New Around Here
Good morning... major updates to the MCP server which provide more functionality with the router via Clause Desktop and other AI assistants.
This MCP server provides 47 tools across 8 categories for comprehensive router management:
- **System Information** (14 tools): Router info, device lists, WiFi status, services, NVRAM, file operations, processes
- **Firewall Management** (2 tools): Configure firewall settings and VPN passthrough
- **URL/Keyword Filtering** (9 tools): Global URL/keyword content filtering
- **Network Service Filtering** (6 tools): Block/allow services by IP/port/protocol with scheduling (NEW in v3.0)
- **MAC Filtering** (3 tools): Add/remove/list WiFi access control rules
- **DHCP Management** (3 tools): Add/remove/list static IP reservations
- **Internet Access Control** (2 tools): Block/unblock devices (parental controls)
- **VPN Routing Policy** (3 tools): Route devices through VPN clients (Asuswrt-Merlin only)
- **VPN Server Monitoring** (2 tools): Monitor VPN server status and users
For detailed example prompts for each tool, see https://github.com/kcsoukup/asus-merlin-mcp/blob/main/TOOLS_PROMPTS.md
It's a local install, can run directly from the script or from Docker and leverages username/password or RSA keys (recommended) for SSH connectivity. If you are interested, check out https://github.com/kcsoukup/asus-merlin-mcp, run against your device with your favorite AI assistant. Curious to know how it works outside of my environment, with other assistants, and what other useful tools can be added to provide additional support (perhaps some of the Add-ons?).
Thanks!
