Integrations

  • Mentioned as a planned feature to containerize the MCP server for easier deployment and management.

  • Provides integration with GitHub demonstrated through video examples of connecting Librechat to the Nautobot MCP server.

  • Enables AI agents to interact with network data through custom Python tools, allowing for automation tasks and network management operations within Nautobot.

Nautobot MCP

This Nautobot app integrates the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with Nautobot, providing AI-ready tools and interfaces for network automation and management.

Overview

Nautobot MCP enables AI assistants or applications to interact with your network data through a standardized protocol. The app runs an MCP server alongside Nautobot that exposes tools which can be used by AI systems.

Installation

1. Install the package

pip install nautobot-mcp

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS in your Nautobot configuration

# In your nautobot_config.py PLUGINS = [ "nautobot_mcp", # ... other plugins ]

3. Configuration

Configure the app through Nautobot's configuration system:

# In your nautobot_config.py PLUGINS_CONFIG = { "nautobot_mcp": { "MCP_PORT": 8005, # MCP server port "MCP_HOST": "0.0.0.0", # Default is 0.0.0.0 "MCP_CUSTOM_TOOLS_DIR": "/path/to/your/custom/tools", # Directory for custom tools "MCP_LOAD_CORE_TOOLS": False, # Load built-in tools }, }

4. Run nautobot post upgrade

nautobot-server post_upgrade

Custom Tools

You can create your own custom tools by defining Python functions in the directory specified in MCP_CUSTOM_TOOLS_DIR.

Example custom tool:

# In /path/to/your/custom/tools/my_tools.py def some_tool(param1: str, param2: str) -> dict: """Some tool description""" # Your implementation here return {"result": f"Tool result for {param1} and {param2}"}

The MCP server will automatically discover and register all function-based tools in the specified directory.

Deployment Options

Method 1: Manual Start

You can start the MCP server manually:

nautobot-server start_mcp_server

Create a systemd service file at /etc/systemd/system/nautobot-mcp.service:

[Unit] Description=Nautobot MCP Server After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] User=nautobot Group=nautobot WorkingDirectory=/opt/nautobot ExecStart=/opt/nautobot/venv/bin/nautobot-server start_mcp_server Restart=on-failure RestartSec=30 PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then enable and start the service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now nautobot-mcp.service

Viewing Available Tools

You can view all registered tools in the Nautobot web interface at:

https://your-nautobot-server/plugins/nautobot-mcp/tools/

This page shows all available tools, their descriptions, module paths, and parameter specifications.

TODO

  • Add a way to route tool execution to a specific Nautobot worker.
  • Enhance the tool view in the Nautobot web interface to show tool usage statistics.
  • Create a docker container to run the MCP server.
  • Add tests.
