Tools
This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.
Environment variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
KVM_PILOT_PROFILEOptional | Profile name from ~/.config/kvm-pilot/config.toml naming the KVM/BMC to target |
KVM_PILOT_MCP_READ_ONLYOptional | Least-privilege posture: only read-only tools are registered; effect gates force-closed. Recommended for first contact (set to 1) |
KVM_PILOT_MCP_DRY_RUNOptional | Rehearsal posture: destructive calls are logged, never sent (set to 1) |
KVM_PILOT_MCP_ALLOW_POWEROptional | Operator opt-in enabling power control of the managed host (per-effect gate; see also _ALLOW_HID, _ALLOW_MEDIA, _ALLOW_SSH, _ALLOW_APPLIANCE, _ALLOW_EXTERNAL_WRITE) |
KVM_PILOT_HOSTOptional | Device address (KVM/BMC) when not using a config-file profile |
KVM_PILOT_USEROptional | Device username when not using a config-file profile |
KVM_PILOT_PASSWDOptional, secret | Device password when not using a config-file profile (KVM_PILOT_HOST / KVM_PILOT_USER accompany it) |
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYOptional, secret | Optional: enables server-side vision for classify_screen / wait_for_state; without it, classification falls back to the calling agent |
