MikrotikMCP

What is MikrotikMCP

MikrotikMCP is a graphical user interface (GUI) application developed by DylanAKing. It is designed to streamline the management of multiple RouterOS devices by allowing users to send commands efficiently to a large number of devices simultaneously. This tool leverages Python to automate network management tasks, making it easier and faster to configure and monitor RouterOS devices in bulk.

How to Use MikrotikMCP

Using MikrotikMCP is straightforward, especially for those familiar with Python and network management tasks:

1. Installation: Begin by installing the necessary Python dependencies. This can be done by navigating to your terminal and executing:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Ensure you have Python 3 installed, as the application is compatible only with this version.

2. Execution: To run MikrotikMCP, execute the script using the following command:

   ./path/to/MMCP.py
   

   This will launch the GUI, allowing you to interact with the application visually.

3. Command Input: Enter the commands you wish to execute on the target devices. These commands can be input manually or loaded from a file, allowing flexibility based on user preference.

4. Target Specification: Define your target RouterOS devices. You have two options:

   • Manual Entry: Type the IP addresses separated by commas (e.g., 172.0.0.1,172.0.0.2).
   • File Upload: Load targets from a text file, with each IP address on a new line.

5. Authentication: Provide a username and password when prompted. This information is required to authenticate and execute commands on the target devices.

6. Execution and Feedback: Once the commands are executed, the application provides feedback on each device, indicating the success or failure of the command execution. Additionally, a log entry is created on each RouterOS device for tracking purposes.

Key Features of MikrotikMCP

• Bulk Command Execution: Send commands to multiple RouterOS devices at once, significantly reducing the time required for network management tasks.
• User-Friendly Interface: The GUI simplifies interaction, making it accessible even for users who may not be comfortable with command-line operations.
• Flexible Target Input: Easily load target devices through manual entry or by uploading a text file, offering convenience and efficiency.
• Secure Authentication: Ensures that only authorized users can execute commands on the network devices by requiring login credentials.
• Execution Feedback: Provides immediate feedback on the success of command executions, helping users quickly identify and troubleshoot any issues.
• Logging: Automatically adds log entries to RouterOS devices, keeping track of all actions performed for better auditing and accountability.

MikrotikMCP is a valuable tool for network administrators looking to manage multiple RouterOS devices efficiently. As it is still under development, users may encounter some bugs, but its features offer significant potential for improving network management workflows.
