# genieacs-mcp

An MCP server that wires an AI client to GenieACS, so you can search devices, read their parameters and queue tasks from a chat.

## What it does

The server sits on top of the GenieACS NBI and exposes 7 resources and 12 tools. Through them the assistant searches devices by tag, model, firmware or any TR-069 parameter, reads a device's parameter tree, tasks and faults, and lists the presets, provisions and files on the ACS. Actions work too: reboot a CPE, push firmware, change a parameter, send a connection request.

Read and act are split. `search_devices`, `get_parameter` and the resources change nothing; the other ten tools queue work on a device or modify the ACS. There is no read-only mode, so point the server at an ACS you are fine letting an assistant touch, and leave tool-approval prompts enabled in your client. The HTTP transport binds to loopback unless you set an address and bearer token, and it checks `Host` and `Origin` against DNS rebinding.

One Go binary covers Linux, macOS and Windows on amd64 and arm64, with an npm package and a Docker image as alternatives. You need a reachable GenieACS NBI on port 7557 — without it the server has nothing to talk to. No ACS of your own? The demo stack in `genieacs-container` brings up an ACS with a simulated router in about a minute.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `ACS_URL`, `ACS_USER`, `ACS_PASS`, `DEVICE_LIMIT` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env ACS_URL=<ACS_URL> --env ACS_USER=<ACS_USER> --env ACS_PASS=<ACS_PASS> --env DEVICE_LIMIT=<DEVICE_LIMIT> --transport stdio genieacs-mcp -- npx -y genieacs-mcp
```
Replace <…> with your own values

## When to use it
- find devices that stopped checking in
- inspect the parameter tree of one CPE
- reboot every device carrying a given tag
- roll firmware out to a batch of routers
- create a preset or provision from chat

## Example prompts
- Which devices stopped informing the ACS last night?
- Reboot the devices tagged `pilot`
- Show me the parameters of device `202BC1-BM632w-000000`
