VMware-AIops

MCP.Pizza Chef: vmware-skills

VMware-AIops lets you monitor and manage your VMware vCenter and ESXi environments using AI-powered tools. It provides detailed health summaries, issue alerts, and investigation reports for VMs, hosts, and datastores. You can use it within apps like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code. Setup requires developer steps like command-line installs, but no special API keys are needed. It supports multi-vCenter estates and offers both read-only monitoring and full operational control.

⚡ Quick Investigation Reports (read-only)

Triage → investigate → act, all in one conversation. Five opinionated read-only reports aggregate and correlate server-side and hand back a high-signal result (never raw inventory), so you can decide where to look before changing anything. Each renders a self-contained offline HTML snapshot with --html (no external assets; drill-down detail collapses in native <details>, zero JavaScript). All delegate to the vmware-monitor library using AIops's own vCenter connection.

Question Command What it correlates
"What needs attention now?" across all vCenters vmware-aiops attention Every vCenter merged into one globally-ranked issue list; unreachable targets degrade gracefully
"Is anything on fire?" across all clusters vmware-aiops summary Every cluster's hosts + VM power + live CPU/mem + alarms → ranked top-N issues + per-cluster status
"What's happening around this VM?" vmware-aiops investigate vm <name> VM state + host + cluster + backing datastores + snapshots + alarms + performance + a merged event timeline
"What's happening around this host?" vmware-aiops investigate host <name> Host state + cluster + the VMs it runs + mounted datastores + alarms + performance + correlated timeline
"What's happening around this datastore?" vmware-aiops investigate datastore <name> Capacity/free + mounting hosts + VMs it backs + alarms + correlated timeline
