# Cisco APIC

> Use this tool when you need to manage and automate Application Centric Infrastructure fabrics through REST API operations, solving problems such as network automation, infrastructure monitoring, and backup operations. It takes inputs like class names and SCP server details, and outputs managed objects and automated configuration backups with AES encryption. Ideal for use in network automation workflows and infrastructure monitoring, where AI assistants require programmatic interaction with Cisco ACI fabrics.

## Description

This MCP server provides direct integration with Cisco APIC (Application Policy Infrastructure Controller) for managing Application Centric Infrastructure fabrics through REST API operations. Built using Python with FastMCP, httpx, and a singleton authentication manager, it offers tools for fetching managed objects by class name and creating automated configuration backups to SCP servers with AES encryption. The implementation handles APIC session token management with automatic renewal, SSL certificate bypassing for lab environments, and includes comprehensive error handling for network operations, making it valuable for network automation workflows, infrastructure monitoring, and automated backup operations where AI assistants need to interact with Cisco ACI fabrics programmatically.
