VMware Fusion MCP Server

Created By
yeahdongcna year ago
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing VMware Fusion virtual machines via the Fusion REST API, built with FastMCP.
Overview

Features

  • List VMs: View all VMs registered in VMware Fusion.
  • Get VM Info: Retrieve detailed information about a specific VM.
  • Power Operations: Perform power actions (on, off, suspend, pause, unpause, reset) on a VM.
  • Get Power State: Query the current power state of a VM.
  • Modern MCP/LLM Integration: Exposes all features as MCP tools for LLMs and agent frameworks.

Prerequisites

  • VMware Fusion Pro (with REST API enabled)
  • Python 3.10+
  • uv (recommended) or pip
  • uvx (for VS Code/LLM integration)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/yeahdongcn/vmware-fusion-mcp-server.git
    cd vmware-fusion-mcp-server
    
  2. Set up the environment and install dependencies:

    make env
    

VMware Fusion Setup

  1. Enable the REST API:

    • Open VMware Fusion > Preferences > Advanced
    • Check "Enable REST API"
    • Note the API port (default: 8697)
  2. Start the REST API service:

    vmrest
    

    The API will be available at http://localhost:8697 by default.


Configuration

The server connects to VMware Fusion's REST API at http://localhost:8697 by default. You must configure authentication for the vmrest API using environment variables:

  • VMREST_USER: Username for the vmrest API (required if authentication is enabled)
  • VMREST_PASS: Password for the vmrest API (required if authentication is enabled)

These must be set in your shell, in your VS Code MCP config, or in your deployment environment.

Example: MCP server config for VS Code with credentials

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-fusion": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["vmware-fusion-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VMREST_USER": "your-username",
        "VMREST_PASS": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Set VMREST_USER and VMREST_PASS to your vmrest credentials.

Server Config

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

Bring your real authenticated browser session to AI coding agents. Local-first MCP server + Chrome MV3 extension. No cloud. No telemetry.
@Cubenest

peek records the user's actual logged-in browser (DOM via rrweb, console events, network metadata, optional response bodies via opt-in Deep capture) through a Chrome MV3 extension. The extension ships events through a native-messaging stdio bridge to a local MCP server (peek-mcp), which persists them to a SQLite database at ~/.peek/sessions.db. AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf) read sessions from the database via 10 MCP tools: Tool What it does list_recent_sessions List recently recorded sessions (id, origin, ts, event count). get_session_summary LLM-readable narrative summary of a session. get_session_console_errors Console errors recorded in a session. get_session_network_errors Failed/notable network requests in a session. get_user_action_before_error Last N user actions before a console error. generate_playwright_repro Generate a runnable Playwright test from a session. get_dom_snapshot Reconstruct the DOM at a given timestamp. query_dom_history Timeline of attribute/text changes for a selector. request_authorization Side-panel consent for write actions (Level 3). execute_action Dispatch a UI action (gated by permission level + destructive blocklist). Why local-first matters Every other "browser session for AI" tool ships to a vendor cloud. peek's SQLite + extension live on the user's machine — no remote endpoints, no telemetry. The privacy policy (docs/peek/PRIVACY_POLICY.md) is the source of truth. Install # 1. Add the MCP server to Claude Code claude mcp add peek -- npx -y @peekdev/mcp # 2. Install the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store # (link added once the CWS listing is approved)
