MCP server for GenieACS TR-069 ACS: manage routers, ONTs and CPE devices through natural language
What is the io.github.GeiserX/genieacs-mcp MCP server?
The genieacs-mcp server bridges GenieACS TR-069 ACS instances to LLMs, enabling AI assistants to query and manage CPE devices like routers and ONTs. It exposes 7 resources and 12 tools for searching devices, reading parameters, and executing management tasks such as reboots and firmware updates. The server runs as a single Go binary with no external database, connecting via HTTP to a GenieACS NBI endpoint.
genieacs-mcp lets you interact with your GenieACS deployment through natural language. Ask Claude or Cursor to find devices by tag, model, or firmware; read device parameters and task history; reboot devices; push firmware updates; or manage presets and provisions. It's designed for network operators who want AI-assisted device management without leaving the chat interface.

Use cases
- Find all devices that stopped reporting in the last 24 hours and investigate their status
- Query device firmware versions and push updates to specific device groups tagged as 'pilot'
- Reboot unresponsive routers or ONTs and monitor their reconnection
- Read and modify TR-069 parameters (e.g., WiFi settings, DNS) across multiple CPE devices
- Manage device presets and provisions to automate configuration tasks
io.github.GeiserX/genieacs-mcp MCP server FAQ
It's an MCP server that connects Claude, Cursor, or other MCP clients to a GenieACS TR-069 ACS instance, allowing you to search, query, and manage CPE devices (routers, ONTs, modems) through natural language.
Yes, it is open-source under the GPL-3.0-or-later license.
Add a configuration block to your client's mcpServers config (e.g., in Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json) with command 'npx' and args ['-y', 'genieacs-mcp'], plus the ACS_URL environment variable pointing to your GenieACS NBI endpoint.
It requires access to a GenieACS NBI endpoint (default port 7557). For HTTP transport, you can optionally set a bearer token and configure DNS rebinding protection.
No, you need a running GenieACS instance. The project provides a demo stack via docker-compose that includes GenieACS, MongoDB, and a simulated CPE device for testing.
Read operations include search_devices, get_parameter, and seven resources (device info, parameter tree, tasks, faults, presets, provisions, files). Write operations include reboot, firmware push, parameter set, tagging, and preset/provision management.
README (reference)
Source of truth, from the repository.
genieacs-mcp is an MCP server for GenieACS, the open-source TR-069 ACS that manages routers, ONTs and other CPE devices. Add it to Claude Desktop, Cursor or any other MCP client and ask in plain words: which devices stopped informing last night, what firmware serial 000003 runs, reboot the ones tagged pilot. The assistant reads and acts through your GenieACS NBI with 7 resources and 12 tools; one Go binary, no database of its own.
Features
- Find devices the way you would ask a colleague: by tag, model, firmware, last inform, or any TR-069 parameter (
search_devicestakes a MongoDB-style filter). - Read a device's full parameter tree, its tasks and its faults, plus the presets, provisions and files on the ACS, as resources (
genieacs://device/{id},genieacs://devices/list, ...). - Reboot a device, push firmware to it, refresh or set a parameter, or wake it with a connection request, from a chat.
- Tag devices, create or delete presets and provisions, and delete or retry tasks, so the assistant can fix what it finds.
- Every tool description says what it does, its limits and an example, so clients pick the right one without a prompt from you.
- Read versus act:
search_devices,get_parameterand the seven resources only read; the other ten tools queue a task on a device or change the ACS. - No read-only mode: point it at an ACS you are willing to let an assistant act on, and keep your client's tool-approval prompts on.
- Safe on a laptop: the HTTP transport listens on loopback only unless you set an address and a bearer token, and checks
HostandOriginagainst DNS rebinding. - One static Go binary for Linux, macOS and Windows on amd64 and arm64, also as an npm package (
npx genieacs-mcp) and a Docker image.
Quick start
You need a GenieACS whose NBI (port 7557) this machine can reach; without one, the family's demo stack gives you an ACS with a simulated router in about a minute:
curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GeiserX/genieacs-container/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose --profile testing up -d # GenieACS + MongoDB + one simulated CPE, NBI on localhost:7557
Then add the server to a client that reads an mcpServers block (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code; in VS Code the .vscode/mcp.json key is servers):
{
"mcpServers": {
"genieacs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "genieacs-mcp"],
"env": { "ACS_URL": "http://localhost:7557" }
}
}
}
It worked when you ask "which devices does the ACS know about?" and the assistant answers with device ids such as 202BC1-BM632w-000000 (the demo stack) or your own. Docker, the HTTP transport and a local build are in Getting started.
