Junos Server

Read-only JUNOS troubleshooting MCP server. Discovers devices dynamically from the SURF orchestrator's gNMI-targets endpoint and runs show commands only over NETCONF (PyEZ). It has no configuration/write capability by design.

Tools

• list_devices() — device names from the orchestrator.
• run_show_command(device, command) — runs a show command; rejects anything else.

Environment

¹ Not required when JUNOS_DEV_MODE is set.   ² Required (non-empty) when JUNOS_DEV_MODE is set.

Development mode

Set JUNOS_DEV_MODE=1 and JUNOS_DEV_TARGETS to a JSON list of your own nodes to bypass the orchestrator entirely — list_devices() then returns exactly that list and run_show_command connects to those hostnames. SSH credentials are still required; orchestrator/Basic-Auth vars are not.

JUNOS_DEV_MODE=1 JUNOS_DEV_TARGETS='["r1.lab.net","r2.lab.net"]' \
  JUNOS_SSH_USER=ro JUNOS_SSH_PASSWORD=... uvx --from . junos-mcp-server

Run

uvx --from . junos-mcp-server                 # from a local checkout
uvx --from git+<repo-url> junos-mcp-server    # from git
