mcp-nutanix

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Nutanix Prism Central APIs through Large Language Models (LLMs).

THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT

This project was created as a personal project to explore the capabilities of the Model Context Protocol frameworks in Go. It is:

• NOT an official Nutanix product or tool
• NOT supported, endorsed, or maintained by Nutanix
• NOT suitable for production environments
• PROVIDED AS-IS with no warranties or guarantees

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: The author takes no responsibility for any issues, damages, or outages that may result from using this code.

This MCP server allows LLMs to interact with Nutanix Prism Central by:

1. Connecting to a Prism Central instance with user credentials
2. Listing various resources (VMs, Clusters, Hosts, etc.)
3. Retrieving specific resource details via URI-based access

The implementation uses the Prism Go Client to communicate with Prism Central and the MCP Go library to implement the Model Context Protocol.

• Go 1.23 or higher
• Access to a Nutanix Prism Central instance
• Tools like make and go fmt for building

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/thunderboltsid/mcp-nutanix.git
cd mcp-nutanix

# Build the MCP server
make build

The server supports two credential methods:

1. Interactive credentials (default) - Works with Claude via MCP prompts
2. Static credentials - Required for tools like Cursor that don't support interactive prompts

To use this server with MCP clients, you need to configure the client to connect to the server.
