AsusWRT MCP Server

mcp-name: io.github.teefloo/asuswrt-mcp

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for secure, controlled administration of AsusWRT and AsusWRT-Merlin routers via SSH.

Overview

This MCP server provides AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor, etc.) with a safe interface to monitor and manage AsusWRT routers. It operates exclusively over SSH using allowlisted operations—no arbitrary command execution, no firmware modifications, and no factory resets.

Features

Read-Only Monitoring (42 tools)

Category	Tools
Identity & Health	Router model, firmware version, uptime, load, memory
Network	LAN/WAN details, DNS config, IPv6 status, routing table
Clients	Connected clients, DHCP leases, ARP neighbors
Wireless	Radio status, SSIDs, guest networks, client counts per band
Services	Running processes, open ports, cron jobs
Storage	USB devices, mounts, partitions, filesystem usage
Security	UPnP, DDNS, Samba status, conntrack usage
VPN	OpenVPN server, WireGuard, VPN client profiles
Administration	Web admin ports, SSH/telnet access settings
Diagnostics	SSH TCP/banner/auth diagnostics, config snapshot

Mutation Tools (with safety guards)

All mutation tools require:

confirm: true parameter
ASUSWRT_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=true environment variable
Support for dry_run: true to preview changes

Tool	Description
`asuswrt_restart_service`	Restart allowlisted services (httpd, firewall, wireless, dnsmasq, etc.)
`asuswrt_dhcp_server`	Enable/disable DHCP server
`asuswrt_upnp`	Enable/disable UPnP
`asuswrt_radio`	Enable/disable Wi-Fi radio bands
`asuswrt_guest_wifi`	Enable/disable guest Wi-Fi
`asuswrt_guest_lan_access`	Toggle LAN access for guest Wi-Fi
`asuswrt_port_forwarding`	List, add, remove, enable/disable port forwarding rules
`asuswrt_vpn_server`	Enable/disable OpenVPN server
`asuswrt_parental_access`	List, block, unblock, remove parental control rules
`asuswrt_parental_block_all`	Toggle block-all mode
`asuswrt_dhcp_reservation`	List, add, remove DHCP static reservations

Safety Model

No arbitrary SSH: Only allowlisted commands are executed via NVRAM and service calls
No firmware operations: No flash, reset, or bootloader access
Secret redaction: Passwords and sensitive data are never exposed in tool responses
Dry-run support: Every mutation can be previewed before applying
Confirmation required: Mutations require explicit confirm=True
SSH-only transport: No exposure of the router's web API

Prerequisites

Python 3.11+
An AsusWRT or AsusWRT-Merlin router with SSH access enabled
Network connectivity from the MCP client to the router

Installation

1. Clone and setup

git clone https://github.com/Teeflo/asuswrt-mcp.git
cd asuswrt-mcp

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv

# Activate (Linux/macOS)
source .venv/bin/activate

# Activate (Windows)
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -e .

2. Configure environment

# Copy example configuration
cp .env.example .env

# Edit with your router credentials
# Use your favorite editor:
notepad .env        # Windows
nano .env           # Linux/macOS

3. Configure `.env`

# Required: Router connection
ASUSWRT_HOST=192.168.1.1
ASUSWRT_SSH_USERNAME=admin
ASUSWRT_SSH_PASSWORD=your_password

# Optional: SSH key authentication
# ASUSWRT_SSH_KEY_FILE=~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Optional: Enable mutations (disabled by default)
# ASUSWRT_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=t
