You run an MCP server that exposes VMware Fusion VM management as MCP tools, letting you list VMs, fetch details, perform power actions, and check power states from any MCP-enabled client or AI assistant.

How to use

You connect an MCP client to the VMware Fusion MCP Server to access VM management capabilities. Use the available MCP tools to list all registered VMs, retrieve detailed information on a specific VM, perform power actions such as turning a VM on or off, and query the current power state of a VM. Tools are designed to be used from your preferred MCP-enabled environment or AI agent, enabling automation and scripted workflows without diving into REST API calls.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have a VMware Fusion Pro installation with REST API enabled, Python 3.10 or newer, and either uv or pip installed. If you plan to integrate with IDEs or agents, you can also use uvx.

How to install

# Step 1: Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/yeahdongcn/vmware-fusion-mcp-server.git
cd vmware-fusion-mcp-server

# Step 2: Create and activate the environment, then install dependencies
make env

# Step 3: Ensure VMware Fusion REST API is enabled and running (details below)

How to install

Step 4: Run the MCP server with credentials for the VMware Fusion REST API. The following commands show two common options.

How to install

# Run with explicit environment variables
VMREST_USER=your-username VMREST_PASS=your-password make run

# Or run with uvx for VS Code/LLM integration
VMREST_USER=your-username VMREST_PASS=your-password uvx vmware-fusion-mcp-server

Other setup notes

VMware Fusion REST API defaults to http://localhost:8697 when REST API is enabled. You must configure authentication for the API using the following environment variables.

Configuration and usage details

Configure authentication for the vmrest API using these environment variables. They are required if authentication is enabled.

  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-fusion": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["vmware-fusion-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VMREST_USER": "your-username",
        "VMREST_PASS": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Security notes

Keep your VMREST_USER and VMREST_PASS credentials secure. Do not commit them to version control or share them in unsecured channels. Rotate credentials regularly and use scoped access where possible.
