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.

ISE MCP Server

Overview

The ISE MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to dynamically expose Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) data as structured, discoverable tools. This server interacts with Cisco ISE REST APIs, enabling easy integration and data retrieval using JSON-RPC calls.

Features

Dynamic tool generation for Cisco ISE resources.
Environment-driven configuration.
Structured JSON-RPC interface for tool discovery and execution.

Setup

Server

{ "mcpServers": { "ise": { "command": "python", "args": [ "ise_mcp_server.py", "--oneshot" ], "env": { "ISE_BASE": "https://devnetsandboxise.cisco.com", "USERNAME": "readonly", "PASSWORD": "ISEisC00L" } } } }

Requirements

Python 3.8 or higher
Required packages (install with pip):

pip install requests pydantic python-dotenv

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

ISE_BASE=https://devnetsandboxise.cisco.com
USERNAME=readonly
PASSWORD=ISEisC00L

Ensure you have a urls.json file structured as follows:

[
  {"URL": "/ers/config/endpoint?size=100", "Name": "Endpoints"},
  {"URL": "/ers/config/identitygroup?size=100", "Name": "Identity Groups"},
  ...
]

Running the Server

One-shot Mode

Use the --oneshot option to process a single JSON-RPC request:

python ise_mcp_server.py --oneshot

Persistent Mode

Run the server persistently, continuously listening for JSON-RPC requests from STDIN:

python ise_mcp_server.py

JSON-RPC Interface

Initialize

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "initialize",
  "id": 1
}

Discover Tools

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/discover",
  "id": 2
}

Call a Tool

Example for calling the endpoints tool:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "endpoints",
    "arguments": {}
  },
  "id": 3
}

Tool List

The server automatically generates tools based on the entries in the urls.json file. Each tool corresponds to an ISE resource endpoint.

Logging

Logging is configured with standard INFO-level logging. All requests and responses, along with errors, are logged to the console.

Zhipu Web SearchZhipu Web Search MCP Server is a search engine specifically designed for large models. It integrates four search engines, allowing users to flexibly compare and switch between them. Building upon the web crawling and ranking capabilities of traditional search engines, it enhances intent recognition capabilities, returning results more suitable for large model processing (such as webpage titles, URLs, summaries, site names, site icons, etc.). This helps AI applications achieve "dynamic knowledge acquisition" and "precise scenario adaptation" capabilities.
