Overview

What is Netbird MCP Server?

Netbird MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes select read-only Netbird API resources as tools for LLMs. It allows AI assistants to query information about a Netbird network, such as peers, groups, policies, and posture checks. The server is intended for Netbird users who want to inspect their network configuration through conversational interfaces.

How to use Netbird MCP Server?

Obtain a Netbird API token from the Netbird management console. Install the mcp-netbird binary via go install, building from source, or through Smithery. Add the server configuration to your MCP client (e.g., Windsurf, Claude Desktop) with the token set in the NETBIRD_API_TOKEN environment variable. Optionally set NETBIRD_HOST to change the API endpoint. Then ask the LLM questions about your Netbird network.
