Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server VMware Storage for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check uv with uv --version. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "vmware-storage": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "vmware-storage", "mcp" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the VMware Storage tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is VMware Storage safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (2.6.2) reached the registry 6 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

VMware-Storage

Understand datastore capacity and storage paths before making changes.

English · 简体中文

Community-maintained · MIT · Not an official VMware/Broadcom product.

Synthetic-data GIF; video includes redacted historical screenshots. Download the AI-narrated family introduction (~3 min)

Why use it?

Inspect datastores, files and deployment images.
Read capacity, health and FC/device-path evidence.
Manage supported iSCSI configuration explicitly.

Get started

Install the published CLI and inspect its commands:

uv tool install vmware-storage==2.6.2

vmware-storage --help

Requires uv and Python >=3.10. Configure targets and credentials locally before remote queries. Setup guide.

For agent-host installation, use the setup guide and Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cline and local-model examples.

Choose a model with the shared model-fit workflow: compare the same tasks, review quality and safety, then select the smallest tested passing configuration per task group; this is not a production guarantee.

Know the boundaries

Includes iSCSI configuration writes. Inventory and path evidence do not establish unmeasured historical trends or universal array compatibility.
