## Quick Start

### 1. Configure devices

```bash
cp devices.json.example devices.json
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `devices.json` with your device inventory. Passwords use `${ENV_VAR}` references resolved from `.env`:

```json
{
  "devices": [
    {
      "id": "cisco-sw-core",
      "name": "Cisco Core Switch",
      "type": "cisco",
      "transport": ["ssh"],
      "host": "192.168.1.1",
      "port": 22,
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "${CISCO_PASSWORD}",
      "tags": ["core", "network"]
    }
  ]
}
```

### 2. Docker (Recommended)

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

Server runs at `http://localhost:3300` (MCP endpoint: `/mcp`, health: `/health`)

### 3. Standalone

```bash
npm install
npm run build
npm run start:sse   # Streamable HTTP mode (port 3000)
npm start           # stdio mode (for Claude Desktop)
```

### 4. Connect to Claude Code

`.mcp.json` is pre-configured:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iot": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3300/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## VPN Support

Container รองรับ 5 VPN protocols เพื่อเข้าถึงอุปกรณ์ที่อยู่หลัง VPN:

| VPN | Config Location | Auto-connect |
|-----|----------------|--------------|
| **OpenVPN** | `vpn/openvpn/*.ovpn` | ทุก .ovpn file |
| **WireGuard** | `vpn/wireguard/*.conf` | ทุก .conf file |
| **Tailscale** | `TS_AUTHKEY` in `.env` | เมื่อมี authkey |
| **Cloudflare Tunnel** | `CF_TUNNEL_TOKEN` in `.env` | เมื่อมี token |
| **ZeroTier** | `ZT_NETWORKS` in `.env` | เมื่อมี network IDs |

### Setup OpenVPN

วาง `.ovpn` config files ไว้ใน `vpn/openvpn/`:

```bash
cp your-vpn-config.ovpn vpn/openvpn/
```

### Setup WireGuard

วาง WireGuard config ไว้ใน `vpn/wireguard/`:

```bash
cp wg0.conf vpn/wireguard/
```

### Setup Tailscale

สร้าง auth key จาก https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys แล้วใส่ใน `.env`:

```
TS_AUTHKEY=tskey-auth-xxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

### Setup ZeroTier

สร้าง network ที่ [my.zerotier.com](https://my.zerotier.com/) แล้วใส่ network ID ใน `.env` (หลาย network คั่นด้วย comma):

```
ZT_NETWORKS=af78bf9436abcdef
```

อย่าลืม authorize member ใน ZeroTier Central หลัง container join แล้ว

### Setup Cloudflare Tunnel

สร้าง Tunnel จาก [Cloudflare Zero Trust Dashboard](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/) -> Networks -> Tunnels แล้วคัดลอก token ใส่ `.env`:

```
CF_TUNNEL_TOKEN=eyJhIjoixxxxxxx...
```

กำหนด Private Network routes ใน Cloudflare Dashboard เพื่อให้ tunnel route traffic ไปยัง subnet ของอุปกรณ์

### Device VPN Annotation

ระบุ VPN ที่อุปกรณ์ใช้ใน `devices.json` ด้วย field `vpn` (optional, ช่วยให้ Claude รู้ว่าอุปกรณ์อยู่หลัง VPN ไหน):

```json
{
  "id": "cisco-remote",
  "name": "Cisco Remote Switch",
  "type": "cisco",
  "host": "10.8.0.100",
  "vpn": "openvpn",
  "tags": ["remote"]
}
```

### Check VPN Status

TDQS

C2.8/5.0

Scored across 135 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Vendor prefixes like tb_, sonoff_, and fortigate_ help distinguish tools, but generic tools such as iot_execute_command and iot_get_config overlap with vendor-specific CLI tools, and multiple list_devices/device_status variants across platforms require careful reading. Some pairs like dss_record_status and dahua_nvr_recording_status are also easy to confuse.

Naming Consistency3/5

Most tools follow a vendor_prefix + verb + noun pattern, but the verb choice is inconsistent (get/list/show/send/set/toggle/execute) and some names like vpn_status, dss_record_status, dahua_nvr_ptz, and hf_at_command break the pattern entirely. The overall scheme is readable but not uniformly predictable.

Tool Count2/5

With 135 tools, this is far above the threshold where an agent can efficiently navigate the surface. The server attempts to cover many unrelated domains—IoT, switches, firewalls, NAS, hypervisors, and video surveillance—making the toolset unwieldy for its stated 'IoT' purpose.

Completeness2/5

Coverage is wide but shallow: most platforms have only read/status operations, with few create/update/delete endpoints. Major lifecycle gaps exist—Proxmox cannot start/stop VMs, OpenStack cannot create servers, and several device types lack provisioning or configuration tools.
