Homelab MCP

A modular MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for homelab service management. Provides unified access to multiple homelab services through a single MCP interface.

Features

• Modular Architecture: Enable only the services you need
• Unified Health Checks: Monitor all services from one endpoint
• Docker Ready: Easy deployment to Unraid, Proxmox, or Kubernetes
• Extensible: Easy to add new service integrations

Supported Services

Service	Description	Status
Nginx Proxy Manager	Reverse proxy management, SSL certificates	✅ Ready
Pi-hole	DNS ad-blocking, query stats	✅ Ready
Uptime Kuma	Service availability monitoring	✅ Ready
Portainer	Docker management across hosts	✅ Ready
UPS NUT	UPS power monitoring	✅ Ready

Quick Start

Adding New Services

1. Create a new directory under homelab_mcp/services/
2. Implement ServiceBase class with:
   • _create_client() - HTTP client setup
   • register_tools() - MCP tool registration
   • health_check() - Service health check
3. Add configuration model to core/config.py
4. Register in server.py

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client (e.g., Windsurf):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "homelab": {
      "serverType": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://192.168.1.100:6971/mcp"
    }
  }
}
