Read-only MCP server for NetBox, the network source-of-truth tool, maintained by NetBox Labs. Exposes three tools — get_objects, get_object_by_id, and get_changelogs — so Claude can query devices, IPAM, sites, and change history directly from your NetBox instance. Intentionally simple and read-only by default; Python-based and run with uv over stdio or HTTP transport.

Ask Claude to query your network inventory and list all devices in a specific location.
Generate a report of IP address allocations and usage across your network infrastructure.
Find unused network interfaces or identify configuration gaps in your device inventory.
