clr-librenms-mcp

MCP server for LibreNMS network monitoring — query devices, alerts, sensors, ports, and more through AI assistants like Claude.

Features

• Device monitoring — list devices, health summary, availability, outages, down devices
• Alert management — list, filter, acknowledge alerts, alert rules
• Sensor data — health sensors by device and type (temperature, voltage, fan, etc.)
• Port/interface info — list ports, search by name, find by MAC address
• ARP & FDB lookups — resolve IPs to MACs, find MAC on switch ports
• Hardware inventory — chassis, modules, power supplies, serial numbers
• IP address management — list IPs assigned to devices
• Token-based auth — simple X-Auth-Token authentication

Installation

pip install clr-librenms-mcp
# or
uvx clr-librenms-mcp

severity	ok, warning, critical

Sensors & Health

Tool	Description	Parameters
librenms_list_sensors	List all sensors or filter by device	device?
librenms_device_health	Health sensors for a device by type	device, health_type?

Health types: temperature, voltage, fanspeed, power, humidity, state, and more.

Ports & Interfaces

Tool	Description	Parameters
librenms_list_ports	List ports/interfaces for a device	device
librenms_search_ports	Search ports by name, alias, or description	search
librenms_port_by_mac	Find port(s) by MAC address	mac

Network Lookups

Tool	Description	Parameters
librenms_arp_lookup	ARP lookup by IP, MAC, or CIDR	query, device?
librenms_fdb	MAC/FDB table for a device	device

Example Usage

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Are any devices down in LibreNMS?"
• "Show me all critical alerts"
• "What are the temperature sensors on router01?"
• "Find which switch port has MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"
• "What's the availability for switch01 over the last 30 days?"
• "Acknowledge alert 42"
• "Show me the ARP table for 10.0.0.0/24"
• "List the hardware inventory for core-switch"

Safety

All tools are read-only except librenms_ack_alert, which is a non-destructive write operation — it marks an alert as acknowledged but does not modify device configuration or monitoring state.

Technical Notes

• Auth: Token-based via X-Auth-Token header (generate tokens in LibreNMS under API Settings)
• API version: Uses LibreNMS REST API v0
• Device parameter: Most tools accept hostname, IP address, or device_id interchangeably
• Sensors: Use librenms_device_health with health_type for filtered sensor views, or librenms_list_sensors for all sensors across all devices
