Unraid

PyPI ghcr.io

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.

Repo name. This repo was renamed unraid-mcp → unraid on 2026-07-27, and the former standalone runraid and incus-unraid repos were merged in here. Some deployed plugin install/update URLs still depend on the old-name redirect; migrating those runtime URLs requires a deliberate release. The PyPI package, the container image, the Claude plugin, and the Unraid .plg are all still named unraid-mcp — only the repo changed.

Components

PathWhat it isToolchainBuild / test
unraid-py/unraid-mcp — Python MCP server (GraphQL), the flagship. Published to PyPI as unraid-mcp.Python / uv / hatchlingcd unraid-py && uv run pytest && uv build --wheel
unraid-rs/runraid — Rust MCP server + CLI (single static binary). Crate unraid-rmcp on crates.io, plus the compatibility npm launcher @dinglebear/unraid.Rust / cargocd unraid-rs && cargo fmt --check && cargo clippy --all-targets --features test-support -- -D warnings && cargo test
plugins/mcp/Unraid OS plugin that ships the Rust runraid MCP server onto an Unraid box.shell .plg + Rust + Vuebash plugins/mcp/scripts/build-txz.sh <ver> <runraid-binary>
plugins/incus/Unraid OS plugin running Incus system containers ("dev containers") firewalled off the LAN. Includes a NestJS/GraphQL unraid-api backend.shell .plg + NestJS/Vuecd plugins/incus && ./scripts/verify-classic-package.sh && ./tests/classic-contract.sh
plugins/codex/Unraid OS plugin embedding a Codex chathead app-server.shell .plg + Reactcd plugins/codex && ./tests/contract.sh
agents/unraid-py/Claude Code / Codex plugin (name: unraid-mcp) for the Python server.——
agents/unraid-rs/Claude Code / Codex plugin (name: runraid) for the Rust server.——

Install the agent plugins (one marketplace command, two manifests)

/plugin marketplace add dinglebear-ai/unraid
/plugin install unraid-mcp@unraid-mcp   # Python server
/plugin install runraid@unraid-mcp      # Rust server

The @unraid-mcp suffix is the marketplace name declared in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, not the repo name — it stays unraid-mcp even though the repo is now dinglebear-ai/unraid.

Both plugins are published from a single repo. Claude reads .claude-plugin/marketplace.json; Codex reads .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. meta-ci.yml asserts the two list the same plugin set, so they cannot drift.

marketplace add accepts the owner/repo shorthand (or a full git URL / local path). After install, Claude Code prompts for the connection settings (the plugin's userConfig).

Plugin credentials need no manual step

The agent plugins ship no Claude Code hooks, and none are needed: both .mcp.json files map your plugin settings into the server environment directly via ${user_config.*}. agents/unraid-rs wires endpoint, TLS, authentication, and tool-selector settings; agents/unraid-py wires UNRAID_API_URL and UNRAID_API_KEY. Set them in plugin settings and the server picks them up on next launch.

Optional, for non-plugin installs (systemd, Docker) that want ~/.unraid/.env written to disk:

runraid setup plugin-hook          # or: npx -y @dinglebear/unraid setup plugin-hook

unraid-py quickstart (Python MCP server)

The Python server is the flagship. Full documentation — installation, Claude Code / Codex / Gemini setup, configuration, authentication, guardrails, and the tool surface — lives in unraid-py/README.md and unraid-py/docs/. It publishes to PyPI as unraid-mcp (import package unraid_mcp) and launches with uvx unraid-mcp.

unraid-rs quickstart (Rust MCP server + CLI)

cargo install --path unraid-rs --locked     # from the repository root
# Configure UNRAID_API_URL and UNRAID_API_KEY privately before querying.
runraid setup check                        # inspect setup without repairing files
runraid array                              # read array state
runraid serve mcp                          # MCP HTTP (default :40010; configure auth)
Env varPurpose
UNRAID_API_URLUnraid GraphQL endpoint (required)
UNRAID_API_KEYx-api-key for the Unraid API (required)
UNRAID_API_SKIP_TLS_VERIFYAccept a self-signed Unraid cert (default false)
UNRAID_RMCP_HOST / UNRAID_RMCP_PORTMCP bind address (default 0.0.0.0:40010)
UNRAID_RMCP_TOKENStatic bearer token for /mcp
UNRAID_RMCP_AUTH_MODEbearer (default) or oauth

Full list and the OAuth variables: unraid-rs/AGENTS.md.

Not read-only. The Rust server exposes both queries and mutations. Read actions need the unraid:read scope; mutating actions (VM and Docker lifecycle, array start/stop, notification writes) need unraid:admin.

Development and documentation

Start with AGENTS.md, the canonical contributor guide. CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md are symlinks to it, including within components. The documentation index links to development and verification, architecture, and release procedures.

Rust MCP supports UNRAID_RMCP_PROJECTION=legacy (default), atomic, or both. All projections share enabled-action policy, scopes, and execution; atomic mode is not a second backend. See the Rust README for selectors and migration.

Releases

There are two release lanes. release-please manages only unraid-py and unraid-rs — the Python server keeps unprefixed vX.Y.Z tags (the existing audience's scheme) and Rust uses unraid-rs-vX.Y.Z. The Incus and Codex plugins do not use release-please: they are versioned by .github/scripts/plugin_calver.py with fixed-width YYYYMMDD.NNN versions and incus-v* / codex-v* tags (Unraid compares plugin versions as raw strings, so the fixed width is mandatory).

The native MCP plugin is built from the matching unraid-rs-vX.Y.Z tag, and Community Applications reads its rolling manifest from the unraid-plugin-latest release. Plugin .txz payloads ship as GitHub release assets, never tracked in git.
