Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the NetBird MCP Server?
Connect your NetBird account to any AI agent and take full control of your private network infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Account Management — List and update account settings, including peer login expiration and network ranges using
list_accountsandupdate_account. - User Administration — Create service users, invite regular users, and manage roles or block statuses with
list_users,create_user, andupdate_user. - Access Control — Approve or reject pending users and manage user invitations efficiently using
approve_userandreject_user. - Security & Identity — Change user passwords for embedded IdP and retrieve current user information via
get_current_userandchange_user_password. - Invitation Workflow — Generate, regenerate, and track user invite links to scale your network using
list_user_invitesandcreate_user_invite.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your NetBird API Token
- Start managing your Zero Trust network from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual dashboard navigation to manage peer access or user onboarding. Your AI acts as a network administrator.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly manage network accounts and peer settings without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- IT Administrators — automate user onboarding, invitations, and access approvals through simple commands.
- Security Teams — monitor active users and manage security settings like password changes and account blocks instantly.

Frequently asked questions
How can I see all users currently registered in my NetBird network?
You can use the list_users tool. It will return a complete list of users, including their IDs, roles, and current status.
Is it possible to invite a new user to the network via AI?
Yes! Use the create_user_invite tool to generate an invitation link, or create_user to invite a regular user directly by providing the necessary JSON payload.
Can I manage pending user approvals through this integration?
Absolutely. Use approve_user to grant access to a pending user or reject_user to deny their request using their specific User ID.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
