Cisco Nso MCP Server
dbono711/cisco-nso-mcp-server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) that exposes NSO data and operations as MCP primitives (Tools, Resources, etc.) that can be consumed by an MCP-compatible client, enabling AI-powered network automation through natural language interactions.

Features
Stdio Transport: By default, this MCP server uses stdio transport for process-bound communication
Tool-First Design: Network operations are defined as discrete tools with clear interfaces
Asynchronous Processing: All network operations are implemented asynchronously for better performance
Structured Responses: Consistent response format with status, data, and metadata sections
Environment Resources: Provides contextual information about the NSO environment
NSO Integration: Uses cisco-nso-restconf library for a clean, Pythonic interface to NSO's RESTCONF API
Flexible Logging: Configurable logging to stdout and/or file via environment variables. When the LOG_FILE environment variable is set, logs are sent to both stdout and the specified file. If the log…
Multiple Client Support: Works with any MCP-compatible client including Windsurf Cascade and custom Python applications
