Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Proxmox VE every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PROXMOX_HOST (Proxmox host IP or hostname.), PROXMOX_PORT (Proxmox API port.), PROXMOX_VERIFY_SSL (Verify the TLS certificate. Proxmox self-signs by default.), PROXMOX_TIMEOUT (Seconds to wait for each Proxmox API request.), PROXMOX_USER (API user, including the realm.), PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME (API token name. Use this plus PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE, or PROXMOX_PASSWORD.), PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE (API token secret.), PROXMOX_PASSWORD (Password, used only when no API token is set.), PROXMOX_RISK_LEVEL (Which tools exist: read-only, plus lifecycle, or everything.), PROXMOX_TOOLS_ALLOW (Comma-separated tool names to register, intersected with the risk level. Unset = all of them.), PROXMOX_REDACT_SECRETS (Mask cipassword and sshkeys in every response.), PROXMOX_MCP_TRANSPORT (stdio (default) or streamable-http.), PROXMOX_MCP_HOST (HTTP bind address. Anything but loopback also needs PROXMOX_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS.), PROXMOX_MCP_PORT (HTTP port.), PROXMOX_MCP_PATH (Streamable HTTP endpoint path.), PROXMOX_MCP_JSON_RESPONSE (Answer with JSON instead of an SSE stream.), PROXMOX_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS (Comma-separated Host headers to accept over HTTP; '*' disables the check.), PROXMOX_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (Comma-separated browser origins allowed to call the endpoint. Empty = same-origin only.), SENTRY_DSN (Optional: report tool traces and errors to Sentry. Unset disables it.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Proxmox VE — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Proxmox VE?
Proxmox VE runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package proxmox-ve-mcp was installed 1 382 times last week.
How do I connect Proxmox VE?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls proxmox-ve-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Proxmox VE?
The pypi package proxmox-ve-mcp was installed 1 382 times in the last week. Week over week that is +4666%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Proxmox VE open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
