Homelab Server

Model Context Protocol server for homelab management Give AI agents access to your homelab: Docker, Ollama, system stats, and more.

What Is This?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes homelab tools to AI agents like Claude, GPT, or any MCP-compatible client. Instead of writing scripts yourself, just ask your AI agent to manage your infrastructure.

Example conversations:

• "List all running Docker containers"
• "How much RAM is Ollama using?"
• "Pull the llama3 model"
• "Show me disk usage on the server"

Tools Provided

Docker Management

Tool	Description
docker_ps	List running containers
docker_logs	Get container logs
docker_restart	Restart a container
docker_stop	Stop a container
docker_stats	Resource usage (CPU, RAM, network)

Ollama / LLM Management

Tool	Description
ollama_list	List installed models
ollama_pull	Pull a new model
ollama_ps	Show running models and memory usage
ollama_generate	Run a quick inference test

System Monitoring

Tool	Description
system_stats	CPU, RAM, disk, uptime
disk_usage	Detailed disk usage by mount
network_status	Network interfaces and connections
process_top	Top processes by CPU/RAM

Quick Start

With Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client

Add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "homelab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-server-homelab"]
    }
  }
}

With OpenClaw

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "homelab": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["path/to/mcp-homelab-server/src/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Standalone (for testing)

git clone https://github.com/Proto-labs-rnd/mcp-homelab-server.git
cd mcp-homelab-server
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 src/server.py

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Docker (for Docker tools)
• Ollama (for LLM tools, optional)
• Linux/macOS (system stats rely on standard Unix tools)
