|
+
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Parallels Desktop on macOS. It enables LLM agents—such as Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity—to discover, control, automate, and inspect Parallels virtual machines over standard MCP stdio.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
## Highlights
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
- **Full Lifecycle Management**: Start, gracefully stop (ACPI), and suspend virtual machines.
|
|
37
|
+
- **Cross-Platform Guest Execution**: Execute commands inside Windows, Linux, or macOS guests with explicit argument vectors (`argv`), avoiding host shell injection risks.
|
|
38
|
+
- **Readiness Probing**: Automatically detects guest OS and polls until Parallels Tools and the guest execution layer respond.
|
|
39
|
+
- **Bi-Directional File Transfer**: Stream files and directories directly between host and guest over stdin/stdout tar archives without requiring network mounts or SMB credentials (`vm_copy_to_guest`, `vm_copy_from_guest`).
|
|
40
|
+
- **Dynamic Host Folder Sharing**: Mount and unmount host directories into guest VMs at runtime with read-only or read-write permissions (`vm_share_folder`, `vm_unshare_folder`).
|
|
41
|
+
- **Instant Sandboxing & Ephemeral Clones**: Spin up fast linked clones in seconds for disposable agent test environments, and permanently delete sandboxes with confirmation (`vm_clone`, `vm_delete`).
|
|
42
|
+
- **Headless Execution & Network Simulation**: Run VMs headlessly in the background, or simulate network degradation (edge, 3g, wifi, 100% packet loss, offline) for resilience testing (`vm_set_headless`, `vm_set_network_condition`).
|
|
43
|
+
- **Visual VM Inspection**: Capture real-time screenshots of the VM display buffer for multimodal AI analysis (`vm_screenshot`).
|
|
44
|
+
- **Synthetic Input & Hotkeys**: Send keyboard events and hotkey combinations (`Ctrl+Alt+Del`, `Win+R`, `Enter`, `Esc`) to interact with GUI dialogs and prompts (`vm_send_keys`).
|
|
45
|
+
- **Snapshot Lifecycle**: List, create, safely revert, and delete snapshots with mandatory confirmation flags (`confirm: true`).
|
|
46
|
+
- **Pre-flight Diagnostic Doctor**: Built-in environment and license validator (`parallels-pro-mcp doctor` and `scripts/doctor.sh`).

## Tool Usage & Cookbook
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
### 1. Instant Ephemeral Sandboxing
|
|
81
|
+
Create an isolated linked clone in seconds, run tests headlessly, and destroy it when finished:
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
```python
|
|
84
|
+
# Spin up an instant linked clone sharing the base disk
|
|
85
|
+
vm_clone(vm="Windows 11", name="Win11-Worker-1", linked=True)
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
# Run headlessly without displaying a GUI window on the desktop
|
|
88
|
+
vm_set_headless(vm="Win11-Worker-1", enabled=True)
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
# Boot and wait until guest tools are ready
|
|
91
|
+
vm_start(vm="Win11-Worker-1")
|
|
92
|
+
vm_wait_ready(vm="Win11-Worker-1", timeout_s=120)
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
# ... perform testing or build tasks ...
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
# Graceful stop and permanent teardown
|
|
97
|
+
vm_stop(vm="Win11-Worker-1")
|
|
98
|
+
vm_delete(vm="Win11-Worker-1", confirm=True)
|
|
99
|
+
```
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
### 2. Bi-Directional File Transfer
|
|
102
|
+
Stream files or entire directory trees between host and guest over stdin/stdout tar archives without needing network mounts or SMB credentials:
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
```python
|
|
105
|
+
# Push local build artifact into the guest Windows Temp folder
|
|
106
|
+
vm_copy_to_guest(
|
|
107
|
+
vm="Windows 11",
|
|
108
|
+
host_path="./dist/myapp.exe",
|
|
109
|
+
guest_path=r"C:\Temp\myapp.exe"
|
|
110
|
+
)
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
# Pull test logs or crash dumps back onto the host
|
|
113
|
+
vm_copy_from_guest(
|
|
114
|
+
vm="Windows 11",
|
|
115
|
+
guest_path=r"C:\Temp\test-results",
|
|
116
|
+
host_path="./reports/test-results"
|
|
117
|
+
)
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
### 3. Dynamic Host Folder Sharing
|
|
121
|
+
Mount local host directories directly into the VM at runtime:
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
```python
|
|
124
|
+
# Share a host repository with read-only protection
|
|
125
|
+
vm_share_folder(
|
|
126
|
+
vm="Windows 11",
|
|
127
|
+
name="source_code",
|
|
128
|
+
host_path="~/projects/myapp",
|
|
129
|
+
mode="ro"
|
|
130
|
+
)
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
# Unmount the share when done
|
|
133
|
+
vm_unshare_folder(vm="Windows 11", name="source_code")
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
### 4. GUI Interaction & Screen Analysis
|
|
137
|
+
Interact with native GUI dialogs, installers, or Windows UAC prompts:
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
```python
|
|
140
|
+
# Capture what is currently on the VM screen
|
|
141
|
+
vm_screenshot(vm="Windows 11")
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
# Press Win+R to open the Run dialog
|
|
144
|
+
vm_send_keys(vm="Windows 11", combination="win+r")
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
# Type a command and press Enter
|
|
147
|
+
vm_send_keys(vm="Windows 11", text="notepad.exe", keys=["enter"])
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
# Dismiss a modal with Escape
|
|
150
|
+
vm_send_keys(vm="Windows 11", keys=["esc"])
|
|
151
|
+
```
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
### 5. Network Simulation & Resilience Testing
|
|
154
|
+
Simulate poor connections or complete offline states:
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
```python
|
|
157
|
+
# Throttle bandwidth and latency to emulate a 3G mobile link
|
|
158
|
+
vm_set_network_condition(vm="Windows 11", profile="3g")
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
# Simulate a network blackout (100% packet loss)
|
|
161
|
+
vm_set_network_condition(vm="Windows 11", profile="100-percent-loss")
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
# Restore normal network conditions
|
|
164
|
+
vm_set_network_condition(vm="Windows 11", profile="off")
|
|
165
|
+
```
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
### 6. Snapshot Baselines
|
|
168
|
+
Create rollback points before mutating system state:
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
```python
|
|
171
|
+
# List snapshots
|
|
172
|
+
snapshot_list(vm="Windows 11")
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
# Create a checkpoint
|
|
175
|
+
snapshot_create(
|
|
176
|
+
vm="Windows 11",
|
|
177
|
+
name="clean-state",
|
|
178
|
+
description="Clean baseline before test execution",
|
|
179
|
+
confirm=True
|
|
180
|
+
)
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
# Revert back to the checkpoint
|
|
183
|
+
snapshot_revert(vm="Windows 11", snapshot="clean-state", confirm=True)
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
# Delete snapshot to reclaim host disk space
|
|
186
|
+
snapshot_delete(vm="Windows 11", snapshot="clean-state", confirm=True)
|
|
187
|
+
```
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
---
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
192
|
+
|
|
193
|
+
1. **macOS** with [Parallels Desktop](https://www.parallels.com/) Pro or Business Edition installed.
|
|
194
|
+
- *Note*: Parallels Desktop Pro or Business is required for the `prlctl` command-line utility and `prlctl exec` guest execution.
|
|
195
|
+
2. **Parallels Tools** installed inside each target guest VM.
|
|
196
|
+
3. **Python 3.10+** and [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended).
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
### Verify Your Environment
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
Before connecting an MCP client, run the pre-flight diagnostic:
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
```bash
|
|
203
|
+
# Using uv:
|
|
204
|
+
uv run parallels-pro-mcp doctor
|
|
205
|
+
|
|
206
|
+
# Or using the standalone script:
|
|
207
|
+
./scripts/doctor.sh
|
|
208
|
+
```
|
|
209
|

### Google Antigravity (Gemini CLI)
|
|
268
|
+
|
|
269
|
+
Add the server to `~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json`:
|
|
270
|
+
|
|
271
|
+
```json
|
|
272
|
+
{
|
|
273
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
274
|
+
"parallels-pro": {
|
|
275
|
+
"command": "uv",
|
|
276
|
+
"args": [
|
|
277
|
+
"run",
|
|
278
|
+
"--directory",
|
|
279
|
+
"/path/to/parallels-pro-mcp-server",
|
|
280
|
+
"parallels-pro-mcp"
|
|
281
|
+
],
|
|
282
|
+
"env": {
|
|
283
|
+
"PARALLELS_DEFAULT_VM": "Windows 11",
|
|
284
|
+
"PARALLELS_ARTIFACT_DIR": "~/.cache/parallels-mcp"
|
|
285
|
+
}
|
|
286
|
+
}
|
|
287
|
+
}
|
|
288
|
+
}
|
|
289
|
+
```
|
|
290
|
+
|
|
291
|
+
Or using `uvx`:
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
293
|
+
```json
|
|
294
|
+
{
|

"parallels-pro": {
|
|
297
|
+
"command": "uvx",
|
|
298
|
+
"args": ["parallels-pro-mcp-server"]
|
|
299
|
+
}
|
|
300
|
+
}
|
|
301
|

## Safe Operating Sequence for Agents
|
|
316
|
+
|
|
317
|
+
1. **Discover**: Call `vm_list` to see available VMs and states.
|
|
318
|
+
2. **Inspect**: Call `vm_status(vm="...")` to verify guest tools and power status.
|
|
319
|
+
3. **Optional Sandbox**: For risky or destructive test sessions, call `vm_clone(vm="...", name="agent-sandbox", linked=true)` to create a fast, isolated linked clone.
|
|
320
|
+
4. **Power Up**: If stopped, call `vm_start` followed by `vm_wait_ready` to ensure guest tools are responsive.
|
|
321
|
+
5. **Inspect Desktop**: Call `vm_screenshot` to visually check if dialogs or login prompts are blocking the session.
|
|
322
|
+
6. **Snapshot Baseline**: Call `snapshot_create(vm="...", name="clean-baseline", confirm=true)` before performing major tasks.
|
|
323
|
+
7. **Transfer & Execute**: Use `vm_copy_to_guest` to stage scripts, `vm_exec` with explicit argv arrays to run commands, and `vm_copy_from_guest` to retrieve build artifacts.
|
|
324
|
+
8. **Teardown**: Revert via `snapshot_revert` or destroy ephemeral sandboxes via `vm_delete(vm="agent-sandbox", confirm=true)`.

## Security Model
|
|
329
|
+
|
|
330
|
+
- **Automation Bridge**: This server delegates guest execution directly to `prlctl exec`.
|
|
331
|
+
- **Privilege & Shared Folders**: If your VM has Parallels Shared Folders enabled (e.g. `\\Mac\Home` on Windows or `/media/psf/` on Linux), guest commands can read and write to your host filesystem. Always run only on trusted virtual machines.
|
|
332
|
+
- **Explicit Argv Only**: `vm_exec` only accepts argument vectors (`list[str]`), preventing shell injection on the host.
