Features

✅ Project-Scoped Operations: Every tool enforces the configured OS_PROJECT_NAME, validating resource ownership so actions stay inside a single tenant.

✅ Safety-Gated Writes: Modify (set_*) tooling only registers when ALLOW_MODIFY_OPERATIONS=true, keeping default deployments read-only and auditable.

✅ 90+ Purpose-Built Tools: Broad coverage across compute, networking, storage, images, identity, Heat, and Octavia load balancing tasks—all constrained to the current project.

✅ Bulk & Filtered Actions: Instance, volume, network, image, snapshot, and keypair managers accept comma-delimited targets or filter criteria to orchestrate bulk changes intentionally.

✅ Post-Action Feedback & Async Guidance: Mutating tools reuse a shared result handler that adds emoji status checks, asynchronous timing notes, and follow-up verification commands.

✅ Monitoring & Usage Insights: get_service_status, get_resource_monitoring, get_usage_statistics, and quota tools surface service availability, utilization, and capacity for the active project.

✅ Unified Instance Queries: The get_instance tool consolidates name, ID, status, and free-form search paths with pagination plus summary/detailed modes.

✅ Server Insight & Audit Trail: Dedicated tools expose server events, hypervisor details, availability zones, quotas, and resource ownership to speed diagnostics.

✅ Load Balancer Management: Octavia tools cover listeners, pools, members, health monitors, flavors, quotas, and amphora operations with the same safety gates.

✅ Connection & Deployment Flexibility: Connection caching, configurable service endpoints, Docker packaging, and both stdio/streamable-http transports support proxy/bastion and multi-project setups.

⚠️ Compatibility Notice: This MCP server is developed and optimized for OpenStack Epoxy (2025.1) as the primary target environment. However, it is compatible with most modern OpenStack releases (Dalmatian, Caracal, Bobcat, etc.) as the majority of APIs remain consistent across versions. Only a few specific API endpoints may require adaptation for full compatibility with older releases.

🚧 Coming Soon: Dynamic multi-version OpenStack API compatibility is actively under development and will be available in upcoming releases, providing seamless support for all major OpenStack deployments automatically.

🔧 OpenStackSDK Version Customization for Older Releases

Officially Supported Releases:

✅ OpenStack Epoxy (2025.1) - Fully tested

✅ OpenStack Dalmatian (2024.2) - Fully tested

For older OpenStack releases (Wallaby, Caracal, Bobcat, etc.), you may need to customize the OpenStackSDK version to match your environment. The SDK version must be changed in BOTH files:
