Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `cml-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Python 3.12 or 3.13** — Python runtime required for cml-mcp.
- **uv package manager** — Install uv (provides uvx). (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
- **Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) 2.9 or later** — Reachable CML server with credentials. (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/modeling-labs/index.html)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `uvx`
- args: ["cml-mcp"]
- required environment variables:
  - `CML_URL`: Your CML server URL. (example: `https://cml.example.com`)
  - `CML_USERNAME`: CML login username. (example: `<username>`)
  - `CML_PASSWORD`: CML login password. (example: `<password>`)
- optional environment variables:
  - `CML_VERIFY_SSL`: Set to 'false' for self-signed certificates. (example: `false`)
  - `PYATS_USERNAME`: PyATS device login username (only if using cml-mcp[pyats] for CLI command execution). (example: `<username>`)
  - `PYATS_PASSWORD`: PyATS device login password. (example: `<password>`)
  - `PYATS_AUTH_PASS`: PyATS enable/auth password. (example: `<password>`)

Note: For CLI command execution on devices, use `cml-mcp[pyats]` in args instead of `cml-mcp`. HTTP transport mode is also available — see INSTALLATION.md.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.

Note: For CLI command execution on devices, use `cml-mcp[pyats]` in args instead of `cml-mcp`. HTTP transport mode is also available — see INSTALLATION.md.
