Open on GitHubWhat Juniper Routing Director MCP Server does
This MCP server connects your assistant to Juniper Routing Director. Agents can query network topology and check device KPI indicators. The server supports stdio and streamable-http transports. Authentication accepts basic credentials or an API token.
You need Python between 3.10 and 3.14. You also need network access to a running Routing Director instance. You can restrict exposed tools in config.json via the components field: ems for alarm handling, juniper-resiliency-interface for syslog inspection, or device-kpi for routing exceptions.
What it helps with
- monitor network devices and KPI events in Juniper Routing Director
- acknowledge and inspect alarms reported in the EMS module
- retrieve hardware syslog messages via the Juniper Resiliency Interface
- inspect network topology and deploy configuration templates
Example prompts for the agent
- List open alarms in EMS and acknowledge the latest routing event
- Check recent syslog entries for the affected router interface
- Fetch the current network topology and VPN service health status
