API & MCP reference
NetBox MCP (source of truth)
What it does: the official netboxlabs server queries NetBox — sites, devices, IPs, prefixes, VLANs, cables — READ-ONLY by default (deliberately hard to misuse; a write fork exists at your own risk).
Use it for: looking up INTENDED state (the DB) to reconcile against ACTUAL state (the live network) — i.e. drift detection, and IPAM lookups.
Notes: NetBox and Nautobot APIs have diverged — a NetBox MCP server will NOT drive a Nautobot instance. There's no official Nautobot MCP server: use a community one you've vetted (the catalog's Nautobot entry is a template for it).
