MikroTik MCP

Overview

MikroTik MCP provides a bridge between AI assistants and MikroTik RouterOS devices. It allows AI assistants to interact with MikroTik routers through natural language requests, executing commands like managing VLANs, configuring firewall rules, handling DNS settings, and more.

With ~300 tools, it covers practically the whole RouterOS surface: system core (identity, clock, NTP, packages/upgrade, scripts, scheduler, logging), L2 switching (bridge + VLAN filtering, bonding, VRRP, VXLAN), tunnels and VPN (EoIP/GRE/IPIP/6to4, PPP/PPPoE/L2TP/SSTP/OVPN, IPsec, WireGuard), the full firewall (filter/NAT/mangle/raw/address-list/connection), IPv4 and IPv6 (addresses, routes, DHCP client/server/leases, IPv6 firewall), routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, RIP, BFD), certificates (incl. ACME), ROS7 WiFi + legacy CAPsMAN, LTE, containers, and diagnostics (ping, traceroute, bandwidth-test, torch, sniffer, netwatch).

Tool design

• Legacy scopes (the original ~170 tools) use one tool per action: create_vlan_interface, list_vlan_interfaces, remove_vlan_interface, …

• Consolidated scopes (newer tools) use one tool per RouterOS menu with an action parameter, e.g. bridge_port(action="add", …) / action="list" / action="remove". This keeps the tool count manageable while covering every verb.

• Most consolidated tools take an attributes dict — an escape hatch to pass any RouterOS property (kebab-case) not exposed as a typed parameter.

• execute_command runs a raw RouterOS CLI command — the fallback for anything not covered by a dedicated tool. Safe mode, when enabled, still applies.

Tools carry MCP risk annotations (read-only / write / destructive / dangerous) so clients can gate confirmations appropriately.
