LibreNMS MCP Server is a tool that seamlessly integrates your LibreNMS network monitoring data with AI assistants, leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows you to interact with your network infrastructure and retrieve information using natural language commands through AI.

Question 3

What network data can I query using AI with this tool?

Accepted Answer

You can query a wide range of network data, including device health, availability, outage history, detailed sensor data (temperature, voltage, fan speed), list and filter network alerts, perform port and interface lookups, and retrieve ARP/FDB table information for troubleshooting.

Question 4

Are there any write operations or security concerns with this integration?

Accepted Answer

For safety, almost all operations are read-only. The only write operation is `librenms_ack_alert`, which is non-destructive and simply marks an alert as acknowledged, without altering any device configurations or monitoring states in LibreNMS.

Question 5

How do I set up and configure LibreNMS MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

Installation is typically done via `pip install librenms-mcp-server`. Configuration requires setting `LIBRENMS_URL` and `LIBRENMS_TOKEN` environment variables. You then integrate it into your AI assistant's configuration file (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json` or `.mcp.json`) by specifying the command and environment variables.
