netops-field-notes-mcp
The things I check by hand on network gear, as tools your coding agent can call: what changed between two config snapshots and how much it matters, whether a config passes the CIS/PCI basics, why a port will not pass 802.1X, which certificates are hiding inside a config and when they expire, what a device is and what it sits next to, what an OPNsense rule change actually does, and whether a proposed change is safe to push.
Read-only. Deterministic — no model call, so two engineers get the same answer. No account, no telemetry, nothing read from your disk: configs and logs go in as text.
