How do I connect Central MCP Server to Claude?

Run `claude mcp add central-mcp-server -- uvx --prerelease=allow central-mcp-server` in Claude Code, or add the same command and arguments under mcpServers in Cursor's mcp.json or Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the client. The blocks above are ready to paste.

Is Central MCP Server free?

The listed licence is MIT. Check the upstream terms for permitted use and commercial requirements; a public repository does not by itself mean the software is free or open source. Connected APIs and hosted services may have separate charges.

What can Central MCP Server do?

Central MCP Server documents 25 tools to the agent, including central_bounce_port, central_find_client, central_find_device. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.

01 / Choose your client

02 / Before you connect

Authentication is not specified. Check the project instructions before connecting.

Install the runtime required by the project and make it available to your client.

Project instructionsEnvironment variable names (optional)

Use names from the project instructions, separated by commas. Enter names only, never secret values.

03 / Add the configuration

Source: generated from public install instructions

claude mcp add --transport stdio 'central-mcp-server' -- 'uvx' '--prerelease=allow' 'central-mcp-server'

Run in your terminal after replacing any placeholders.

04 / Check it in your client

Open your client’s MCP settings and confirm the server connects and lists its tools. A copied configuration does not confirm a working connection.

Security profile

Claimed and verified servers get a weekly static scan that shows what the code can reach: external services, environment variables, shell commands, agent configuration folders, plus any dependencies with known advisories. Claim this listing to get one. How the security profile works

25 of 25 tools

Documented tools (25)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

central_bounce_port

Bounce ports or toggle PoE on CX/AOS-S switches and gateways — fetches live interface state and requires user confirmation before executing

central_find_client

Look up a single client by MAC address

central_find_device

Look up a single device by serial number or device name

central_get_alerts

Active, cleared, or deferred alerts for a site — filter by device type or category

central_get_ap_details

Detailed snapshot for a single AP by serial number; optionally embed richer radio (RF health) and uplink-port data via include.

central_get_ap_trends

Time-series trends for an AP, a radio (radionumber), or an uplink port (portindex) over a time window — CPU/memory/power/throughput, RF channel/noise, port errors.

central_get_aps

Filtered list of access points — filter by site, serial number, status, model, firmware version, deployment, or cluster

central_get_clients

Filtered list of clients — filter by connection type, status, VLAN, WLAN, and more

central_get_cluster_capacity_trends

Capacity trend samples for a cluster — client and device (AP/switch) counts and percentages vs maximum capacity over a time window.

central_get_devices

Filtered list of devices — filter by type, site, model, serial number, and more

central_get_events

Events for a site, device, or client within a time window

central_get_events_count

Event count breakdown by type with responsemode="full" (counts) or responsemode="compact" (ranked event id/name pairs + lists)

central_get_gateway_cluster

Snapshot of a gateway cluster — members and per-member tunnel health; optionally add cluster tunnels, VLAN-mismatch summary, and connectivity graph via include.

central_get_gateway_details

Detailed snapshot for a single gateway by serial number; optionally add ports, tunnels, uplinks, and VLANs via include.

central_get_gateway_trends

Time-series trends for a gateway, port (portnumber), tunnel (tunnelname), or uplink (linktag) over a time window — CPU/memory/availability/temperature, throughput, errors.

central_get_gateways

Filtered list of gateways — filter by site, serial number, device name, model, status (title-case Online/Offline), or cluster name.

central_get_sites

Detailed health metrics for one or more sites (device/client/alert counts, health score)

central_get_summary

Lightweight mapping of all site names to IDs and health scores

central_get_switch_details

Detailed snapshot for a single switch (or stack conductor) by serial number; optionally add interfaces, VLANs, PoE, LAG, VSX, stack members, and hardware health via include.

central_get_switch_trends

Time-series trends for a switch at hardware scope (CPU/memory/temperature/PoE/power) or interface scope (throughput/error counters) over a time window — all metrics returned per sample.

central_get_switches

Filtered list of switches — filter by site, model, status (title-case Online/Offline), or deployment (Standalone/Stack/VSX); each item embeds a current hardware-trend snapshot.

central_get_wlan_stats

Throughput trend samples (tx/rx bps) for a specific WLAN over a selected time window

central_get_wlans

Configured WLANs (SSIDs) with optional filtering by WLAN name, site, and sort fields; filter by serialnumber to list WLANs broadcast by a specific AP.

central_run_network_test

Run a live network diagnostic (ping, traceroute, http, https, tcp, nslookup) against a device — device family resolved automatically from serial number

central_run_show_commands

Execute show commands on a device; auto-validates against the device's supported command catalog and returns the catalog on any mismatch
