MCP Pfsense Overview

The antonio-mello-ai/mcp-pfsense MCP server exposes pfSense management functions to AI assistants through the pfrest REST API. It provides tools for system status, interfaces, firewall rules and aliases, DHCP leases and reservations, DNS host overrides, pending changes, gateway health, ARP data, and service control. Writes remain staged unless explicitly applied, while destructive actions require a second call with confirmation. Reach for it when an assistant needs controlled access to a pfSense installation and the pfrest package is available on that device.
