Server Details

Server: https://github.com/vespo92/TrueNasCoreMCP

Motivation and Context

This MCP server enables LLMs to interact with TrueNAS Core systems, allowing users to manage their NAS through natural language. Users can query system status, manage storage pools and datasets, create snapshots, and configure SMB shares directly from Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible clients. The server provides a secure, API-based integration that makes NAS administration more accessible and efficient.

How Has This Been Tested?

• ✅ Tested with Claude Desktop on Windows 10/11
• ✅ Verified with TrueNAS Core 13.0-U6.1
• ✅ Tested all core functions: user management, pool operations, dataset creation, SMB shares
• ✅ Connection test script included for easy verification
• ✅ Error handling tested with invalid credentials and network failures
