Summary
Connects Claude directly to Arista EOS switches via eAPI to run show commands, pull configs, and push changes through configure sessions with commit timers. You get batch operations across multiple devices, structured device facts (model, serial, uptime), config diffs against rollback checkpoints, and tech-support collection. Handles credentials through INI files with per-device tags for filtering. Reach for this when you're managing Arista gear and want Claude to troubleshoot live network state, validate config changes before committing, or run health checks across your DC fabric without writing custom scripts.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

[DEFAULT]
username = admin
password = yourpassword
transport = https
verify = false
[switch1.example.com]
tags = main,dc1
[switch2.example.com]
tags = main,dc1
Config file discovery order:
--config_pathargumentEOS_MCP_CONFIGenvironment variable./config.ini(current directory)~/.config/eos-mcp/config.ini
