Implementation Reference

  • MCP server tool handler for 'get_prefixes': extracts parameters, calls NautobotClient.get_prefixes(), formats results as JSON text content.
    elif name == "get_prefixes": # Extract and validate arguments prefix = args.get("prefix") status = args.get("status") site = args.get("site") role = args.get("role") tenant = args.get("tenant") vrf = args.get("vrf") limit = min(args.get("limit", 100), 1000) # Cap at 1000 offset = args.get("offset", 0) logger.info(f"Retrieving prefixes with filters: {args}") # Get prefixes from Nautobot prefixes = await client.get_prefixes( prefix=prefix, status=status, site=site, role=role, tenant=tenant, vrf=vrf, limit=limit, offset=offset ) # Format results result = { "count": len(prefixes), "filters_applied": {k: v for k, v in args.items() if v is not None}, "results": [prefix_obj.model_dump() for prefix_obj in prefixes] } return [ types.TextContent( type="text", text=f"Retrieved {len(prefixes)} network prefixes from Nautobot:\n\n" f"```json\n{result}\n```" ) ]
  • Pydantic model defining the structure of individual Prefix objects returned from Nautobot API.
    class Prefix(BaseModel): """Pydantic model for Nautobot prefix data.""" id: str url: HttpUrl prefix: str status: Dict[str, Any] site: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None vrf: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None tenant: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None vlan: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None role: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None is_pool: bool = False description: Optional[str] = None comments: Optional[str] = None tags: List[Dict[str, Any]] = Field(default_factory=list) custom_fields: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict) created: str last_updated: str
  • Registration of the 'get_prefixes' tool in list_tools(), including name, description, and detailed inputSchema.
    types.Tool( name="get_prefixes", description="Retrieve network prefixes from Nautobot with filtering options", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "prefix": { "type": "string", "description": "Specific network prefix to search for" }, "status": { "type": "string", "description": "Status to filter by" }, "site": { "type": "string", "description": "Site to filter by" }, "role": { "type": "string", "description": "Role to filter by" }, "tenant": { "type": "string", "description": "Tenant to filter by" }, "vrf": { "type": "string", "description": "VRF to filter by" }, "limit": { "type": "integer", "description": "Maximum number of results to return (default: 100, max: 1000)", "default": 100, "minimum": 1, "maximum": 1000 }, "offset": { "type": "integer", "description": "Number of results to skip for pagination (default: 0)", "default": 0, "minimum": 0 } }, "additionalProperties": False }, ),
  • NautobotClient.get_prefixes(): constructs API params from filters, calls _make_request to GET /ipam/prefixes/, parses response into Prefix models.
    async def get_prefixes( self, prefix: Optional[str] = None, status: Optional[str] = None, site: Optional[str] = None, role: Optional[str] = None, tenant: Optional[str] = None, vrf: Optional[str] = None, limit: int = 100, offset: int = 0 ) -> List[Prefix]: """ Retrieve network prefixes from Nautobot.
