Unraid MCP

A monorepo of Unraid tooling: two MCP servers (Python and Rust) and three Unraid OS plugins, plus the Claude/Codex agent integrations that surface them. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with fastmcp, self hosted and claude code plugins and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Unraid MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add jmagar-unraid-mcp -- uvx unraid-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jmagar-unraid-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "unraid-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
