MCP Resources¶
Besides tools, the server exposes 5 read-only MCP resources that an LLM (or client) can fetch directly for context. All return JSON.
| URI | Contents |
|---|---|
pt://catalog/devices |
Every device model with display_name, category and exact ports. |
pt://catalog/cables |
The cable-type catalog (name → PT type id). |
pt://catalog/aliases |
Friendly aliases → canonical model names (e.g. router → 2911). |
pt://catalog/templates |
Topology templates with descriptions, router ranges and tags. |
pt://capabilities |
Server capabilities and version. |
Resources vs tools
Resources are great for context (let the model read the whole catalog once).
For dynamic queries against a running topology, use the tools
pt_query_topology / pt_export_topology instead.
