A MCP server for managing VMware Fusion VMs via REST API
Vmware MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A MCP server for managing VMware Fusion VMs via REST API.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing VMware Fusion virtual machines via the Fusion REST API, built with FastMCP.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at vmware-fusion-mcp-server on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Vmware is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
list_vms — The list_vms tool exposed by this serverget_vm_info — The get_vm_info tool exposed by this serverpower_vm — The power_vm tool exposed by this serverget_vm_power_state — The get_vm_power_state tool exposed by this serverLint — The Lint tool exposed by this serverYou will need 2 environment variables: VMREST_USER, VMREST_PASS. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Vmware's toolset — list_vms, get_vm_info, power_vm and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
This entry was verified against Vmware's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
