MCP-Packet-Tracer

Active·★ 279·MIT·Updated 2026-10-15

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to programmatically control Cisco Packet Tracer. It allows users to describe network topologies in natural language, which are then planned, validated, generated, and deployed in real-time into the Packet Tracer environment.

MCP-Packet-Tracer sits in the Workflow Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Natural language to network topology planning.. A representative use case is Rapid prototyping and deployment of network designs in a simulated environment.. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 279. Relevant tags include Network Automation, Packet Tracer.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
