### Description (declared)

# nautobot-mcp-server

A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that exposes
[Nautobot](https://docs.nautobot.com/)'s built-in REST and GraphQL APIs as
tools for LLMs and AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other
MCP-compatible client.

It can be used in two ways:

- **As a Nautobot app** — drop it into a Nautobot environment, configure
  `PLUGINS_CONFIG`, and run the MCP server alongside Nautobot.
- **As a standalone stdio MCP server** — installed in any Python environment
  with the `nautobot-mcp-server` console script, talking to a remote Nautobot
  over its REST API.

This release focuses on **Nautobot's internal/built-in models only** (DCIM,
IPAM, circuits, tenancy, virtualization, extras/jobs, users, GraphQL).
Third-party Nautobot apps (Design Builder, Onboarding, SSoT, Golden Config,
ChatOps, …) are not yet wrapped — but the generic `rest_list` / `rest_get`
tools work against their endpoints if your token has access.

## Installation

```bash
pip install nautobot-mcp-server
```

When running inside a Nautobot environment, install the optional `nautobot`
extra (it pins a compatible Nautobot version):

```bash
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[nautobot]"
```

### Optional Nautobot app (plugin) integrations

The base install exposes only Nautobot **core** tools. Tools for the
NetworkToCode apps are optional and can be added via extras:

```bash
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[design-builder]"   # Design Builder tools
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[onboarding]"        # Device Onboarding tools
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[ssot]"              # SSoT tools
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[golden-config]"     # Golden Config tools
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[nornir]"            # Nornir backend tools
pip install "nautobot-mcp-server[all]"               # all of the above
```

By default (`plugins = ["auto"]`) a plugin's tools are registered when its
Python package is importable — so installing an extra is all y…
