Cisco Modeling Labs (CML)

Connects Claude directly to your Cisco Modeling Labs instance through the Model Context Protocol. You get 51 tools spanning lab lifecycle (create, start, stop, wipe), node management, link conditioning, PCAP captures, and PyATS-powered CLI command execution on running devices. Supports access control lists in HTTP mode and handles everything from topology creation to retrieving console logs from specific serial ports. Useful when you're building network labs and want to skip the CML GUI, or when you need AI-assisted troubleshooting that can pull configs and packet captures on demand. Requires CML 2.9+ and credentials passed via environment variables.
