Can I see which devices are currently offline?

Yes! Use the `list_network_devices` tool. The agent will return a list of all devices in the network, and you can identify those with a non-'online' status.

How do I check the signal strength for a specific wireless client?

Use the `list_network_clients` tool. Your agent will fetch the list of connected clients, which typically includes signal strength (RSSI), data usage, and the AP they are connected to.

Where do I find my Meraki Dashboard API Key?

Log in to your Meraki Dashboard, click on your profile name in the top right, and go to 'My Profile'. Scroll down to the 'API access' section to generate your key.

Cisco Meraki + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cisco Meraki MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Cisco Meraki tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
