• RESTful API interface with JSON-RPC support
• API key authentication
• Complete virtual machine lifecycle management
• Real-time performance monitoring
• SSL/TLS secure connection support
• Flexible configuration options (YAML/JSON/Environment Variables)

• Virtual Machine Management
• Create VM
• Clone VM
• Delete VM
• Power On/Off operations
• List all VMs
• Performance Monitoring
• CPU usage
• Memory usage
• Storage usage
• Network traffic statistics

• Python 3.7+
• pyVmomi
• PyYAML
• uvicorn
• mcp-core (Machine Control Protocol core library)

1. Install dependencies:

pip install pyvmomi pyyaml uvicorn mcp-core

1. Create configuration file config.yaml:

vcenter_host: "your-vcenter-ip"
vcenter_user: "administrator@vsphere.local"
vcenter_password: "your-password"
datacenter: "your-datacenter"        # Optional
cluster: "your-cluster"              # Optional
datastore: "your-datastore"          # Optional
network: "VM Network"                # Optional
insecure: true                       # Skip SSL certificate verification
api_key: "your-api-key"             # API access key
log_file: "./logs/vmware_mcp.log"   # Log file path
log_level: "INFO"                    # Log level

1. Run the server:

python server.py -c config.yaml

All privileged operations require authentication first:

POST /sse/messages
Authorization: Bearer your-api-key

1. Create VM

{
    "name": "vm-name",
    "cpu": 2,
    "memory": 4096,
    "datastore": "datastore-name",
    "network": "network-name"
}

1. Clone
