ThousandEyes MCP

by CiscoDevNet

thousandeyes-mcp

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Cisco ThousandEyes v7 — lets AI assistants query tests, agents, alerts, dashboards, widgets, and test results (network, page-load, web-transactions, path-vis).

Community project - NOT affiliated with Cisco/ThousandEyes.
Status: Alpha (MVP) read-only.


Why (business value)

  • Faster troubleshooting: Ask AI to “show outages in the last hour” or “figure out where the network traffic is getting stuck at” for super fast issues identification.

  • Consistency over scripts: Standard MCP tools replace one-off curl snippets.

  • Safer by default: Read-only; token is only read from env.

  • Composable workflows: Chain tools (tests → dashboard → widget → test results).


Current capabilities

Tool

What it does

Endpoint(s)

te_list_tests(aid?, name_contains?, test_type?)

Lists tests (filter by name/type/AG)

Lists enterprise / enterprise-cluster / cloud agents

GET /v7/agents

te_get_test_results(test_id, test_type, window?/start?/end?/aid?/agent_id?)

Test results (e.g.,

network

,

page-load

,

web-transactions

; not

dns-server

)

GET /v7/test-results/{testId}/{testType}

te_get_path_vis(test_id, window?/start?/end?/aid?/agent_id?/direction?)

Path visualization data

GET /v7/test-results/{testId}/path-vis

te_list_dashboards(aid?, title_contains?)

Lists dashboards

GET /v7/dashboards

te_get_dashboard(dashboard_id, aid?)

Dashboard details incl. widget list

GET /v7/dashboards/{dashboardId}

te_get_dashboard_widget(dashboard_id, widget_id, window?/start?/end?/aid?)

Widget data for a dashboard

GET /v7/dashboards/{dashboardId}/widgets/{widgetId}

te_get_users()

Lists users in the ThousandEyes account

GET /v7/users

te_get_account_groups()

GET /v7/account-groups


Requirements

  • Python 3.12+

  • ThousandEyes API v7 bearer token in env: TE_TOKEN


Install

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt # If Python is externally managed: # python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt

Configure (Claude Desktop)

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (or Dev UI):

{ "mcpServers": { "thousandeyes": { "command": "/ABS/PATH/TO/python3", "args": ["/ABS/PATH/TO/repo/src/server.py"], "env": { "TE_TOKEN": "YOUR_OAUTH_BEARER_TOKEN" } } } }

Token is read only from env, never written to disk.


Try it out!

Example 1: In-depth Analysis of Customer Journeys for Optimizing Performance

Here are some other prompts to try out

  • What was the network health of the Patient Portal between 13:00–14:00 CET on 1 Sep 2025?

  • Which regions/agents showed elevated page-load time for the Patient Portal between 08:00–10:00 UTC today?”

  • Show uptime and TTFB for the Patient Portal homepage over the last 24 hours, and call out any drops.

  • Which enterprise agents had >1% packet loss to api.patient-portal.example.com this morning?”

  • Open the Patient Portal dashboard and list the widgets relevant to availability and the login flow and callout any widgets reporting no data

  • For test , compare network latency during 10:00–10:30 UTC vs. the prior 30 minutes.”

  • Show path visualization anomalies for test around 15:30 UTC yesterday.”


Security & privacy

  • Read-only tools - no writes.

  • No tokens or org data stored - token only via TE_TOKEN.

  • Respect org rate limits - backoff on the roadmap.


Roadmap

  • Adding feature support for alerts, tags, event detection, endpoint agents, etc.

  • Optional retries/backoff on 429.

  • Minimal CI and examples catalog.
