Cisco Meraki MCP servers: which one to use
Use Cisco's official Meraki MCP server: it is read-only and hosted. Use Meraki Magic or Wyre when you want an assistant that can also change settings.

Cisco makes an official Meraki MCP server, and it only reads data. You can use Cisco's hosted address for Meraki.com, or run the open-source version yourself for other Meraki environments, and either way you sign in with a Meraki Dashboard API key. The community servers can also change settings, and Meraki Magic and Wyre start in read-only mode per their READMEs. Create the key under a read-only Dashboard admin, because an assistant holding a full-access key can still call the Meraki API directly.
Good for
- Network admins who want switch, wireless and WAN health reports in plain words
- Engineers troubleshooting why clients cannot connect
- Teams on Meraki Government or other regions who need to run the server themselves
- MSPs who manage many organizations from one assistant
Which Cisco Meraki MCP server to use
Use the official Meraki server: Cisco's hosted address for Meraki.com, or the open-source version for other environments. Pick Meraki Magic or Wyre if you want to make changes with read-only on by default, or Selent for compliance audits and backups.

Questions
Is there an official Meraki MCP server?
Yes. Cisco hosts it at https://mcp.meraki.com/mcp and publishes an open-source version in CiscoDevNet/cisco-meraki-mcp-official. Cisco's developer hub describes both.
What is the Meraki MCP server URL?
It is https://mcp.meraki.com/mcp. Cisco's docs say the hosted service supports Meraki.com only, not Federal, GovCloud or localized environments.
Is the Meraki MCP server read-only?
Yes. Cisco's docs say it supports only read operations. They still warn that an agent holding a full-access API key may try to call the API itself, so use a key from a read-only Dashboard admin.
What do I need to connect it?
A Meraki Dashboard account and an API key from Dashboard, under Organization, then API & Webhooks. Cisco's docs list Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code as compatible clients.
Does it work in Claude?
Yes. Cisco's docs list Claude Desktop among compatible clients.
Can I use it with Meraki Government or other regions?
Run the open-source version yourself. Cisco says the hosted service covers Meraki.com only, and the local server can work with any Meraki environment.
Which Meraki MCP server can change settings?
Meraki Magic and Wyre, both read-only by default per their READMEs. Each has a READ_ONLY_MODE setting and asks for confirmation on destructive calls.
What is Meraki Magic?
A Python server published in Cisco DevNet's community repo. Its README offers a dynamic version that exposes about 804 API endpoints and a manual version with 40 curated endpoints.
What does Selent add?
It reaches 400+ Meraki endpoints through search, plus compliance audits and backup and restore. Its README says the advanced features need a Selent API key.
Is the Meraki MCP server free?
The server code is open source. Cisco's docs say use of the hosted server is governed by Cisco's MCP Server Terms and API license terms, and you need a Meraki account and API key.
