meraki-dashboard-api
Provides read-only access to Cisco Meraki Dashboard API, enabling network topology discovery from organization level down to switch ports, clients, and wireless APs, with endpoints for devices, clients, link-layer, and network health.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@meraki-dashboard-api list all organizations and their networks"
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.
meraki-dashboard-api (MCP server)
A read-only Model Context Protocol server for the
Cisco Meraki Dashboard API. It exposes a
curated set of 50 GET endpoints focused on understanding network topology — from
the organization level down to individual switch ports, clients, and wireless APs.
Every tool is a GET. This server never creates, updates, or deletes Meraki
configuration.
What it covers
Module | Tools | Topology use |
| org/network/device inventory, device & uplink statuses, client search & overview | top-level discovery |
| network detail, devices, link-layer topology (LLDP/CDP), clients, health alerts | per-site map |
| device detail, connected clients, LLDP/CDP neighbors, management interface | per-device |
| ports + live port statuses, L3 interfaces, static routes, stacks, STP, LAGs, OSPF, multicast, org-wide port topology discovery | wired fabric |
| SSIDs, AP status, mesh statuses, org-wide SSID statuses | wireless fabric |
| MX VLANs, ports, static routes, site-to-site VPN, uplink & VPN statuses, L3 interfaces | network edge / WAN |
A typical drill-down: organizations-list-organizations →
organizations-list-networks → networks-list-devices →
networks-list-linklayer → devices-list-lldpcdp → switch-list-statuses.

Requirements
Node.js >= 22
A Meraki Dashboard API key (Organization → Settings → Dashboard API access)
Install & register
npm install
export MERAKI_API_KEY=<your-key> # baked into the MCP config at setup time if set
npm run setup # builds, then registers in Claude Desktop + Claude Codenpm run setup also installs one slash command per tool to ~/.claude/commands/.
Run npm run uninstall to reverse everything.
Configuration
Variable | Required | Default | Notes |
| yes | — | sent as |
| no |
| use a regional shard if needed |
| no |
| per-request timeout |
| no |
| logs go to stderr only |
Development
npm run dev # watch mode (tsx)
npm test # unit + integration tests
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm run inspect # debug with the MCP InspectorField projection
Every tool accepts an optional fields: string[] argument. Pass it to return only the
top-level fields you care about (e.g. ["name","serial","status"]), keeping irrelevant
data out of the model's context. Each tool's schema enumerates the available fields.
Notes
The Meraki API rate-limits at ~10 req/s per organization; the client retries
429responses up to 3 times, honoringRetry-After.All upstream failures surface as
EXTERNAL_SERVICE_ERRORtool results, never crashes.

TDQS
C2.7/5.0
Scored across 50 tools
Disambiguation3/5
Many tools have overlapping names like 'get-organization-devices' vs 'organizations-get-devices', and similar patterns for switches and wireless. While descriptions clarify the differences, the naming similarity could cause confusion for an agent.
Naming Consistency2/5
Inconsistent use of 'get' vs 'list' prefixes, mixed ordering (e.g., 'appliance-list-vlans' vs 'get-organization-uplinks-statuses'), and inconsistent pluralization (e.g., 'switch-get-ports' vs 'switch-list-ports'). No single naming convention is followed.
Tool Count2/5
50 tools is excessive for a single MCP server, especially with all being read-only. The large number makes it difficult for an agent to navigate and select the correct tool efficiently.
Completeness1/5
All tools are read-only, with no create, update, or delete operations. This severely limits the agent's ability to manage Meraki networks, leaving obvious gaps for a dashboard API.
