This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add cml-mcp -- uvx cml-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cml-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "cml-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.cml-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["cml-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cml-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "cml-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {

      "args": [
        "cml-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CML_URL (URL for the CML Server), CML_USERNAME (Username for CML authentication), CML_PASSWORD (Password for CML authentication), PYATS_USERNAME (Username for authentication to devices running in CML), PYATS_PASSWORD (Password for authentication to devices running in CML), PYATS_AUTH_PASS (Enable password for authentication to devices running in CML). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Cisco Modeling Labs CML — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Cisco Modeling Labs CML?
Cisco Modeling Labs CML runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package cml-mcp was installed 1 099 times last week.
How do I connect Cisco Modeling Labs CML?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls cml-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Cisco Modeling Labs CML?
The pypi package cml-mcp was installed 1 099 times in the last week. Week over week that is -34%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cisco Modeling Labs CML open source?
Yes — it is published under the BSD-2-Clause licence, written in Python, 70 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
