MCP server for Cisco Intersight API
MCP server for Cisco Intersight API. The intersight mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 14 defined tools rather than through you.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables LLMs to interact with Cisco Intersight APIs. This server exposes Intersight operations as tools for LLM applications.
The server ships on npm as npm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
macOS — ** ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows — ** %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonLinux — ** ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonRisk — Based Prioritization**: Issues categorized as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOWFour — tier prioritized recommendations: Immediate (now), Short-term (1 week), Medium-term (1 month), Long-term (1 quarter)Compliance — Policy compliance, certified OS versions, HyperFlex compatibilityPerformance — Resource utilization hotspots (CPU, Memory, Power)Server — side tool filtering prevents exposure of dangerous operationsgenerate_security_health_report — Comprehensive infrastructure analysisget_server_telemetry — Server metrics (CPU, Memory, Temperature, Power)get_chassis_telemetry — Chassis telemetry (power, thermal, fans, PSUs)get_adapter_telemetry — Network adapter statisticsYou will need 4 environment variables: INTERSIGHT_API_KEY_ID, INTERSIGHT_API_SECRET_KEY_PATH, INTERSIGHT_BASE_URL, INTERSIGHT_TOOL_MODE. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Intersight MCP's toolset — macOS, Windows, Linux and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jim-coyne; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
