How do I use Clixon MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Clixon MCP Server show me the current routing and interface configuration" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Clixon MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for fetching and querying network device configuration via RESTCONF. Connects to Clixon-based (or any RESTCONF-capable) devices and makes the configuration available to AI coding agents like OpenCode.

Setup

uv sync

Run

uv run server.py

Tools

Tool	Description
`fetch_config`	Fetch device configuration via RESTCONF (supports basic auth and TLS)
`get_config`	Return the currently cached configuration
`get_config_path`	Extract a specific section by dot-separated path (e.g. `ietf-interfaces:interfaces.interface`)

Resources

config://server-info — Server metadata (name, version, available tools)

Prompts

analyze_config — Fetch and analyze device configuration (interfaces, routing, etc.)

Connect to OpenCode

Add to your opencode.json (project root or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json):

{ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "clixon": { "type": "local", "command": ["uv", "run", "server.py"], "enabled": true } } }

Adjust the command path if the server isn't in OpenCode's working directory:

"command": ["uv", "run", "/absolute/path/to/mcp/server.py"]

Example Usage in OpenCode

Once connected, ask questions like:

Fetch the config from https://mydevice:8443/restconf/data with user admin and password admin
What interfaces are configured?
Show me the routing configuration
Are there any interfaces that are down?

The AI agent will call fetch_config to pull the RESTCONF data, cache it in memory, and then use get_config / get_config_path to answer follow-up questions about the device configuration.
