What VM Harness does

VM Harness allows agents control over QEMU, VMware, VirtualBox, Docker, Kubernetes and VMs and containers safely and securely with VM streaming between devices and the mobile app for Android able to pair to a desktop install and manage it as well as use VMs streamed to the mobile device.

README

VM-Harness

Control virtual machines and containers from one place: a desktop window, a local API, an MCP server for AI agents, and a command line. QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V, WSL and KVM; Docker, Podman, Kubernetes and Compose.

Quick start

pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m vm_harness gui           # the window
python -m vm_harness mcp           # MCP server for Claude Desktop, ABP, Cursor... (stdio)
python -m vm_harness call vm.list  # any operation from the command line

Everything goes through one local service, the hub: see **[docs/control.md](docs/control.md)** for the API, the 160+ operations, MCP, and driving the window remotely.

Features

34 GUI Panels — Complete VM control from a polished dark-themed desktop interface
CLI Tool — Command-line interface for scripting and agent access
REST API — HTTP endpoints for programmatic control
MCP Server — every operation as an MCP tool, including driving the window (python -m vm_harness mcp)
Self-Healing — Atomic state, process guardian, automatic recovery
Multi-VM — Control multiple QEMU instances from one interface
ISO Manager — Internal storage + external folder scanning + downloads
Guest Integration — SSH terminal, file browser, process manager
