MCP server for interacting with Arista, Cisco and Juniper network devices using SSH connection
Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.

This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.
We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.
netdev-ssh-mcp is an MCP server that exposes SSH-based tools for interacting with network devices from Arista EOS, Cisco NX‑OS, Cisco IOS/IOS‑XE, Juniper JunOS, and FortiGate FortiOS. It is designed for use with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, and other MCP clients.
Install via Homebrew on macOS (brew install --cask krisiasty/tap/netdev-ssh-mcp) or build from source with Go 1.26+. Configure it in your MCP client’s JSON config (e.g., .mcp.json for Claude Code, claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop) by providing the path to the binary and optionally environment variables for authentication. Use tools like get_config, run_show_command, run_ping, run_traceroute, and trust_host_key in natural language prompts.
show and get commands on supported platforms.trust_host_key.`get_config` automatically replaces passwords, secrets, SNMP community names, and key material with deterministic SHA‑256 hashes. The same secret always produces the same hash, enabling safe config comparison and diffing.
Supported device types are `eos` (Arista), `ios` (Cisco IOS/IOS‑XE), `nxos` (Cisco NX‑OS), `junos` (Juniper JunOS), and `fortios` (FortiGate FortiOS). `fortigate` is an alias for `fortios`.
Authentication is tried in this order: SSH agent (if `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set) or password (via `DEVICE_PASSWORD` environment variable). At least one method must be available. The password is never passed through tool parameters.
Host key verification is enabled by default using the user’s OpenSSH `known_hosts` file. If a device is not found, the tool `trust_host_key` lets you inspect the fingerprint and then write it to the file. Verification can be disabled with `--insecure-skip-host-key-check` (use only as a temporary escape hatch).
Yes, but Claude Desktop does not inherit your shell environment. You must explicitly set `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` in the `env` block of `claude_desktop_config.json`. Alternatively, use password authentication by setting `DEVICE_PASSWORD`.
