概要

What is POX MCP Server?

POX MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides network control and management capabilities through the POX SDN controller. It enables Python-based network programming, OpenFlow device management, and automated network analysis through POX's modular architecture, targeting educational environments, network prototyping, and SDN research.

How to use POX MCP Server?

Configure the server in Claude Desktop by adding a "pox" entry under mcpServers in the JSON settings. The server runs via uv and requires the environment variable POX_SERVER_URL set to the URL of a running POX controller (e.g., http://localhost:8000).

Key features of POX MCP Server

Exposes dynamic resources for POX configuration and network topology

Lists all connected OpenFlow datapaths with connection status
Retrieves detailed switch descriptions and flow statistics
Configures POX flow tables from the MCP client
Appends network insights to a persistent configuration memo

Use cases of POX MCP Server

Manage OpenFlow switches and flow rules through Claude Desktop
Build and test L2 hub and learning switch implementations in POX
Collect and analyze network topology and flow statistics interactively
Automate SDN experiments and network policy prototyping
Support classroom instruction and SDN research with a conversational interface

FAQ from POX MCP Server

What runtime does POX MCP Server require?

The server runs using uv and must connect to a running POX controller, specified via the POX_SERVER_URL environment variable (default http://localhost:8000).

How do I access network topology and configuration data?

The server exposes two dynamic resources: pox://network-config for controller configuration and discovered insights, and pox://topology for real-time network topology showing active switches, host locations, and link status.

What kind of prompts are available?

Three prompts are provided: pox-network-manager for general POX controller management, simple-hub for a basic L2 hub implementation, and learning-switch for an L2 learning switch. Each requires a topic or dpid argument.
