list_tasks
Recent tasks on a node (backups, migrations, etc.)
How to use it
list_tasks is exposed by the MCP Proxmox MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the list_tasks tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
