Multi-step workflow orchestration for VMware MCP skills — state machine, approval gates, audit trail.

Companion skills handle everything else:

Skill Scope Install
vmware-aiops VM lifecycle, deployment, guest ops, cluster uv tool install vmware-aiops
vmware-monitor Read-only: inventory, health, alarms, events uv tool install vmware-monitor
vmware-storage Datastores, iSCSI, vSAN management uv tool install vmware-storage
vmware-vks Tanzu Namespaces, TKC cluster lifecycle uv tool install vmware-vks
vmware-nsx NSX networking: segments, gateways, NAT uv tool install vmware-nsx-mgmt
vmware-nsx-security DFW firewall rules, security groups uv tool install vmware-nsx-security
vmware-aria Aria Ops: metrics, alerts, capacity uv tool install vmware-aria
vmware-avi AVI load balancing, pool management, AKO K8s ops uv tool install vmware-avi

Install

uv tool install vmware-pilot
vmware-pilot mcp          # start the MCP server (stdio)

Offline / Air-Gapped Install (from source)

This project uses the modern PEP 517 build system (hatchling), so there is no setup.py by design — that is expected, not a missing file. If you cloned the source and hit ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found ... editable mode currently requires a setuptools-based build, your pip is older than 21.3 and cannot do an editable (-e) install with a non-setuptools backend. Editable mode is a developer convenience, not needed to run the tool — do one of:

# From the source tree — a normal (non-editable) install builds a wheel:
pip install .              # NOT  pip install -e .

# ...or upgrade pip first, and editable works too:
pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -e .

For a truly air-gapped host, build the wheels on a connected machine and copy them over — the target then needs no network:

# On a connected machine, collect this package + its dependencies as wheels:
pip wheel . -w dist        # → dist/*.whl   (or: uv build, for just this package)

# Copy dist/ to the air-gapped host, then install offline:
pip install --no-index --find-links dist vmware-pilot

confirm_draft Finalize draft → ready to execute
plan_workflow Generate execution plan from template, returns workflow_id
create_workflow Create custom workflow from step list
run_workflow Execute workflow, pauses at approval gates
get_workflow_status Query state + diff report + audit log
approve Human approval, continue execution
rollback Abort and rollback at any stage
cancel_workflow Cancel a workflow — move it to the terminal CANCELLED state

MCP Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmware-pilot": {
      "command": "vmware-pilot",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Fallback: {"command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "vmware-pilot", "vmware-pilot-mcp"]} still works, but uvx re-resolves against PyPI on every start and fails behind a TLS-inspecting corporate proxy (invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer). The installed entry point above touches the network zero times; set UV_NATIVE_TLS=true if you must use uvx.
