Connect Proxmoxmcp Plus to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. An enhanced Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Proxmox virtualization platforms. This project extends canvrno/ProxmoxMCP with additional features including. The proxmoxmcp plus mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Prerequisites — Before starting, ensure you have: - [ ] Proxmox server hostname or IP - [ ] Proxmox API token (see API Token Setup) - [ ]create_vm — VM Configuration: - Name: my-vm - Node: pve - VM ID: 200 - CPU Cores: 1 - Memory: 2048 MB (2.0 GB) - Disk: 10 GB (local-lvm, raw format) - Storagelist_snapshots — The list_snapshots tool exposed by this servercreate_snapshot — { "node": "pve", "vmid": "100", "snapname": "pre-upgrade", "description": "Before system upgrade", "vmstate": true }delete_snapshot — The delete_snapshot tool exposed by this serverrollback_snapshot — The rollback_snapshot tool exposed by this serverget_containers — nginx-server (ID: 200) - Status: RUNNING - Node: pve - CPU Cores: 2 - Memory: 1.5 GB / 2.0 GB (75.0%)create_container — The create_container tool exposed by this serverdelete_container — The delete_container tool exposed by this serverlist_backups — The list_backups tool exposed by this servercreate_backup — { "node": "pve", "vmid": "100", "storage": "backup-storage", "compress": "zstd", "mode": "snapshot", "notes": "Weekly backup" }restore_backup — The restore_backup tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: PYTHONPATH, PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG, PROXMOX_HOST, PROXMOX_USER, PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME, PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE, PROXMOX_PORT, PROXMOX_VERIFY_SSL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
pip install uv)The server ships on PyPI as mcpo, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Plenty of file and storage access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Proxmoxmcp Plus's toolset — Prerequisites, create_vm, list_snapshots and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by rodaddy; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
