Overview
MCP Server for network monitoring software ntopng, enabling AI agents to query network monitoring data using the NTOPNG database.
To use the MCP Server, configure the Claude Desktop application with the necessary settings in the configuration file and ensure that ntopng is set up with ClickHouse for data storage.
- Implements Model Context Protocol for querying ntopng data. - Supports querying and listing tables in the ntopng ClickHouse database. - Works with Claude Desktop and other MCP compliant clients.
- Monitoring network traffic and performance using ntopng.
- Enabling AI-driven analysis of network data.
- Integrating with other tools for enhanced network management.
Add to your AI client
Use these steps to connect mcp-server-ntopng in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg"
]
}
}
}Cline
Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.
Cline MCP Settings (via UI)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ntopng-marcoeg"
]
}
}
