Implementation Reference
- vmware_fusion_mcp/server.py:22-25 (handler)The MCP tool handler for 'list_vms', registered via @mcp.tool decorator. It calls the internal _list_vms_impl function to perform the listing.
@mcp.tool async def list_vms() -> Dict[str, Any]: """List all VMs in VMware Fusion.""" return await _list_vms_impl() - vmware_fusion_mcp/server.py:15-19 (helper)Helper function that creates a VMwareClient instance and calls list_vms() on it, wrapping the result in a dict.
async def _list_vms_impl() -> Dict[str, Any]: """List all VMs in VMware Fusion.""" async with VMwareClient(username=VMREST_USER, password=VMREST_PASS) as client: vms = await client.list_vms() return {"vms": vms} # type: ignore[no-any-return] - Core implementation in VMwareClient that makes an HTTP GET request to /api/vms endpoint to fetch the list of VMs from Fusion REST API.
async def list_vms(self) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]: """List all VMs. Returns: List of VM dictionaries with basic information """ try: response = await self._client.get( f"{self.base_url}/api/vms", headers=self._auth_header, ) response.raise_for_status() result: List[Dict[str, Any]] = response.json() return result except httpx.RequestError as e: raise Exception(f"Failed to connect to VMware Fusion API: {e}") except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e: raise Exception( f"VMware Fusion API error: {e.response.status_code} - " f"{e.response.text}" )
