Creating scripts to help automate repetitive tasks or generate reports is a common need for every VMware administrator, and with Agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, to name a few, the barrier to entry has been significantly lowered. In fact, when I spoke with attendees at VMware Explore Las Vegas 2026 about their use of coding agents, I saw a dramatic shift compared to the previous year, from maybe 20% to now over 80%!
However, one key challenge you may have experienced when using AI models (LLMs) is that they can still hallucinate and make up a non-existent REST API endpoint or PowerCLI cmdlet. LLMs are designed to always provide an answer, even when that answer may be wrong.
To help address this challenge and provide modern LLMs with the required VCF context for developing scripts and automation, a new Fling has just been released called VCF Agentic AI Hub (VCF-AI), which is delivered as a standalone virtual appliance. VCF-AI includes a VCF Code Assist MCP Server that currently supports code generation for the following VCF SDKs:
- VCF PowerCLI
-
- vCenter Server
- vSAN
- VCF Operations
- SDDC Manager
- NSX
- vSphere Supervisor
- HCX
- SRM
- VCF Python SDK
- vCenter Server
- vSAN
- vSAN Data Protection
- VCF Operations
- VCF Installer
- SDDC Manager
- NSX
- vSphere Supervisor
- VCF Operations for Networks
- Log Management
- VCF Fleet and SDDC LCM
VCF-AI includes all the OpenAPI specifications and documentation for the two SDKs, which cover a number of VCF components along with skill files that have been created by VCF Engineering to allow users to easily create automation using their favorite Agentic coding agent.
