ProxmoxMCP-Plus
Use MCP and OpenAPI to safely control Proxmox VE VMs, LXCs, backups, and snapshots from LLMs and AI agents.
No outside reports on file
This tool gives AI direct power over your virtual machines, so improper setup, weak credentials, or prompt injection attacks could let someone destroy VMs or steal data.

About ProxmoxMCP-Plus
ProxmoxMCP-Plus lets AI assistants control virtual machines and containers running on Proxmox VE (a server virtualization platform). It uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) and OpenAPI to let language models safely perform tasks like starting VMs, creating backups, and managing snapshots without direct access to the Proxmox system.
Who it’s for
DevOps engineers and system administrators who want to automate Proxmox management through AI agents and chatbots. Teams that need to give AI tools controlled access to their virtualization infrastructure.
Alternatives
- Terraform Proxmox Provider: Declarative infrastructure-as-code tool for managing Proxmox resources (not AI-focused). - Ansible Proxmox Modules: Automation platform with built-in Proxmox support for orchestrating VMs. - Custom REST API integrations: Direct API calls with your own access controls and audit logging.
Setup
Check these steps against the project’s own instructions before running anything.
Follow the project's README on GitHub at https://github.com/RekklesNA/ProxmoxMCP-Plus (opens external site) for detailed installation and configuration instructions specific to your setup.
Why this grade

Risks to watch for
- API token exposure: The connector needs valid Proxmox credentials; if leaked, attackers can control all your VMs and containers. - Overpowered permissions: If the API token has admin access, an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously delete VMs or backups. - Prompt injection: An attacker could embed hidden commands in user prompts to trick the AI into performing dangerous operations like wiping backups. - Unencrypted communication: If not set up with HTTPS/TLS properly, login credentials and commands could be intercepted on the network. - No built-in audit trail: The connector may not log all actions, making it hard to detect who did what if something goes wrong.
How to lower the risk
Least-privilege permissions
- Create a dedicated Proxmox API token with only the minimum permissions needed (e.g., VM start/stop, not delete). - Never use the root or full-admin account token for AI agents.
Network isolation
- Run the MCP connector on a trusted, isolated network segment. - Restrict which IP addresses can connect to your Proxmox API.
Monitoring
- Log and review all API calls made by the AI agent regularly. - Set up alerts for unusual VM operations like mass deletions or backup removals.
Red flags to watch for
- Unexpected AI requests to delete VMs or disable backups without your input. - Error messages showing raw credentials or API tokens in logs.
