MikroTik MCP Server
MikroTik MCP server enabling AI agents to interact with MikroTik RouterOS routers and switches — querying interface status, managing firewall rules, monitoring bandwidth usage, configuring routing tables, and integrating MikroTik network infrastructure into agent-driven network administration workflows.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
RouterOS credentials. Read-only user for monitoring. Self-signed TLS. Community MCP.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
A network engineer manages MikroTik RouterOS infrastructure and wants AI-assisted administration — querying and configuring MikroTik devices through the RouterOS API.
Avoid When
You use Cisco, Juniper, or Ubiquiti — use their respective MCPs. Never make untested changes to production routing infrastructure.
Use Cases
- • Monitoring MikroTik router and interface status from network management agents
- • Managing firewall rules and NAT configurations from security agents
- • Querying routing tables and BGP peers from network engineering agents
- • Monitoring bandwidth utilization from capacity planning agents
- • Configuring VPN tunnels from network admin agents
- • Diagnosing network issues via RouterOS commands from NOC agents
Not For
- • Non-MikroTik networks (Cisco, Juniper, Ubiquiti require different MCPs)
- • High-security production changes without review (affects live traffic)
- • Teams without MikroTik hardware
Interface
Authentication
MikroTik RouterOS username and password required. Create a dedicated read-only user for monitoring. Admin credentials for configuration changes. MikroTik device IP must be accessible.
Pricing
RouterOS API is free with hardware. Community MCP is free. Hardware or CHR license costs apply.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ RouterOS API must be enabled on MikroTik device (/ip service enable www-ssl)
- ⚠ Use dedicated read-only user for monitoring — admin credentials are too powerful
- ⚠ Configuration changes affect live network traffic — test with caution
- ⚠ RouterOS version affects API compatibility
- ⚠ Community MCP from individual contributor — MikroTik-specific audience
- ⚠ TLS certificate on MikroTik may be self-signed — certificate validation handling needed
