### Description (declared)

# proxmox-model-context-protocol

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an AI assistant such as Claude manage a
Proxmox VE hypervisor.

It has 118 tools for guests, snapshots, backups, storage, networking, firewall, SDN,
users and ACLs, node administration and commands inside guests. `pve_api_call` reaches
any other API endpoint. The server starts read-only.

**Status: alpha.** Tool names, parameters and configuration may change between
releases. Tested on single-node Proxmox VE 9.1 and 9.2.

The server uses an API token with full privileges. Proxmox VE does not limit what the
model can do with it; all safeguards described below run locally in this server. Keep
clients read-only unless they need to change things, and review `critical.env`.
