This server provides multi-step workflow orchestration for VMware infrastructure, combining skills like VM lifecycle, monitoring, networking, and storage into automated sequences with approval gates, rollback, and audit trails.
Workflow Design & Creation
design_workflow— Describe a goal in natural language and get a draft workflow with proposed stepsupdate_draft— Edit a draft workflow's name, description, or steps based on feedbackconfirm_draft— Finalize a draft workflow (DRAFT → PENDING), optionally saving as a reusable templatecreate_workflow— Create a custom workflow from an explicit step list when no template fitslist_workflows— View all built-in and custom YAML workflow templatesget_skill_catalog— Browse all available VMware skills and tools to use as workflow building blocks
Planning & Execution
plan_workflow— Generate an execution plan from a built-in template (e.g.,clone_and_test,incident_response,compliance_scan)run_workflow— Execute a planned workflow; pauses at approval gates for human reviewapprove— Resume a workflow paused at an approval gate (recorded in audit log)rollback— Abort a workflow and reverse completed steps in reverse ordercancel_workflow— Permanently cancel a workflow (e.g., after a rejected approval)
Monitoring & Review
review_workflow— Sanity-check a workflow before execution: detects conflicts, missing params, ungated destructive steps, and risk profileget_workflow_status— Query full workflow state, step-by-step diff report, and complete audit log
Provides multi-step workflow orchestration for VMware MCP skills, developed by an engineer at Broadcom (formerly VMware), enabling state machines, approval gates, and audit trails across the VMware ecosystem.
Provides multi-step workflow orchestration for VMware MCP skills, including VM lifecycle, cluster management, monitoring, storage, networking, security, Tanzu Kubernetes, NSX, Aria, and AVI load balancing, with state machine, approval gates, and audit trail.

vmware-pilot mcp # start the MCP server (stdio)Offline / Air-Gapped Install (from source)
This project uses the modern PEP 517 build system (hatchling), so there is no
setup.py by design — that is expected, not a missing file. If you cloned the
source and hit ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found ... editable mode currently requires a setuptools-based build, your pip is older than 21.3 and
cannot do an editable (-e) install with a non-setuptools backend. Editable
mode is a developer convenience, not needed to run the tool — do one of:
# From the source tree — a normal (non-editable) install builds a wheel:
pip install . # NOT pip install -e .
# ...or upgrade pip first, and editable works too:
pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -e .For a truly air-gapped host, build the wheels on a connected machine and copy them over — the target then needs no network:
# On a connected machine, collect this package + its dependencies as wheels:
pip wheel . -w dist # → dist/*.whl (or: uv build, for just this package)
# Copy dist/ to the air-gapped host, then install offline:
pip install --no-index --find-links dist vmware-pilotRelated MCP server: vmware-harden

Tool | Description |
| List all available skills and tools for workflow design |
| List built-in and custom templates |
| Sanity-check a planned workflow before execution |
| Natural language goal → draft workflow |
| Edit draft workflow steps |
| Finalize draft → ready to execute |
| Generate execution plan from template, returns workflow_id |
| Create custom workflow from step list |
| Execute workflow, pauses at approval gates |
| Query state + diff report + audit log |
| Human approval, continue execution |
| Abort and rollback at any stage |
| Cancel a workflow — move it to the terminal CANCELLED state |
MCP Configuration

"command": "vmware-pilot",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}Fallback:
{"command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "vmware-pilot", "vmware-pilot-mcp"]}still works, butuvxre-resolves against PyPI on every start and fails behind a TLS-inspecting corporate proxy (invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer). The installed entry point above touches the network zero times; setUV_NATIVE_TLS=trueif you must useuvx.
