## Overview

`central-mcp-server` wraps Central REST APIs and exposes them as [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) tools — **12 MCP tools** across inventory, monitoring, events, alerts, and troubleshooting. Once configured, AI assistants like Claude or GitHub Copilot can answer questions like:

- *"Which sites have poor health scores right now?"*
- *"Show me all failed wireless clients at HQ in the last 24 hours."*
- *"Show me all online access points at the Chicago office."*
- *"What events happened on switch SW-CORE-01 yesterday?"*

See the [full overview guide](https://developer.arubanetworks.com/new-central/docs/central-mcp-overview) for a deeper look at capabilities, limitations, and how the server works.
