Description

This MCP server exposes pyATS and Genie functionality over JSON-RPC 2.0 using stdin/stdout, enabling secure, container-friendly integrations without HTTP. It can execute validated show and ping commands, fetch parsed or raw outputs, and apply controlled multi-line configuration while blocking unsafe commands. Inputs are validated with Pydantic and the server is designed for embedding in LangGraph pipelines or running as a long-lived or one-shot process. Docker support and example LangGraph usage are provided for easy deployment.
