TrueNAS MCP Server
Research Preview AvailableA Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TrueNAS that enables AI assistants like Claude to manage TrueNAS systems through natural language. The server runs as a native binary on your desktop and securely connects to your TrueNAS system without requiring any deployment to TrueNAS itself.
Key Features:
- System monitoring and health checks
- Storage pool, dataset, and snapshot management
- Virtual machine management
- Directory service integration (AD, LDAP, FreeIPA)
- Capacity planning and utilization analysis
- Application management with task tracking
- Dry-run mode and built-in safety validations
