Intersight MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables LLMs to interact with Cisco Intersight APIs. This server exposes Intersight operations as tools for LLM applications.

The server supports two configuration modes:

• 🛡️ Core Mode (Default): 66 essential read-only tools for safe exploration
• 🚀 All Tools Mode: 199+ complete toolset with full CRUD capabilities

See TOOL_CONFIGURATION.md for detailed configuration options.
