Automate Network Tasks with Claude AI, MCP Server & Python

Build, test, and showcase a Network Automation project using: Claude AI, MCP Server, Python, Scrapli, and Containerlab.

What you’ll learn
✓ Build a complete, 100% hands-on project to showcase to recruiters and managers.
✓ Build the full automation project from the ground up alongside me until completion.
✓ Learn how to use Claude AI and the MCP Server to automate network device tasks.
✓ Automate reading, writing, and troubleshooting device configuration with AI.
✓ Build a network topology from scratch using just Containerlab and YAML syntax.
✓ Tech stack: Claude AI, MCP Server, Containerlab, Docker, Python, and Scrapli.

Requirements
● You should have a basic understanding of networking: CLI, SSH, IP, Routing, OSPF, etc.
● You should have a basic understanding of Python: syntax, data types, functions, libraries.
● Most tools used in the course are free, but you’ll need a Claude API key with minimal credits.
● You need a decent PC to be able to assign at least 8GB RAM to the Ubuntu virtual machine.

Description
Recruiters want results. Managers, too. They value builders and doers – not just theoreticians.

Show them your own hands-on, AI-based network automation project, built using the following tools and technologies

• Claude AI (Claude Code)

• MCP Server (FastMCP)

• Containerlab

• Docker

• Python

• Scrapli

• VS Code

• Ubuntu

• VirtualBox

• Arista EOS | Cisco IOS

During this course, you’ll build a network automation pipeline that is able to read, write, and troubleshoot network device configurations easily with the help of cutting-edge technologies such as Claude AI and MCP Server.

• We’re going to build the project together from the ground up, step-by-step

• You will install, execute, code, and also troubleshoot everything alongside me

By the end, you’ll have a network automation lab that you can actually use in the real world for

• Becoming a better, more skilled Network Automation Engineer

• Showcasing a strong project to companies, recruiters, peers

• Automating router configuration reading, parsing, and writing

• Implementing automated troubleshooting of network services

This project is a perfect fit if you’re looking to showcase your skills as a

• Network Engineer, Network Architect, Network Analyst

• Network Automation Engineer or QA Engineer

• CCNA or CCNP-certified professional

Time is ticking – don’t waste it! Start building.
