## šļø Architecture
### Multi-Cluster Flow
```
.env (Central Credential Source)
ā
[utils.py] read_multi_cluster_env()
ā
[cluster_manager.py] ClusterRegistry (Loads, Caches, Routes)
ā
[multi_cluster_client.py] MultiClusterProxmoxClient (Intelligent Selection)
ā
Appropriate ProxmoxClient Instance
ā
Proxmox Cluster API
```
### Cluster Selection Priority
1. **Explicit Parameter**: `cluster="production"`
2. **Resource Name Pattern**: `name="prod-vm-web01"` ā production
3. **Default Cluster**: First in PROXMOX_CLUSTERS list
---
## š Credentials Management
### All Stored in .env (Primary Source)
- No hardcoded credentials in code
- Each cluster has independent credentials
- Pattern: `PROXMOX_CLUSTER_{name}_{setting}`
- Support for region and tier metadata
### Example Configuration
```env
PROXMOX_CLUSTERS=production,staging,disaster-recovery
PROXMOX_CLUSTER_production_API_URL=https://proxmox-prod.example.com:8006
PROXMOX_CLUSTER_production_TOKEN_ID=root@pam!mcp-prod-token
PROXMOX_CLUSTER_production_TOKEN_SECRET=secret-here
# ... repeat for other clusters
```

## š Quick Start
### 1. Setup Configuration
```bash
cp .env.example.multi .env
# Edit .env with your cluster credentials
```
### 2. Use Multi-Cluster Client
```python
from proxmox_mcp import MultiClusterProxmoxClient
client = MultiClusterProxmoxClient()
# Explicit selection
vms = client.list_vms(cluster="production")
# Pattern-based routing (automatic)
client.create_vm(name="prod-vm-web01", vmid=100, ...)
# Check all clusters
clusters = client.validate_all_clusters()
```
### 3. Verify Setup
```python
# Get cluster info
for info in client.list_all_clusters_info():
print(f"{info['cluster_name']}: {info['status']}")
```

## š¦ Deployment Guide
### For Single-Cluster Users
**No changes needed!** Your existing `.env` continues to work:
```env
PROXMOX_API_URL=...
PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID=...
PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET=...
```
### For Multi-Cluster Users
1. Copy `.env.example.multi` to `.env`
2. Update credentials for all clusters
3. Use `PROXMOX_CLUSTERS=` to enable multi-cluster mode
4. All existing code works unchanged
### For New Multi-Cluster Deployments
1. Set up `.env` with multiple clusters
2. Import `MultiClusterProxmoxClient`
3. Use with optional `cluster` parameter
4. Automatic pattern-based routing works out-of-box
