Scrapli MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Open SSH sessions to network devices asynchronously and run commands through Scrapli.

• 2

  Connect to network devices from Claude Desktop or other MCP clients via a stdio-based MCP server (or via an SSE gateway for Windows clients).

• 3

  A lightweight, local MCP server to prototype automated network-device interactions and integrations.

Description

This repository provides a simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implemented with Scrapli to enable SSH interactions with network devices from MCP-compatible clients (for example, Claude Desktop). It is designed as a proof of concept showcasing async device connectivity and easy integration with clients that support stdio-based MCP servers. The project targets Linux/macOS (Scrapli is not Windows-compatible) and includes instructions to run the server in a virtualenv using the uv package manager. For Windows clients like Claude Desktop, the README documents using an SSE gateway to bridge to the HTTP server.
