Quick Start with Claude Desktop

Get started quickly with the OpenStack MCP server using Claude Desktop

Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • OpenStack credentials configured in `clouds.yaml` file
  • Claude Desktop installed

1. Create or update your `clouds.yaml` file with your OpenStack credentials.

Example `clouds.yaml`:

yaml
clouds:
     openstack:
       auth:
         auth_url: https://your-openstack-auth-url.com
         username: your-username
         password: your-password
         project_name: your-project-name
         user_domain_name: Default
         project_domain_name: Default
       region_name: your-region
       interface: public
       identity_api_version: 3

2. Create or update your Claude Desktop configuration file:

    Using python

    json
    {
         "mcpServers": {
           "openstack-mcp-server": {
             "command": "/path/to/your/python",
             "args": [
               "python-openstackmcp-server"
             ],
             "env" : {
               "OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE": "/path/to/your/clouds.yaml"
             }
           }
         }
       }

    Using uvx

    json
    {
         "mcpServers": {
           "openstack-mcp-server": {
             "command": "uvx",
             "args": [
               "python-openstackmcp-server"
             ],
             "env" : {
               "OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE": "/path/to/your/clouds.yaml"
             }
           }
         }
       }

    Development

    Setup

    # Install dependencies (including dev and test groups)
    uv sync
    
    # Run tests
    uv run --group test pytest
    
    # Run linting
    uv run ruff check src tests
    
    # Format code
    uv run ruff format src tests

    Using tox (OpenStack Standard)

    bash
    # Install tox
    pip install tox
    # or
    uv tool install tox
    
    # Run tests
    tox -e py3
    
    # Run linting
    tox -e pep8
    
    # Auto-format code
    tox -e format
    
    # Generate coverage report
    tox -e cover
    
    # Run arbitrary commands in virtualenv
    tox -e venv -- 
    
    # Test on specific Python version
    tox -e py310  # or py311, py312, py313
    
    # List all available environments
    tox list
