What is the pyATS MCP Server?
The pyATS MCP Server is an STDIO-based tool for securely managing and operating network devices. It provides an interface through the JSON-RPC protocol, supporting the execution of secure CLI commands, configuration changes, and retrieval of parsed output.How to use the pyATS MCP Server?
Users only need to set the testbed file path and then start the server. The server supports continuous running mode or one-time execution mode, suitable for embedded systems or container environments.Applicable Scenarios
Suitable for scenarios that require efficient and secure management of Cisco IOS/NX-OS devices, such as automated operation and maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting.Main Features
Secure CLI Command ExecutionSupports the execution of secure commands such as'show' and 'ping' and returns structured or raw output.
Configuration Change ControlAllows users to safely apply configuration changes while preventing dangerous operations (such as erase, reload).
Structured OutputParses command output into structured data for easy subsequent processing.
LangGraph IntegrationSeamlessly integrates into LangGraph workflows without exposing HTTP ports.
Advantages and Limitations
Advantages
