Generates L1/L2/L3 topology diagrams, device tables, and AI-ready context files from structured network data and natural-language workflows.

Network Sketcher is an AI-native network design and diagramming tool that facilitates the creation of L1/L2/L3 topology diagrams, device tables, and AI-ready context files. It offers three distinct editions: Local MCP (Model Context Protocol) for direct integration with LLM clients like Cursor and Claude Code, an Online browser-based web service, and an Offline desktop GUI/CLI application. This versatile tool allows users to build network designs from natural language prompts or structured data, export comprehensive outputs including PowerPoint diagrams, Excel-based configuration data, SVG, and HTML, and integrate with AI agents for advanced design and automation workflows.
