LXD MCP Server for container management
An MCP server that bridges between an LLM and LXD containers on the same host.
The package will autmatically start a daemon listening on port 8005 by default. Point your LLM to http://127.0.0.1:8005/mcp in its MCP settings and make sure to connect the lxd interface for this snap with:
sudo snap connect lxd-mcp-server:lxd lxd:lxd
So that the bridge can actually talk to your lxd instance.
The MCP server provides 8 tools to your LLM that you can use:
- list_containers (lists existing containers)
- create_container (creates a new container, with <name> and <release>)
- start_container (fires up the named container)
- stop_container (stops the named container)
- delete_container (deletes a container)
- run_in_container (runs a command inside the container)
- push_to_container (copies single files into the container)
- pull_from_container (copies single files out of the container)
There are also two config options you can use with snap set:
- port (defaults to 8005)
- debug (defaults ot being off)
Note that you might need to enable the built in LLM proxy in some LLMs (i.e. in llama-server this is the "Use llama-server proxy" option in the llama-ui)
