Netscaler.MCP.server

This project is an MCP( Model Context Protocol ) server designed to interact with Netscaler devices using the NITRO API (REST). It provides a set of tools to manage Netscaler objects such as lbvserver,csvserver, service, server. The server is implemented using the FastMCP framework and exposes functionalities for creating, updating, listing, and deleting Netscaler objects.

Features

- Tool-Based API: The project defines tools (list_tool, create_tool, update_tool, bind_tool, delete_tool, stat_tool, nslog_tool) that encapsulate operations on Netscaler devices.
- REST API Integration: Uses Python's requests library to communicate with Netscaler devices via the NITRO API (REST).
- Environment Configuration: Sensitive information like IP addresses and authorization strings are managed through environment variables loaded from a .env file.
- Extensibility: Modular design allows additional tools or functionalities to be added easily.
- Transport Support: The server runs using the stdio transport, making it compatible with various client integrations.

Key Files

- NetscalerMCPserver.py: The main server file that initializes the MCP server and defines the tools.
- Tools/NetscalerObject.py: A utility class for performing CRUD operations on Netscaler objects.

The repo also contains an example of the Claude desktop app config file.

It was tested with the Claude Desktop app. The MCP server was hosted in Windows WSL.

You can also use it in Open WebUI by running it via mcpo
<br>mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "api-key-value" -- python3 NetscalerMCPserver.py

But it works even faster if you use tools like Cursor/VS Code or something similar.
