After setup, try these prompts with your AI agent:
→Create a network topology with 3 routers, DHCP, and OSPF configured.
→List all available network devices and templates I can use in my current project.
→Validate my current network plan and fix any common configuration errors.
→Deploy the current network plan to Packet Tracer in real-time.
→Explain the current network topology plan in natural language.
Prerequisites & system requirements
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, or Codex)
- Python 3.8+ with pip installed
Keep this setup from going cold
Save the docs, env vars, and workflow around Packet Tracer MCP in Conare so Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor remember it next time.
