HomeLab Monitor

Overview

HomeLab Monitor is a self-hosted homelab dashboard with a built-in read-only MCP server that exposes your infrastructure as tools for AI assistants. It monitors hosts, Docker containers, GPU resources, and services, letting Claude and other models query your homelab setup directly.

The server runs locally via Docker image docker.io/sikamikaniko123/homelab-monitor:0.14.2 and communicates over stdio. You'll need to set the HOMELAB_MONITOR_URL environment variable to connect it to your dashboard. No authentication is required. Released under the MIT license, the project lives at SikamikanikoBG/homelab-monitor on GitHub with 191 stars.

HomeLab Monitor appears in the Cloud Service category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. Maintainers can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
