DavidIlie/packet-tracer-mcp ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Python MCP server for Cisco Packet Tracer that lets an AI assistant create, validate, and deploy network topologies in real time.

I want to be able to say things like “make me a small office network with 3 routers, DHCP, OSPF, and a few PCs,” and have it plan the layout, check for mistakes, fix common issues, generate the device configs, and send everything straight into Packet Tracer without copy and paste. It should also be able to read back CLI output from devices, inspect the current topology, rename or move devices, delete links, and export the finished setup.

Please make it work with a local HTTP bridge for Packet Tracer, and make the MCP server easy to run from Python 3.11 or newer. If you need to look up current docs online, do that. Keep it practical, with clear setup instructions and sensible defaults so I can connect it from an MCP client like Claude Code or VS Code and use it right away.
