3. Create configuration:
```bash
# Create config directory and copy template
mkdir -p proxmox-config
cp proxmox-config/config.example.json proxmox-config/config.json
```
4. Edit `proxmox-config/config.json`:

}
}
```
### Verifying Installation
1. Check Python environment:
```bash
python -c "import proxmox_mcp; print('Installation OK')"
```
2. Run the tests:
```bash
pytest
```
3. Verify configuration:
```bash
# Linux/macOS
PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG="proxmox-config/config.json" python -m proxmox_mcp.server
# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG="proxmox-config\config.json"; python -m proxmox_mcp.server
```
## Configuration
### Proxmox API Token Setup
1. Log into your Proxmox web interface
2. Navigate to Datacenter -> Permissions -> API Tokens
3. Create a new API token:
- Select a user (e.g., root@pam)
- Enter a token ID (e.g., "mcp-token")
- Uncheck "Privilege Separation" if you want full access
- Save and copy both the token ID and secret
## Running the Server
### Development Mode
For testing and development:
```bash
# Activate virtual environment first
source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS
# OR
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 # Windows
# Run the server
python -m proxmox_mcp.server
```
### MCP Transport Configuration
The MCP server supports multiple transport modes. Configure these in the `mcp` section of
your `proxmox-config/config.json`:
- `STDIO`: Default. Run over stdio for MCP clients like Claude Desktop/Cline.
- `SSE`: Serve MCP over Server-Sent Events (SSE).
- `STREAMABLE`: Serve MCP over streamable HTTP.
### OpenAPI Deployment (Production Ready)
Deploy ProxmoxMCP Plus as standard OpenAPI REST endpoints for integration with Open WebUI and other applications.
#### Quick OpenAPI Start
```bash
# Install mcpo (MCP-to-OpenAPI proxy)
pip install mcpo
# Start OpenAPI service on port 8811
./start_openapi.sh
```
#### Docker Deployment
```bash
# Build and run with Docker
docker build -t proxmox-mcp-api .
docker run -d --name proxmox-mcp-api -p 8811:8811 \
-v $(pwd)/proxmox-config:/app/proxmox-config proxmox-mcp-api
# Or use Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Access OpenAPI Service
Once deployed, access your service at:
- **API Documentation**: http://your-server:8811/docs
- **OpenAPI Specification**: http://your-server:8811/openapi.json
- **Health Check**: http://your-server:8811/health
### Claude Desktop Integration
For Claude Desktop users, add this configuration to your MCP settings file:
**Configuration file location:**
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- Linux: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Quick Setup:**

```bash
# macOS
cp proxmox-config/claude_desktop_config.example.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# Linux
cp proxmox-config/claude_desktop_config.example.json ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# Windows (PowerShell)
Copy-Item proxmox-config\claude_desktop_config.example.json $env:APPDATA\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
```
2. Edit the file and replace the following values:
- `/absolute/path/to/ProxmoxMCP-Plus` - Full path to your installation
- `your-proxmox-host` - Your Proxmox server IP or hostname
- `username@pve` - Your Proxmox username

## Open WebUI Integration
### Configure Open WebUI
1. Access your Open WebUI instance
2. Navigate to **Settings** → **Connections** → **OpenAPI**
3. Add new API configuration:
```json
{
"name": "Proxmox MCP API Plus",
"base_url": "http://your-server:8811",
"api_key": "",
"description": "Enhanced Proxmox Virtualization Management API"
}
```
### Natural Language VM Creation
The system supports natural language VM creation requests through AI assistants. Example requests:
- "Can you create a VM with 1 cpu core and 2 GB ram with 10GB of storage disk"
- "Create a new VM for testing with minimal resources"
- "I need a development server with 4 cores and 8GB RAM"
The AI assistant will automatically call the appropriate APIs and provide detailed feedback.
## Storage Type Support
### Intelligent Storage Detection
ProxmoxMCP Plus automatically detects storage types and selects appropriate disk formats:
#### LVM Storage (local-lvm, vm-storage)
- Format: `raw`
- High performance
- Note: No cloud-init image support
#### File-based Storage (local, NFS, CIFS)
- Format: `qcow2`
- Cloud-init support
- Flexible snapshot capabilities

## Testing
### Run Unit Tests
```bash
pytest
```
### Run Integration Tests
```bash
cd test_scripts
# Test VM power management
python test_vm_power.py
# Test VM creation
python test_create_vm.py
# Test OpenAPI service
python test_openapi.py
```
### API Testing with curl
```bash
# Test node listing
curl -X POST "http://your-server:8811/get_nodes" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{}"
# Test VM creation
curl -X POST "http://your-server:8811/create_vm" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"node": "pve",
"vmid": "300",
"name": "test-vm",
"cpus": 1,
"memory": 2048,
"disk_size": 10
}'
```
## Production Security
### API Key Authentication
Set up secure API access:
```bash
export PROXMOX_API_KEY="your-secure-api-key"
export PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG="/app/proxmox-config/config.json"
```
### Nginx Reverse Proxy
Example nginx configuration:
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8811;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Port already in use**
```bash
netstat -tlnp | grep 8811
# Change port if needed

### Production Readiness
ProxmoxMCP Plus is ready for production deployment. The system supports natural language VM creation requests through AI assistants. When a user requests VM creation (e.g., "create a VM with 1 cpu core and 2 GB ram with 10GB of storage disk"), the system will:
1. Call the `create_vm` API endpoint
2. Automatically select appropriate storage and format
3. Create VMs matching the specified requirements
4. Return detailed configuration information
5. Provide next-step recommendations
## Development
After activating your virtual environment:
- Run tests: `pytest`
- Format code: `black .`
- Type checking: `mypy .`
- Lint: `ruff .`
