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`.

Where does the server get its data?

All data is retrieved from and sent to the Cisco APIC REST API. The server connects to the APIC controller using the configured URL and credentials.

5

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.
