# CMDB Assistant
A Claude Code plugin for NetBox CMDB integration - query, create, update, and manage your network infrastructure directly from Claude Code.
## Features
- **Full CRUD Operations**: Create, read, update, and delete across all NetBox modules
- **Smart Search**: Find devices, IPs, sites, and more with natural language queries
- **IP Management**: Allocate IPs, manage prefixes, track VLANs
- **Infrastructure Documentation**: Document servers, network devices, and connections
- **Audit Trail**: Review changes and maintain infrastructure history
## Installation
### Prerequisites
1. A running NetBox instance (v4.x recommended)
2. NetBox API token with appropriate permissions
3. The NetBox MCP server configured (see below)
### Configure NetBox Credentials
Create the configuration file:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/claude
cat > ~/.config/claude/netbox.env << 'EOF'
NETBOX_API_URL=https://your-netbox-instance/api
NETBOX_API_TOKEN=your-api-token-here
NETBOX_VERIFY_SSL=true
NETBOX_TIMEOUT=30
EOF
```

The plugin uses the shared NetBox MCP server at `../mcp-servers/netbox/`.
## Configuration
### Required Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `NETBOX_API_URL` | Full URL to NetBox API (e.g., `https://netbox.example.com/api`) |
| `NETBOX_API_TOKEN` | API authentication token |
### Optional Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `NETBOX_VERIFY_SSL` | `true` | Verify SSL certificates |
| `NETBOX_TIMEOUT` | `30` | Request timeout in seconds |
## Getting a NetBox API Token
1. Log into your NetBox instance
2. Navigate to your profile (top-right menu)
3. Go to "API Tokens"
4. Click "Add a token"
5. Set appropriate permissions (read-only or read-write)
6. Copy the generated token
## Troubleshooting
### Connection Issues
- Verify `NETBOX_API_URL` is correct and accessible
- Check firewall rules allow access to NetBox
- For self-signed certificates, set `NETBOX_VERIFY_SSL=false`
### Authentication Errors
- Ensure API token is valid and not expired
- Check token has required permissions for the operation
### Timeout Errors
- Increase `NETBOX_TIMEOUT` for slow connections
- Check network latency to NetBox instance
