A home lab enthusiast shares their experience using MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to control Proxmox, Synology NAS, and Technitium DNS through Claude AI. Instead of juggling multiple web UIs, they use natural language queries to handle tasks like checking VM snapshots, monitoring container memory usage, and querying DNS logs. The setup acts as a complementary control layer for high-context, low-frequency tasks, with safety guardrails like blocking DNSSEC writes. The author now looks for MCP server support when adding new devices to their lab.
