Put your own values in place of <ESXI_HOST> (ESXi host (or vCenter) IP or hostname), <ESXI_USER> (ESXi user with a read-only role. Store its password with 'esxi-readonly-mcp --set-password'). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: ESXI_PASSWORD (Optional: password in plain text if the OS keyring is not available (not recommended)), ESXI_PORT (API port (default 443)), ESXI_VERIFY_SSL (Set to 1 to verify the TLS certificate (default 0, accepts ESXi self-signed certs)).

ESXi Read-Only Diagnostics — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ESXi Read-Only Diagnostics?

ESXi Read-Only Diagnostics 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 esxi-readonly-mcp was installed 137 times last week.

How do I connect ESXi Read-Only Diagnostics?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls esxi-readonly-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use ESXi Read-Only Diagnostics?

The pypi package esxi-readonly-mcp was installed 137 times in the last week. Week over week that is +32%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is ESXi Read-Only Diagnostics open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 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.
