Details

From the project README

libvirt-mcp

This is an experimental mcp server for libvirt. The following lines explain how to use it with mcp-cli and ollama. First, install mcp-cli:

git clone https://github.com/chrishayuk/mcp-cli
pip3.11 install -e ".[cli,dev]"

Then, install ollama:

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
ollama serve >/dev/null 2>&1  &
ollama pull granite3.2:8b-instruct-q8_0

You need also uv:

pip install uv

You need the following python bindings:

dnf install -y libvirt-devel python3-devel

Then, in the libvirt-mcp directory, first install the dependencies by running:

uv sync

Then, edit server_config.json and set up the correct path to the libvirt-mcp server. Finally, execute run.sh, that uses ollama as provider and granite as model.

Demo

For debugging, you can install mcp:

dnf install -y npm
pip install mcp

And then, run:

mcp dev setup.py

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
