01 · Install VMware Storage

before you install - you'll need

Set VMWARE_STORAGE_CONFIG before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add zw008-vmware-storage -- uvx vmware-storage

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zw008-vmware-storage": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "vmware-storage"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
