Cisco pyATS_MCP
What it does: wraps Cisco's pyATS/Genie testing framework — runs show commands over SSH, parses them into structured data, and can 'learn' and diff device state.
Use it for: turning raw show output into structured facts, verifying config, and before/after state validation on a change.
Notes: it can also PUSH config (pyats_configure_device) — keep its 'writes' box OFF. Needs a pyATS testbed. It runs over HTTP and the Deputy connects over stdio only, so it needs a stdio-to-HTTP bridge first.
