Installation

git clone git@github.com:fredriksknese/mcp-redfish.git
cd mcp-redfish
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

The server is configured via environment variables:

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`REDFISH_HOST`	Yes	—	BMC hostname or IP address
`REDFISH_USERNAME`	No	`root`	BMC username
`REDFISH_PASSWORD`	Yes	—	BMC password

        "REDFISH_PASSWORD": "your-bmc-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage with Claude Code

claude mcp add redfish -- node /absolute/path/to/mcp-redfish/dist/index.js

Set the required environment variables in your MCP settings.

Example Prompts

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:

"What is the current power state and health of all systems?"
"Show me all temperature sensors and flag any that are above normal thresholds"
"What firmware versions are installed and which components can be updated?"
"Check the system event log for any critical errors in the last 24 hours"
"List all drives including their capacity, type (SSD/HDD), and health"
"What is the current power consumption in watts?"
"Show me the BMC network protocol settings — is IPMI enabled?"
"Gracefully restart this server"
"Clear the system event log"
"What is the BIOS version and current boot order?"

A3.9/5.0

Scored 2026-08-10 05:10 across 17 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: systems, chassis, managers, storage, logs, and firmware are all clearly separated. The list_ vs get_ pattern eliminates ambiguity, and actions like set_power_state, reset_manager, and clear_event_log are unique to their resources.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case: list_*, get_*, set_*, reset_*, clear_*. This makes the API predictable and easy to navigate for an agent.

Tool Count4/5

17 tools is slightly above the ideal 3-15 range but appropriate for the breadth of Redfish management. The set covers systems, chassis, managers, storage, logs, and firmware without being bloated.

Completeness3/5

The core read and action operations are covered, but there are notable gaps: no BIOS settings update, no firmware update, and no detailed getter for storage drives or controllers. These omissions could require workarounds but do not break the primary monitoring workflows.
