What is the TrueNAS SCALE MCP Server?

TrueNAS SCALE is an MCP integration. Inspect and manage TrueNAS SCALE storage, shares, apps and system state with your own API key.

Packages and local setup

The published oci package is ghcr.io/cedricziel/truenas-mcp:0.4.2. Its declared MCP transport is streamable-http.

The package declares TRUENAS_MCP_TARGET (required): TrueNAS host to manage, optionally host:port. Requires TrueNAS SCALE 25.04 or later.; TRUENAS_MCP_ALLOW_PLAINTEXT: Serve MCP without TLS. Set here because the listener is published on loopback only; drop it and supply TRUENAS_MCP_TLS_CERT/KEY if the port is reachable from elsewhere.; TRUENAS_MCP_TARGET_INSECURE: Accept the TrueNAS certificate unverified while keeping the connection encrypted. TrueNAS ships a self-signed certificate for CN=localhost, so no address you can reach it by will validate.; TRUENAS_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES: Expose the mutating tools. Read-only by default; unrecoverable operations stay unreachable either way..

This package has launch arguments in its registry record. Use the maintainer’s configuration for those arguments rather than launching it with only the package name.

Before connecting

Check the maintainer’s instructions for account access, authentication and the supported client configuration. Once connected, inspect the tools your client receives and try a small task that matches the server’s stated purpose. The registry description does not include a verified, complete tool list.
