kvm-pilot MCP

A write-capable, multi-plane MCP server for controlling physical machines via KVM, BMC, and SSH. It enables AI agents to perform bare-metal operations like OS installation and firmware updates by analyzing KVM screenshots and executing commands, supporting safety gates and vision-based boot phase detection.
