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.

These are the Windows and Linux 1.3 guides, the same help that ships inside those apps. The Mac app carries its own in-app help; where macOS differs, see Privacy and FAQ. All docs. Spot something unclear? Tell us.
