## Description

A GNS3 MCP server that provides access to GNS3 (Graphical Network Simulator-3) network simulation environments through the REST API. Built by MiniMax Agent, it enables creating and managing network topologies, configuring devices, controlling simulations, and capturing traffic across network projects. The implementation includes project management tools, node creation and configuration capabilities, link establishment between network devices, simulation control for starting/stopping nodes, and packet capture functionality for network analysis. Cross-platform support is provided through both Unix shell scripts and Windows batch files, with automatic virtual environment setup and dependency management, making it useful for network engineering education, automated lab creation, and network topology design and testing.
