NCM MCP Servers

A suite of three focused MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for the Ericsson Enterprise Wireless NCM API, split by domain responsibility for optimal LLM tool selection.

Architecture

Server	Port	Domain	Tools
ncm-fleet	3001	Routers, groups, accounts, locations, configurations, firmware, products	17
ncm-monitoring	3002	Net devices, alerts/logs, speed tests	6
ncm-cloud-services	3003	Users, subscriptions, private cellular, exchange	13

All servers default to Streamable HTTP transport and run together in a single container.

Quick Start

1. Install

cd ncm_mcp_servers
pip install -e .

2. Configure Credentials

Copy the example and fill in your values:

cp credentials.example.json credentials.json

{
    "X_CP_API_ID": "your-cp-api-id",
    "X_CP_API_KEY": "your-cp-api-key",
    "X_ECM_API_ID": "your-ecm-api-id",
    "X_ECM_API_KEY": "your-ecm-api-key",
    "NCM_API_TOKEN": "your-v3-bearer-token"
}

Alternatively, set environment variables with the same names.

3. Run (Docker — recommended)

docker compose up --build

Or build and run manually:

docker build -t ncm-mcp-servers .
docker run -p 3001:3001 -p 3002:3002 -p 3003:3003 \
  -v ./credentials.json:/app/credentials.json:ro \
  ncm-mcp-servers

This starts a single container running all 3 servers:

• http://localhost:3001/mcp — ncm-fleet
• http://localhost:3002/mcp — ncm-monitoring
• http://localhost:3003/mcp — ncm-cloud-services

4. Run (Local, without Docker)

# Run all 3 servers in a single process (recommended for local dev)
ncm-mcp-servers

# Or via python module
python -m ncm_mcp_servers

Run servers individually if you only need a subset:

ncm-fleet            # port 3001
ncm-monitoring       # port 3002
ncm-cloud-services   # port 3003

Override ports via environment variables:

NCM_FLEET_PORT=4001 ncm-fleet
NCM_MONITORING_PORT=4002 ncm-monitoring
NCM_CLOUD_SERVICES_PORT=4003 ncm-cloud-services

5. Transport Options

The default transport is Streamable HTTP. Supported transports:

Transport	Value	Use case
Streamable HTTP	streamable-http (default)	Recommended for all MCP clients
SSE	sse	Legacy MCP clients using Server-Sent Events
Stdio	stdio	Piped MCP clients (single server only)

# Use SSE transport (legacy)
MCP_TRANSPORT=sse ncm-mcp-servers

# Use stdio (only works with individual servers, not the unified runner)
MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio ncm-fleet

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP settings (e.g. .kiro/settings/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ncm-fleet": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/mcp"
    },
    "ncm-monitoring": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3002/mcp"
    },
    "ncm-cloud-services": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3003/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tool Consolidation Strategy

CRUD operations are consolidated into manage_* tools with an action parameter:

manage_router(action="rename", router_id=123, new_name="foo")
manage_router(action="delete", router_id=123)
manage_router(action="update", router_id=123, description="bar")

Read-only metrics are consolidated by type:

get_net_device_metrics(metric_type="signal", net_device=1)
get_net_device_metrics(metric_type="usage", net_device=1)
get_net_device_metrics(metric_type="wan", net_device=1)
get_net_device_metrics(metric_type="modem", net_device=1)
