Frequently asked questions

1

What authentication methods are supported?

Two methods: username/password (standard APIC login) and X.509 certificate-based authentication (recommended for production).

2

What are the required dependencies?

Node.js 18+, npm, access to a Cisco APIC controller, and valid APIC credentials (username/password or certificate).

3

How can I control which tools are available?

Set the tool selection mode in `aci-mcp-config.json` (whitelist, enableAllTools) or use environment variables `ACI_TOOL_MODE` (core for 35 tools, all for 50+ tools) and `ACI_TENANT_FOCUS`.

How do I set authentication credentials?

Use environment variables (`ACI_APIC_URL`, `ACI_USERNAME`, `ACI_PASSWORD`, or `ACI_CERT_NAME` and `ACI_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH`) or edit the `aci-config.json` configuration file with your APIC details.
