Authentication: Username & Password.Manage enterprise DHCP and DNS through natural conversationWhy Cisco CPNR + AI?Cisco CPNR powers your IP infrastructure, but its web interface is complex and slow for quick lookups. Stop clicking through menus to find a single lease or reservation -- ask AI and get the answer instantly.Example prompts you can send your AI about Cisco CPNR

Ask: "Find the DHCP lease for MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55"
AI does: AI searches all active leases by MAC, returns the assigned IP, scope, lease expiry, and client hostname.

Ask: "Create a reservation for IP 10.0.1.50 with this MAC address"
AI does: AI creates the DHCP reservation in the correct scope and confirms the binding details.

Ask: "Which DHCP scopes are above 80% utilization?"
AI does: AI lists all scopes with their address ranges and usage percentages, highlighting those nearing capacity.

Ask: "Show me the failover pair status for the production scopes"
AI does: AI checks the failover configuration and reports partner state, load balance, and synchronization status.

Featured Cisco CPNR Tools

list-leases: List active DHCP leases in CPNR. Returns IP address, MAC address, client ID, hostname, scope, state, and binding times for each lease. WHEN TO USE: User asks "show DHCP leases", "what IPs are in use?", "who has an address in scope X?", "find lease for MAC/IP", or any DHCP lease query. FILTER TIPS: Use scopeName to narrow to one DHCP pool. Use state="leased" for active assignments, state="available" for free addresses. EXAMPLES: All leases in a scope: scopeName="VLAN100". Find by MAC: clientMacAddr="01:23:45:67:89:ab". Active leases only: state="leased". STEP-BY-STEP to find what IP a device has: 1) search-leases-by-mac with the MAC address, or 2) list-leases with clientMacAddr filter. To check scope utilization: list-leases with scopeName filter, then compare count against get-scope address range.

search-leases-by-mac: Search for all DHCP leases associated with a MAC address. Returns every lease (across all scopes) for that client device. WHEN TO USE: User asks "what IP does device with MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff have?", "find all leases for this MAC", or "which addresses are assigned to this device?". CRITICAL: MAC format must be colon-separated — CORRECT: "01:23:45:67:89:ab". WRONG: "0123.4567.89ab" or "01-23-45-67-89-ab". EXAMPLE: macAddress="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" returns all IP addresses currently leased by that device. STEP-BY-STEP for device lookup: 1) search-leases-by-mac to find the IP(s), 2) get-lease on each IP for full details, 3) get-scope to see which pool it belongs to.

create-reservation: Create a new DHCP reservation (static IP assignment) in CPNR. Binds a specific IP address to a client identifier so that client always gets the same IP. WHEN TO USE: User asks "reserve IP for this device", "create a static DHCP entry", "assign 10.1.1.10 to MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", or "add a DHCP reservation". CRITICAL: lookupKeyType must match the lookupKey format — use "mac" for MAC addresses, "client-id" for DHCP client identifiers. EXAMPLE: ipaddr="10.1.1.10", lookupKey="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", lookupKeyType="mac", scopeName="VLAN100", hostName="printer-floor2". STEP-BY-STEP to reserve an IP: 1) get-scope to verify the IP is within the scope range, 2) get-lease to check if IP is currently in use, 3) create-reservation to bind it, 4) get-reservation to verify.

list-scopes: List all DHCP scopes (address pools) in CPNR. Returns scope name, subnet, address range, policy, enabled status, and utilization for each scope. A scope defines a pool of IP addresses that CPNR can assign via DHCP. WHEN TO USE: User asks "show DHCP pools", "list address scopes", "what subnets are configured?", "which scopes use policy X?", or any DHCP pool inventory question. FILTER TIPS: Use name for exact scope lookup, subnet to find by network (e.g., "192.168.1.0/24"), policy to find all scopes using a specific DHCP policy. EXAMPLES: All scopes: no filters. Scopes on a subnet: subnet="10.0.0.0/24". Scopes using a policy: policy="default-policy". STEP-BY-STEP for capacity planning: 1) list-scopes to see all pools, 2) get-scope on each for address range, 3) list-leases with scopeName to see utilization.

get-failover-pair: Get detailed information about a specific failover pair by name.

list-zones: List DNS zones managed by CPNR. Shows zone name, origin, serial number, and SOA parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cisco CPNRHow do I connect Cisco CPNR to Claude or ChatGPT?Create a free LearnToSpeak.ai account, add your Cisco CPNR credentials in the dashboard, and paste the generated OAuth URL into Claude.ai's custom connectors or ChatGPT's developer apps. The integration runs fully in the cloud — no desktop app, no CLI, no local install.Does it cost anything to connect Cisco CPNR?The Cisco CPNR integration is free during the LearnToSpeak.ai public beta. You only need a paid plan from Anthropic or OpenAI (Claude Pro/Max/Team or ChatGPT Plus/Pro/Team) since custom connectors require it on the AI provider side.Which AI assistants support the Cisco CPNR connector?Claude.ai (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) and ChatGPT (Plus, Pro, Team) both support the Cisco CPNR integration via the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard. The same credentials work across both platforms — add the connector once, use it everywhere.How many Cisco CPNR tools does my AI get access to?Your AI gets 36 ready-to-use tools for Cisco CPNR, covering the most common read and write operations. Each tool is a discrete action the AI can call on demand — no multi-step prompting, no screen scraping, no workarounds.Is it safe to give an AI access to my Cisco CPNR account?Yes. Your Cisco CPNR credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted in memory when the AI makes a request. LearnToSpeak.ai uses OAuth 2.1 with mandatory PKCE for the AI-to-platform connection, and you can revoke access instantly from the dashboard. We never store or log the actual tool responses returned to the AI.Why use LearnToSpeak.ai instead of running an MCP server locally?Cloud MCP servers work from any browser on any device — no Node.js install, no Docker, no local ports, no maintenance. Configure Cisco CPNR once in the dashboard and your AI connects from claude.ai or chat.openai.com directly. That's the entire value proposition: web AI assistants don't read your filesystem, they read our servers.What is the Cisco CPNR MCP server?The Cisco CPNR MCP server is a cloud-hosted integration that gives AI assistants direct access to Cisco CPNR through 36 tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible AI — no local installation or Docker required.How do I connect Cisco CPNR to Claude via MCP?Sign up at LearnToSpeak.ai, add your Cisco CPNR credentials, and copy the generated MCP URL into Claude.ai's custom connectors (Settings → Developer → Custom Connectors).
