCP FAQ
Is Zabbix MCP still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-22 and it shipped 5 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
What can Zabbix MCP do?
With this server connected, an agent can list hosts with optional filtering by groups, templates, proxies, and search criteria, create a new host with interfaces and template linking, update host properties (name, status, description), and delete hosts by ID.
How do I install Zabbix MCP?
Run `uvx zabbix-mcp`. The README documents 12 environment variables (ZABBIX_URL, ZABBIX_TOKEN, ZABBIX_VERIFY_SSL…) to set first. Set ZABBIX_URL, ZABBIX_TOKEN, ZABBIX_VERIFY_SSL, ZABBIX_TIMEOUT, ZABBIX_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK, READ_ONLY_MODE, LOG_LEVEL, RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED, RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS, RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MINUTES, TOOL_SEARCH_ENABLED, TOOL_SEARCH_STRATEGY before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Zabbix MCP run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
