Proxmox Mcp
About

Explore
- Single multi-arch Docker image (amd64 + arm64)
- Configuration via environment variables only, no files or database
- Read-only by default; destructive operations require an explicit risk level
- Tiny codebase: pure stdio MCP over the Proxmoxer library
- Raw JSON output, no formatting or emoji, optimized for LLM consumption

MCP server for managing Proxmox VE
38 tools — nodes, QEMU VMs, LXC containers, storage, cluster, snapshots.
Why this one?
- One image, multi-arch —
docker run ghcr.io/akmalovaa/proxmox-mcp:latest and you're done- Just env vars — no config files, no database, no state
- Read-only by default — destructive ops are gated behind an explicit
PROXMOX_RISK_LEVEL- Tiny codebase — pure stdio MCP over Proxmoxer, no HTTP server, no auth layer, no extras
- Raw JSON out — no formatting, no emoji; LLM gets clean data
Quick start
Image:
ghcr.io/akmalovaa/proxmox-mcp:latest (multi-arch: amd64 + arm64).1. Export credentials in your shell profile (
~/.zprofile, ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):``
bash
base environment:
export PROXMOX_HOST=192.168.1.100
export PROXMOX_USER=root@pam
export PROXMOX_PASSWORD=your-password
or use token auth (recommended):
export PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME=mcp
export PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
optional:
export PROXMOX_RISK_LEVEL=read
`
Reload: (or restart the shell).
2. Add to ~/.claude/settings.json (Claude Code) or claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop):
`json

"-e", "PROXMOX_HOST",
"-e", "PROXMOX_USER",
"-e", "PROXMOX_PASSWORD",
"ghcr.io/akmalovaa/proxmox-mcp:latest"]
}
}
}
`
or token auth:

"-e", "PROXMOX_HOST",
"-e", "PROXMOX_USER",
"-e", "PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME",
"-e", "PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE",
