Netexpert MCP Overview

netexpert-mcp provides cross-platform diagnostics for a local computer and its LAN through normalized MCP tool responses. It covers connectivity, DNS, device inventory, Wi-Fi conditions, active listeners, firewall state, and exposure findings on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Most operations are read-only and bounded by host, port, timeout, and rate limits; Wake-on-LAN is the exception and requires confirmation. Reach for it when an agent needs to investigate unreachable services, unknown devices, DNS inconsistencies, wireless degradation, or risky local exposure without shell access or raw sockets.

Primary Use Cases for Netexpert MCP:
  • Inspect unknown devices on an RFC1918 network
  • Diagnose slow or unreachable services
  • Check DNS responses against trusted resolvers
  • Review local listeners and firewall exposure
