Network Sketcher

Network Sketcher is an AI-native network design and diagramming tool. It generates L1/L2/L3 topology diagrams, device tables, and AI-ready context files from structured network data and natural-language workflows.

For MCP users, Network Sketcher Local MCP lets LLM clients such as Cursor and Claude Code design Cisco-style networks directly through Model Context Protocol tool calls. It runs locally over stdio, keeps master files on your machine, and produces SVG / PowerPoint diagrams plus HTML device tables.

If Network Sketcher helps your workflow, please consider starring the repository.

Common use cases:

Build a 5-site WAN or campus LAN design from an AI conversation
Generate L1 physical, L2 VLAN/broadcast-domain, and L3 IP topology diagrams
Export a combined L1/L2/L3 HTML viewer and an interactive device table
Create an AI Context file so another LLM can review or extend the network design
Import from live inventory: Use Network Sketcher Cisco Extension converters to turn ACI, Catalyst Center, Catalyst SD-WAN, Meraki, Nexus Dashboard, CML, Cyber Vision, SNA, NetBox exports, or config files (IOS / IOS-XE / NX-OS / IOS-XR / ASA) into CLI commands for any Network Sketcher edition
