Network automation MCP servers let AI agents manage routers, switches, and firewalls across vendors, query DCIM/IPAM systems for device inventories, automate CLI commands over SSH, perform DNS and WHOIS lookups, trace network paths, and interact with network digital twins. Instead of writing Ansible playbooks, an agent can ask "show me all BGP neighbors on the core routers" and get structured results. Headline findings: Cisco has the strongest MCP ecosystem of any network vendor. Multi-vendor platforms are ambitious. NetBox is the DCIM/IPAM standard with an official MCP server. Safety-first design is emerging — several servers enforce change control workflows and read-only access by default.
