Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools for managing oVirt / Red Hat Virtualization environments, including VM management, power operations, lifecycle, snapshots, and infrastructure queries.

How do I use oVirt MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@oVirt MCP Server Show me all virtual machines in the datacenter." That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

oVirt MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for managing oVirt / Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) environments via AI assistants such as Claude.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Access to an oVirt Engine or RHV Manager instance
An account with sufficient permissions (read-only for queries; admin for power operations)

Related MCP server: Nutanix MCP Server

Installation

git clone https://github.com/your-org/ovirt-mcp-server.git
cd ovirt-mcp-server

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Copy the example environment file and fill in your values:

cp env.example .env

Variable	Description	Example
`OVIRT_HOST`	oVirt Engine hostname or IP	`ovirt.domain.local`
`OVIRT_USER`	Username (include domain)	`admin@internal`
`OVIRT_PASSWORD`	Password
`OVIRT_INSECURE`	Skip SSL verification (`True`/`False`)	`True`

Set OVIRT_INSECURE=False in production environments with a valid certificate.

Running the server

python ovirt_mcp_server.py

The server communicates over stdio (standard MCP transport).

Claude Code integration

Add the server to your Claude Code MCP configuration (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ovirt": {
      "command": "/path/to/ovirt-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/ovirt-mcp-server/ovirt_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "OVIRT_HOST": "ovirt.domain.local",
        "OVIRT_USER": "admin@internal",
        "OVIRT_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "OVIRT_INSECURE": "True"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, use a .env file in the project directory instead of inlining credentials in the config.
