### Description (declared)

# GNS3 MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for GNS3 network lab automation. Control GNS3 projects, nodes, and device consoles through Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client.

**Version**: 0.49.0

## Features

- **15 Tools**: CRUD-style GNS3 automation (v0.47.0: 53% consolidation from 32 tools)
- **25 Resources**: Read-only data access (projects, nodes, links, sessions, topology reports)
- **CRUD Pattern**: Consolidated tools with `action` parameters (`project(action="open")`, `node(action="create")`, etc.)
- **Batch Operations**: Console and SSH operations use batch-only APIs for atomic execution
- **Wildcard Support**: Node operations support patterns (`*`, `Router*`, `R[123]`, JSON arrays)
- **Project Management**: Create, open, close GNS3 projects
- **Node Control**: Start/stop/restart nodes with wildcard patterns and parallel execution
- **Console Access**: Telnet console automation with pattern matching and grep filtering
- **SSH Automation**: Network device automation via Netmiko (200+ device types)
- **Network Topology**: Batch connect/disconnect links, create drawings, export diagrams
- **Docker Integration**: Configure container networks, read/write files
- **Tool Discovery**: `search_tools()` with category/capability/resource filtering
- **Claude Desktop Support**: All resources accessible via tools (`query_resource`, `list_projects`, `list_nodes`, `get_topology`)
- **Security**: API key authentication (HTTP mode), service privilege isolation, HTTPS support

## Installation

**Supported Platform:** Windows only

### Quick Start (Claude Code - Recommended)

**Prerequisites:**
- Windows 10/11
- GNS3 server running and accessible
