DevNet sandbox

Cisco DevNet provides a public always-on SD-WAN sandbox you can point this MCP at without needing your own vManage.

Connection details

Field Value
Host sandbox-sdwan-2.cisco.com
Port 443
Version 20.10
Username devnetuser
Password RG!_Yw919_83
TLS verify false (self-signed)
Auth use_jwt: false (20.10 doesn't ship the modern JWT endpoint)

Reservation page: https://developer.cisco.com/sdwan/sandbox/.

Config

The repo's config.yaml ships with these values already. Just set credentials in .env:

cp .env.example .env
cat >> .env <<'EOF'
VMANAGE_USERNAME=devnetuser
VMANAGE_PASSWORD=RG!_Yw919_83
EOF

Then:

uv run sdwan-mcp

Heads-up

  • The sandbox warms up on demand. The first request may take 30-60 seconds and return 503 while the lab spins up. Retry.
  • It's shared. Treat it as read-mostly — don't break it for the next person.
  • It's pinned to 20.10. Newer features won't be testable here.
