Netwhisper

A remote MCP server to facilitate interactions with network devices.

Overview

Netwhisper Remote MCP Server is a Cloudflare Workers-based implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It provides tools to interact with network devices, retrieve configuration details, and manage device settings remotely. The server supports OAuth-based authentication and integrates seamlessly with tools like the MCP Inspector and Claude Desktop.

Features

• MCP Tools: Includes tools like get_facts, get_config, and add_static_route to interact with network devices.
• OAuth Authentication: Secure access to the server using OAuth.
• Cloudflare Workers: Deployed on Cloudflare Workers for scalability and performance.
• KV Storage: Uses Cloudflare KV for storing OAuth-related data.
• Durable Objects: Implements Durable Objects for stateful interactions.

Local Development

To develop and test the server locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [email protected]:pmesgari/netwhisper-mcp-server.git
   cd netwhisper-mcp-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Run the server locally:

   npm start
   

4. Open the server in your browser: http://localhost:8787/

Using the MCP Inspector

To explore the MCP API, use the MCP Inspector:

1. Start the inspector:

   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
   

2. Configure the inspector:

   • Set the Transport Type to SSE.
   • Enter http://localhost:8787/sse as the URL.
   • Click "Connect".

3. Log in using any email and password to access the tools.

Connecting to Claude Desktop

To connect the server to Claude Desktop:

1. Update the Claude configuration file:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "netwhisper": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "mcp-remote",
            "http://localhost:8787/sse"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
   

2. Restart Claude Desktop and verify the tools are available.

Deployment to Cloudflare

To deploy the server to Cloudflare Workers:

1. Create a KV namespace:

   npx wrangler@latest kv namespace create remote-mcp-server-oauth-kv
   

2. Add the KV namespace ID to wrangler.jsonc.

3. Deploy the server:

   npm run deploy
   

4. Access the deployed server at your workers.dev URL.

Debugging

• Restart Claude or clear the ~/.mcp-auth directory if issues arise:

  rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth
  

• Test the server using the MCP Inspector:

  npx mcp-remote http://localhost:8787/sse
