Proxmox MCP Plus

Operate Proxmox VE from MCP clients, AI agents, and OpenAPI tooling through one security-conscious control plane for VMs, LXCs, snapshots, backups, ISOs, container commands, and persistent long-running jobs. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with automation, homelab and lxc and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Proxmox MCP Plus

before you install - you'll need

Set PROXMOX_HOST, PROXMOX_USER, PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME, PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE, PROXMOX_PORT, PROXMOX_VERIFY_SSL, PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG, MCP_API_KEY, MCP_OAUTH_DATABASE_URL, MCP_OAUTH_KEY_VERSION, PROXMOX_MCP_MODE before connecting. PROXMOX_API_KEY is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add rekklesna-proxmoxmcp-plus -- uvx proxmox-mcp-plus

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rekklesna-proxmoxmcp-plus": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "proxmox-mcp-plus"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
