VMware VDI (Horizon)

AI-powered intelligent operations for VMware / Omnissa Horizon VDI — manage desktop pools, RDS farms, published apps, user sessions, desktop machines, entitlements, instant-clone images, and Horizon events/health/statistics through the Horizon 8 Connection Server REST API. Ships as both an MCP server (for AI agents) and a CLI (for help-desk and scripting). Part of the VMware skill family.

Disclaimer: Community-maintained open-source project, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by VMware, Inc., Broadcom Inc., or Omnissa, LLC. "VMware", "Horizon", and "Omnissa" are trademarks of their respective owners. Source is publicly auditable under the MIT license.

Status: v1.0.0 (beta). REST endpoints are verified against the official Horizon Server API; GET-response field projections are defensive and pending validation against a live Connection Server (a field-name mismatch yields empty results, not a crash — see the beta note).

Why vmware-vdi

Every other VMware family skill stops at the vСenter VM. A Horizon desktop pool sits on those VMs — so vmware-aiops can reset the backing VM, but it cannot see a user session, log a user off, disable a pool, or push a golden image. vmware-vdi fills exactly that day-2 VDI gap — "who is stuck on a broken desktop", "log this user off so their profile unlocks", "why is this pool not provisioning", "push the patched image to Finance tonight" — with the family's governed-ops harness: every write is audited, previews its blast radius, and is authorized by the Horizon account's own RBAC role.

Capabilities — 27 MCP tools (16 read / 11 write)

Category	Tools
Monitoring	health summary · session list/get · machine list/get · event list
Statistics	session concurrency stats · per-pool utilization
Management	pool list/get · farm list · app-pool list · entitlement list · image list · AD search · pool enable/disable · entitlement add/remove
Ops actions	session logoff / disconnect / message · machine reset / maintenance / remove
Tasks	task status · image push · task cancel

Reads are strictly non-destructive. Writes preview their blast radius, double-confirm at the CLI, and are audit-logged to ~/.vmware/audit.db. pool_push_image recreates every desktop in a pool — the highest single-call blast radius in the family — and its preview states affected-desktop and in-session-user counts before any confirm.

Quick start

uv tool install vmware-vdi
vmware-vdi init      # friendly wizard: connect to a Connection Server + discover your pools
vmware-vdi doctor    # verify config / credentials / connectivity
vmware-vdi health    # one-glance VDI health

vmware-vdi init prompts for the Connection Server host, admin username, AD domain, and password; writes ~/.vmware-vdi/config.yaml + a 0600 .env (password obfuscated); tests the login; and on success discovers your pools, machines, and sessions with the next commands to try.

Example workflows

Help-desk — a user's desktop is stuck

vmware-vdi session list --user alice
vmware-vdi machine list --state AGENT_UNREACHABLE
vmware-vdi session logoff --user alice --dry-run   # preview which sessions
vmware-vdi session logoff --user alice             # double-confirm, then logs off + audits

Patch night — push a new golden image

vmware-vdi image list
vmware-vdi pool push-image --id pool-fin --dry-run  # BLAST RADIUS: N desktops, M logged-in users
vmware-vdi pool push-image --id pool-fin            # double-confirm; returns a task
vmware-vdi task status --pool pool-fin              # track progress
