POX MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Query and monitor POX-managed network topology and active OpenFlow datapaths in real time.

• 2

  Programmatically read and update flow tables, retrieve flow statistics, and manage switch configurations.

• 3

  Orchestrate controller tasks or run interactive POX prompts (e.g., configure modules, demonstrate simple-hub or learning-switch behavior) for education or testing.

Description

This server implements a Model Context Protocol interface to the POX SDN controller, exposing dynamic resources (pox://network-config and pox://topology), interactive prompts (controller management and example apps), and tools for datapath and flow management. It provides programmatic access to list switches, inspect switch details, retrieve and set flow tables, and append network insights to a shared configuration memo. The package is aimed at educational environments, network prototyping, and automated network analysis workflows that leverage POX's modular architecture.
