Community-maintained MCP server for managing Unraid, offering a rich toolset, but requiring attention to permissions and risks.
Unraid MCP server (unraid-mcp) provides tools to interact with an Unraid server's GraphQL API, enabling system info, Docker containers, VMs, array/parity, notifications, plugins, rclone, and live telemetry.
Tools
unraid_query
A generic tool to query Unraid server status and perform management actions
Setup
Run with uvx: uvx unraid-mcp, set environment variables UNRAID_API_URL and UNRAID_API_KEY.
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users requiring official vendor support (community-maintained)
- Users needing a graphical interface
Required permissions
- Requires UNRAID_API_URL (required)
- Requires UNRAID_API_KEY (required, secret)
Risks and side effects
- Exposes API key; potential unauthorized access if leaked
- Some actions (like array start/stop) can affect data availability
Troubleshooting
- Verify UNRAID_API_URL is correct (e.g., http://192.168.1.100)
- Confirm UNRAID_API_KEY is valid
- Ensure the Unraid server is reachable from the MCP host
- If using a self-signed certificate, you may need to skip TLS verification (not explicitly documented for Python version)
