ISE MCP Server
The ISE MCP Server dynamically exposes Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) resources as structured, discoverable tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides seamless integration with Cisco ISE using a structured JSON-RPC interface, simplifying automation, data retrieval, and integration into network operations workflows.
Configured securely via environment variables, the server dynamically registers tools based on configured Cisco ISE REST API endpoints, each capable of handling optional filters to precisely retrieve the data you need.
Key Features:
Dynamic Tool Generation: Automatically creates structured tools from provided Cisco ISE REST API endpoints.
Advanced Filtering: Tools support precise filtering using fields such as:
Endpoints: name, mac, operatingSystem, etc.
Identity Groups: name, parent, etc.
Network Devices: ipaddress, modelName, softwareVersion, etc.
Profiles and Certificates: friendlyName, issuedBy, expirationDate, etc.
Licenses and Patches: name, status, expiry, etc.
Policy and Security Groups: conditionType, attributeName, value, etc.
and many others tailored to Cisco ISE configurations.
JSON-RPC Interface: Easy integration with automation workflows through clear, structured JSON-RPC methods (initialize, tools/discover, tools/call).
Secure & Flexible Setup: Configure environment variables (ISE_BASE, USERNAME, PASSWORD) for secure and flexible integration.
Use Cases:
Automating security policy audits.
Real-time monitoring and analytics of network access.
Dynamic retrieval of configuration and session state for troubleshooting.
Integrating Cisco ISE data seamlessly with third-party tools.
Operating Modes:
One-shot Mode: Process single JSON-RPC requests, ideal for event-driven automation.
Persistent Mode: Continuously listens for JSON-RPC requests for ongoing integrations.
This server is ideal for network administrators, automation engineers, and security teams looking to efficiently manage and automate Cisco ISE data operations.
