Rosetta Overview
rosetta MCP server exposes MikroTik RouterOS documentation and structured reference data through searchable MCP tools. It uses SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking and porter stemming rather than vector embeddings, covering RouterOS v7 manuals, CLI properties, command trees, hardware, benchmarks, changelogs, videos, and archived Dude pages. Local deployments run over stdio with Bun, while MikroTik /app deployments provide an HTTP or HTTPS MCP endpoint. Reach for it when an agent needs exact RouterOS command paths, property details, version comparisons, device specifications, or source documentation.
Primary Use Cases for Rosetta:
- Search RouterOS documentation and related callouts
- Explain CLI commands and their arguments
- Check command availability across RouterOS versions
- Find MikroTik hardware by specifications
