SUSE Linux MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges AI assistants with the SUSE Linux ecosystem. Enables safe, reliable access to the openSUSE Wiki, OBS (Open Build Service), and SUSE repositories for AI-assisted system management.

Supports all SUSE variants: openSUSE Tumbleweed, Leap, MicroOS, Slowroll, SLES, SLED, and SLE Micro. Immutable variants use transactional-update automatically.
