Cisco Netmiko MCP

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Run show commands on Cisco devices (e.g., show running-config, show ip route) and return parsed output to users.

• 2

  Apply configuration changes safely (entering config mode, handling multi-line commands) to Cisco IOS devices over SSH.

• 3

  Perform network connectivity tests (ping from devices) and integrate natural-language command interpretation via Claude Desktop.

Description

This MCP server provides an AI-assisted interface to execute show commands, apply configuration changes, and run ping tests on Cisco devices over SSH using Netmiko. It integrates with Claude Desktop via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so agents can accept natural-language requests and translate them into device operations. The project handles credential prompting, configuration mode entry, multi-line commands, and is intended for safe, automated network management workflows. It is distributed as a Python project with dependencies like netmiko, python-dotenv, and FastMCP.
