How to use
- Install
git clone https://github.com/upa/mcp-netmiko-server
cd mcp-netmiko-server
# Write your toml file that lists your devices
vim my-devices.network.toml
# Run via stdio
uv run --with "mcp[cli]" --with netmiko main.py my-devices.network.toml
# Run as an SSE server: URL is http://localhost:10000/sse in this case
uv run --with "mcp[cli]" --with netmiko main.py my-devices.network.toml --sse
- Configuration
List your network devices in a toml file like sample.network.toml:
[default]
username = "rouser"
password = "rouserpassword"
[qfx1]
hostname = "172.16.0.40"
device_type = "juniper_junos"
[nexus1]
hostname = "nexus1.lab"
device_type = "cisco_nxos"
[default] is a special section that defines the default values such
as username and password. Devices inherit the default values if
not defined on their sections.
For device_type values, see netmiko Supported
Platforms.
