How do I use io.github.shigechika/aruba-central-mcp?

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., "@io.github.shigechika/aruba-central-mcp list all access points in site HQ" 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.

`list_radios`	List AP radios (channel, utilization, noise floor, TX power)
`list_bssids`	List all BSSIDs
`list_wlans`	List WLANs (SSID, security, VLAN)
`list_swarms`	List AP swarms/clusters
`get_ap_status`	Get detailed status of a specific AP
`get_ap_throughput`	Get AP throughput trend (TX/RX over time)
`get_top_aps`	Top APs by bandwidth usage (wireless/wired/total)

Clients

Tool	Description
`list_clients`	List connected wireless clients (with optional SSID/band filter)
`find_client_by_mac`	Find a client by MAC address (direct API lookup)
`get_clients_trend`	Client count trend over time

Usage

Claude Code

claude mcp add aruba-central \
  -e ARUBA_CENTRAL_BASE_URL=apigw-uswest4.central.arubanetworks.com \
  -e ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aruba-central": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["aruba-central-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ARUBA_CENTRAL_BASE_URL": "apigw-uswest4.central.arubanetworks.com",
        "ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aruba-central": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["aruba-central-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ARUBA_CENTRAL_BASE_URL": "apigw-uswest4.central.arubanetworks.com",
        "ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Direct execution

export ARUBA_CENTRAL_BASE_URL="apigw-uswest4.central.arubanetworks.com"
export ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export ARUBA_CENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
python3 -m aruba_central_mcp

CLI Options

aruba-central-mcp --version   # Print version and exit
aruba-central-mcp --help      # Show usage and required environment variables
aruba-central-mcp --check     # Verify environment variables and OAuth2 authentication, then exit
aruba-central-mcp             # Start MCP server (STDIO, default)

With no options, the process runs as an MCP STDIO server (the mode used by MCP clients).

--check exit codes: 0 success, 1 config error, 2 auth error.
