What credentials do I need to set up this NetScaler MCP server?

You need a Citrix Cloud ID, NetScaler Console Client ID and Client Secret, an OAuth Issuer URL, and a JWKS URI for JWT verification. Additionally, you must provide SSL certificate and key file paths for secure communication.

How do I deploy the NetScaler Console MCP server?

Use the Docker image `docker.io/netscaler/netscaler-console-mcp-server:1.0.3` with the required environment variables (CC_ID, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, MCP_NS_OAUTH_ISSUER, MCP_NS_JWKS_URI, SSL_CERT_PATH, SSL_KEY_PATH) configured before running the container.

What operations can I perform on NetScaler through this MCP server?

This server provides AI assistants the ability to interact with NetScaler environments via Citrix Cloud. Specific operations depend on the NetScaler Console API capabilities exposed through the MCP interface.

Is SSL/TLS encryption required for this MCP server?

Yes, SSL certificates and keys are required environment variables (SSL_CERT_PATH and SSL_KEY_PATH). You must provide valid certificate and key files before deploying the server.

What authentication method does this server use?

The server uses OAuth2 with JWT token verification. It requires an OAuth Issuer URL and JWKS endpoint URI to validate tokens from Citrix Cloud.
