Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add vmware-nsx-security -- uvx vmware-nsx-security
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-nsx-security": {
      "args": [
        "vmware-nsx-security"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.vmware-nsx-security]
command = "uvx"
args = ["vmware-nsx-security"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-nsx-security": {
      "args": [
        "vmware-nsx-security"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-nsx-security": {
      "args": [
        "vmware-nsx-security"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: VMWARE_NSX_SECURITY_CONFIG (Path to the config file. Defaults to ~/.vmware-nsx-security/config.yaml.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

VMware NSX Security — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for VMware NSX Security?
VMware NSX Security 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 vmware-nsx-security was installed 1 667 times last week.
How do I connect VMware NSX Security?
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 vmware-nsx-security straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use VMware NSX Security?
The pypi package vmware-nsx-security was installed 1 667 times in the last week. Week over week that is -17%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is VMware NSX Security open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 4 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
