Morning health check
Tom Reilly, infrastructure lead at Northwind, asked whether anything had failed overnight. Memtro read the task log and listed the backup jobs with their outcomes, naming the one that ended with an error.
Proxmox VE + Memtro
Which VMs are struggling, and did last night's backups finish?
Proxmox VE shows you every node, VM, container and storage on your own hosts, with status, CPU, memory, disk and uptime. It reads cluster and quorum status, one guest's live status, the task log, storage usage, backups and snapshots. When asked and granted, it can start, shut down, reboot or stop a VM or container, and suspend, resume or reset a VM. It can also take, roll back or delete a snapshot, back up guests, and stop a running task. With Privilege Separation ticked, the token has no rights until you add an API Token Permission for it.
In Memtro
What you can do with Proxmox VE in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Proxmox VE tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Lists every node, VM, container and storage with status, CPU, memory, disk, uptime and HA state.
- 02Reads cluster quorum, one guest's live status, the task log and whether a task finished OK.
- 03Reads storage usage, the backups held on a storage and a guest's snapshots.
- 04When asked and granted, starts, shuts down, reboots or stops a guest, so its users lose the service until it is back.
- 05When asked and granted, suspends, resumes or resets a VM, or takes, rolls back or deletes a snapshot.
- 06When asked and granted, backs up guests by id or stops a running task.
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Proxmox VE. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Start a VM or container
- 02Shut down a VM or container (clean ACPI shutdown, optionally forced)
- 03Reboot a VM or container
- 04Stop a VM or container immediately (like pulling the plug)
- 05Suspend a VM
- 06Resume a suspended VM
- 07Reset a VM (hard reset)
- 08Take a snapshot of a VM or container
- 09Roll back a VM or container to a snapshot (discards everything since)
- 10Delete a snapshot
- 11Back up VMs or containers by id
- 12Stop a running task
In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Proxmox VE is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Proxmox VE + Memtro
Which VMs are using the most memory right now?
Is the cluster quorate?
Did last night's backups finish OK?
What snapshots does VM 104 have?
How full is the backup storage on pve1?
Snapshot before patching
Dan Fletcher, sysadmin at Acme Ltd, asked Memtro to snapshot the database VM before patching it. With the action granted, Memtro took the snapshot and then checked the task status, which came back OK.

Setup
How to connect
Connect withHost, token ID and token secret
- 1
In Proxmox open Datacenter, then Permissions, then API Tokens, and add a token. Give it PVEAuditor on / for reads, plus the privileges each action needs. The secret is shown once.
- 2
In Memtro open Connections → Proxmox VE. Fill in Host with the DNS name alone, Token ID exactly as Proxmox shows it, and Token secret.
- 3
Set Port only if the API is not on 8006. An administrator grants the power, snapshot and backup actions by name to the teams that may use them.
- 4
Ask: which VMs are using the most memory right now?
Also works from
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Proxmox VE tools are the same everywhere.
FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Proxmox VE?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: start a VM or container; shut down a VM or container (clean ACPI shutdown, optionally forced); reboot a VM or container; stop a VM or container immediately (like pulling the plug); suspend a VM; resume a suspended VM; reset a VM (hard reset); take a snapshot of a VM or container; roll back a VM or container to a snapshot (discards everything since); delete a snapshot; back up VMs or containers by id; stop a running task. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Proxmox VE connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Proxmox VE data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Proxmox VE?+
Host, token ID and token secret. In Proxmox open Datacenter, then Permissions, then API Tokens, and add a token. Give it PVEAuditor on / for reads, plus the privileges each action needs. The secret is shown once.
