Provides ESXi and vCenter Server integration for complete virtual machine lifecycle management (create, clone, delete, power operations), real-time performance monitoring (CPU, memory, storage, network), and server management through a RESTful API interface.
Supports YAML as a configuration format for defining server settings, connection parameters, and authentication details.
ESXi MCP Server
A VMware ESXi/vCenter management server based on MCP (Model Control Protocol), providing simple REST API interfaces for virtual machine management.
Features
Support for ESXi and vCenter Server connections
Real-time communication based on SSE (Server-Sent Events)
RESTful API interface with JSON-RPC support
API key authentication
Complete virtual machine lifecycle management
Real-time performance monitoring
SSL/TLS secure connection support
Flexible configuration options (YAML/JSON/Environment Variables)
Core Functions
Virtual Machine Management
Create VM
Clone VM
Delete VM
Power On/Off operations
List all VMs
Performance Monitoring
CPU usage
Memory usage
Storage usage
Network traffic statistics
Requirements
Python 3.7+
pyVmomi
PyYAML
uvicorn
mcp-core (Machine Control Protocol core library)
Quick Start
Install dependencies:
pip install pyvmomi pyyaml uvicorn mcp-core
Create configuration file
config.yaml:
vcenter_host: "your-vcenter-ip"
vcenter_user: "administrator@vsphere.local"
vcenter_password: "your-password"
datacenter: "your-datacenter" # Optional
cluster: "your-cluster" # Optional
datastore: "your-datastore" # Optional
network: "VM Network" # Optional
insecure: true # Skip SSL certificate verification
api_key: "your-api-key" # API access key
log_file: "./logs/vmware_mcp.log" # Log file path
log_level: "INFO" # Log level
Run the server:
python server.py -c config.yaml
API Interface
Authentication
All privileged operations require authentication first:
POST /sse/messages
Authorization: Bearer your-api-key
Main Tool Interfaces
Create VM
{
"name": "vm-name",
"cpu": 2,
"memory": 4096,
"datastore": "datastore-name",
"network": "network-name"
}
Clone VM
{
"template_name": "source-vm",
"new_name": "new-vm-name"
}
Delete VM
{
"name": "vm-name"
}
Power Operations
{
"name": "vm-name"
}
Resource Monitoring Interface
Get VM performance data:
GET vmstats://{vm_name}
Configuration
Parameter | Description | Required | Default |
vcenter_host | vCenter/ESXi server address | Yes | - |
vcenter_user | Login username | Yes | - |
vcenter_password | Login password | Yes | - |
datacenter | Datacenter name | No | Auto-select first |
cluster | Cluster name | No | Auto-select first |
datastore | Storage name | No | Auto-select largest available |
network | Network name | No | VM Network |
insecure | Skip SSL verification | No | false |
api_key | API access key | No | - |
log_file | Log file path | No | Console output |
log_level | Log level | No | INFO |
Environment Variables
All configuration items support environment variable settings, following these naming rules:
VCENTER_HOST
VCENTER_USER
VCENTER_PASSWORD
VCENTER_DATACENTER
VCENTER_CLUSTER
VCENTER_DATASTORE
VCENTER_NETWORK
VCENTER_INSECURE
MCP_API_KEY
MCP_LOG_FILE
MCP_LOG_LEVEL
Security Recommendations
Production Environment:
Use valid SSL certificates
Enable API key authentication
Set appropriate log levels
Restrict API access scope
Testing Environment:
Set insecure: true to skip SSL verification
Use more detailed log level (DEBUG)
