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-vdi -- uvx vmware-vdi
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-vdi": {
      "args": [
        "vmware-vdi"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.vmware-vdi]
command = "uvx"
args = ["vmware-vdi"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-vdi": {
      "args": [
        "vmware-vdi"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-vdi": {
      "args": [
        "vmware-vdi"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

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

VMware VDI (Horizon) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for VMware VDI (Horizon)?
VMware VDI (Horizon) 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-vdi was installed 3 372 times last week.
How do I connect VMware VDI (Horizon)?
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-vdi straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use VMware VDI (Horizon)?
The pypi package vmware-vdi was installed 3 372 times in the last week. Week over week that is +155%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is VMware VDI (Horizon) open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 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.
