mcp-pfsense

MCP server for managing pfSense firewalls through AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot.

Requires: pfrest package installed on your pfSense instance (provides the REST API).

Features

17 tools across 6 categories:

CategoryToolsDescription
Systemget_system_status, get_interfacesVersion, CPU, memory, uptime, temperature, network interfaces
Firewalllist_firewall_rules, add_firewall_rule, delete_firewall_rule, list_firewall_aliasesRule management with interface filtering, alias listing
DHCPlist_dhcp_leases, list_dhcp_static_mappings, add_dhcp_static_mapping, delete_dhcp_static_mappingActive leases, IP reservations
DNSlist_dns_host_overrides, add_dns_host_override, delete_dns_host_overrideUnbound DNS Resolver host overrides
Monitoringget_gateway_status, get_arp_table, list_servicesGateway health, connected devices, service status
Servicesrestart_serviceRestart any pfSense service

Safety

All destructive operations (delete rules, delete mappings, restart services) require two-step confirmation โ€” the tool returns a warning on first call and only executes when called again with confirm=true.

API Compatibility

  • pfSense: 2.7.x (tested on 2.7.2)
  • pfrest: v2.x (REST API v2)
  • Python: 3.11+

Note: pfrest runs on nginx (port 80 by default), separate from the pfSense WebGUI (lighttpd on port 443). If your pfrest is configured on a non-standard port, set PFSENSE_PORT and PFSENSE_SCHEME accordingly.
