Enterprise Proxmox VE Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

An enterprise-grade, high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Proxmox VE, built with TypeScript, Bun, and the Elysia framework.

It absorbs all 285 tools from the reference Python implementation and adds enhanced guest command execution capabilities and high-value enterprise management tools (totaling 298 tools).

🌟 Key Features

• ⚡ Bun & Elysia Powered: Ultra-fast execution, native TypeScript support, and low memory consumption.

• 🛠️ 298 Enterprise MCP Tools: Full coverage across 11 Proxmox VE domains:

  • access: Users, Groups, Roles, Permissions, Tokens, ACLs, TFA, Auth Domains.

  • backup: Jobs, schedules, included volumes, and manual backup triggers.

  • cluster: Cluster status, resources, tasks, logs, replication, metrics, options.

  • firewall: Node/Cluster/VM/LXC firewall rules, aliases, IP sets, security groups.

  • ha: High Availability status, manager, resources, groups.

  • lxc: Container management, creation, migration, snapshots, firewall, plus lxc_exec_sync.

  • nodes: Status, config, DNS, network interfaces, storage, services, APT updates, RRD stats, system journal, certificates, task logs, Physical Disks, SMART Health, ZFS & LVM Pools, PCI & USB Passthrough Discovery, Task Cancellation, Bulk Operations.

  • pools: Resource pools and ACME (Let's Encrypt) certificates.

  • qemu: Virtual machine lifecycle, snapshots, cloud-init, cloning, migration, plus vm_agent_exec_sync and Auto Base64 File Read/Write.

  • sdn: Software Defined Networks (VNets, zones, subnets, controllers, IPAM, DNS).

  • storage: Storage status, config, content, ISO upload, volume allocation/deletion.

• 🚀 Corrected & Enhanced Guest Command Execution:

  • Synchronous Wait (vm_agent_exec_sync): Automatically polls exec-status until command completion, returning stdout, stderr, and exitcode in a single tool call.

  • Auto Base64 Decoding: Base64-encoded out-data and err-data from QEMU guest agent are automatically decoded into clean UTF-8 text strings.

  • Smart Shell Formatting: Automatically wraps string commands with shell execution (/bin/sh -c) so pipes, redirects, and quotes work out-of-the-box.

  • LXC Guest Command Execution (lxc_exec_sync): Brand new execution capability inside LXC containers.

• 🔒 Enterprise Security & Auth:

  • Dual Auth: API Tokens (PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME + PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE) or User Passwords (PROXMOX_USER + PROXMOX_PASSWORD with automatic ticket renewal).

  • Read-Only Mode (PROXMOX_READ_ONLY=true) to prevent write/destructive operations.

  • TLS Verification Control (PROXMOX_VERIFY_SSL=false for self-signed certificates).

• 📡 Dual MCP Transport:

  • Stdio Transport: Integrated for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and CLI clients.

  • Elysia HTTP & SSE Transport: Real-time Server-Sent Events MCP endpoint at /sse, health check at /health, and metrics at /metrics.
