Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `vmware-monitor` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Python 3.10+** — Required
- **uv** — Python package manager Run: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`
- **VMware config file** — Create ~/.vmware-monitor/config.yaml with vCenter/ESXi targets Run: `uv tool install vmware-monitor && mkdir -p ~/.vmware-monitor && cp config.example.yaml ~/.vmware-monitor/config.yaml`

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `uvx`
- args: ["--from","vmware-monitor","vmware-monitor-mcp"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `VMWARE_MONITOR_CONFIG`: Path to config.yaml (example: `/path/to/config.yaml`)

Note: Read-only VMware vCenter/ESXi monitoring. 8 tools, zero destructive operations in codebase. Tools: inventory vms/hosts/datastores/clusters/networks, health alarms/events, VM info, snapshot list. Passwords stored in .env file only.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
