Capture a real-time traffic snapshot on a router interface. The tool call blocks for the duration (seconds) and returns top flows by bytes. readOnlyHint true — auto-retry enabled.

Read and filter the system log from a MikroTik router. Supports filtering by topic, message prefix, and a time window (last N minutes) measured against the router's own clock. Entries with unparseable timestamps are included conservatively.

Read the current date, time, and timezone from a MikroTik router. Focused single-purpose alternative to the clock section in get_system_status.

Set the system date, time, and/or timezone on a MikroTik router. Idempotent: returns already_set if the values already match. Supports dry-run.

Trigger a controlled router reboot with an optional delay. Supports dry-run. Use this tool instead of run_command for reboots — run_command's deny list blocks /system reboot*.

Execute an arbitrary RouterOS console command via SSH. Guarded by an allow/deny policy (built-in deny list blocks destructive commands; tighten via cmdAllow in routers.yaml or MIKROMCP_CMD_ALLOW). Prefer dedicated tools (reboot, etc.) where available. Output capped at 4000 characters.

List bridge interfaces and their port members on a MikroTik router.

Create or remove a bridge interface on a MikroTik router. Idempotent: create returns already_exists if bridge with same name exists.

Add, update, remove, enable, or disable a RouterOS scheduler entry. Idempotent by name. add throws CONFLICT if name exists; update throws NOT_FOUND if it does not. Supports dry-run.

List installed RouterOS packages with version and enabled status.

Enable or disable a RouterOS package. Changes take effect only after a router reboot — use the reboot tool to apply. Idempotent: no-op if already in the target state.

List files on a MikroTik router filesystem. Supports filtering by name and type.

Read a text file's contents from a MikroTik router. Only suitable for text files — binary files will return garbled content.

Upload a text file to a router, overwriting any existing file of the same name. Prefers SFTP (encrypted, over SSH) and falls back to plaintext FTP if SFTP is unavailable. Requires SSH (or FTP) access for the router user. Dry-run tests connectivity only.

Delete a file from the router filesystem by name. Idempotent: returns not_found gracefully if the file does not exist.

List PPPoE client interfaces on a MikroTik router. Shows name, parent interface, ISP username, and connection status.

Add, update, or remove a PPPoE client interface. Idempotent by name (already_exists on matching name+interface+user; CONFLICT on differing config; no_change when an update differs in nothing). Password is always written when provided since RouterOS does not return it on GET.

List OpenVPN client interfaces on a MikroTik router. Shows name, remote server, and connection status.

Add, update, or remove an OpenVPN client interface. Idempotent by name (already_exists on matching name+connectTo; CONFLICT on differing connectTo; no_change when an update differs in nothing). Password is always written when provided since RouterOS does not return it on GET.

List PPP profiles including the built-in default and default-encryption profiles.

Add, update, or remove a PPP profile. Idempotent by name. update returns no_change when requested values match. Built-in profiles (default, default-encryption) cannot be removed — RouterOS blocks this and the error is surfaced.

Read the current RouterOS package upgrade status and routerboard firmware versions. Shows installed version, latest available version, update channel, and firmware upgrade availability.

Trigger a RouterOS package update check or install. 'check' queries the update server for new packages. 'install' downloads and applies the update — the router will reboot automatically. Supports dry-run.

Create a binary configuration backup on a MikroTik router. The backup is saved as .backup on the router's filesystem. Supports optional encryption via password and dry-run mode.

Export the router configuration as a RouterOS script. When no file is specified, returns the script text inline. When a file is specified, saves it as .rsc on the router's filesystem. Supports compact mode to show only non-default values.
