Why It Matters

Bridge the gap between human intent and machine execution with the power of the Model Context Protocol.

Configuration Drift

AI-assisted detection and correction of unintended changes across your entire network fleet.

Automated Scripts

Turn natural language into ready-to-run automation code for Python, Bash, or Ansible.

Open Developer Access

AI can browse, query, and act on rConfig’s open-source foundation via standardized MCP.

Private & Secure

Absolutely no data leaves your environment. The MCP server runs locally within your infrastructure.

How MCP-AI Works

Feature 01

Connect Your AI Tools

Seamlessly integrate with Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT. The MCP standard allows these models to automatically discover rConfig's capabilities without complex manual configuration.

Model Context Protocol — Under the Hood

Exposed Toolset

rConfig exposes a curated "toolset" to AI models via MCP. These tools describe available API calls, schemas, and safe operations in a format LLMs natively understand.

  • Describe API definitions & Schemas
  • Distinguish Safe vs. Unsafe Ops
  • Context-aware Config Inspection

All executed inside the customer’s rConfig instance. No external data egress.

The Workflow

From prompt to production in five steps.

1

Natural-Language Request

Ask your AI assistant to perform a task.

2

Tool Discovery

AI identifies available rConfig MCP tools.

3

Code Generation

AI constructs the necessary API calls or scripts.

4

Review & Run

You validate the logic, then execute securely.

5

Audit Logged

Full traceability of the AI's actions.

System Integrators

Build and maintain complex automations faster. Generate boilerplate integration code for third-party tools instantly.

MSPs & DevOps

Generate multi-tenant onboarding scripts and compliance reports tailored to specific customer environments safely.

Automation Engineers

Turn plain-language directives into Python, Bash, PowerShell, or PHP pipelines without manual syntax lookup.
