Original Reddit post

Been using CC as my VMware ops interface for a few weeks now. Instead of clicking through vSphere Client, I just type what I want — “show all powered-off VMs”, “create a snapshot for web-server-01”, “check alarms on prod-vcenter” —and it handles the pyVmomi calls. Two skills, split by permission level:

https://github.com/zw008/VMware-Monitor — read-only. Zero destructive code in the codebase. Inventory, alarms, events, sensors.

https://github.com/zw008/VMware-AIops — full ops. Power, snapshot, clone, vMotion, vSAN, Aria Operations. Destructive actions need double confirmation. The split makes permission control easy — give your NOC the monitor skill, senior admins get aiops. MCP is dialed in. CC talks directly to the Python backend — no shelling out to CLI, no “allow this?” prompts for every read query. Just ask and get answers. Both MIT licensed.
