Question 1

What does MCP Nutanix do vs official Nutanix tools?

Accepted Answer

It is an experimental MCP server that exposes Prism Central read operations to LLMs, not a production tool. It is unsupported and not endorsed by Nutanix.

Question 2

What are the runtime requirements?

Accepted Answer

Go 1.23 or higher and access to a Nutanix Prism Central instance. The server builds from source; no pre‑compiled binaries are provided.

Question 3

How are credentials provided to MCP Nutanix?

Accepted Answer

Interactive clients (e.g., Claude) prompt for endpoint, username, password. Non‑interactive clients (e.g., Cursor) use environment variables: `NUTANIX_ENDPOINT`, `NUTANIX_USERNAME`, `NUTANIX_PASSWORD`, and optionally `NUTANIX_INSEcure`.

Question 4

What credentials does it need?

Accepted Answer

It reads `NUTANIX_ENDPOINT`, `NUTANIX_USERNAME`, `NUTANIX_PASSWORD`, `NUTANIX_INSECURE` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

Variable	Description	Required
NUTANIX_ENDPOINT	Configuration value read at startup.	Optional
NUTANIX_USERNAME	Configuration value read at startup.	Optional
NUTANIX_PASSWORD	Configuration value read at startup.	Optional
NUTANIX_INSECURE	Configuration value read at startup.	Optional
