Built into rConfig

The First AI-Powered Configuration Intelligence for Enterprise Networks

rConfig leads the industry with Generative AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, changing how network engineers automate, analyze, and build using Python, APIs, and real-time intelligence.

ROOTED IN PURPOSE

AI That Understands Networks

rConfig AI isn’t just a chatbot bolted onto a dashboard. It lives inside the Network Configuration Manager, with direct, secure access to your live configurations, backup history, and compliance baselines.

Whether you need to explain a complex routing map in plain English or automate a fleet-wide update using Python, rConfig understands the context of your infrastructure.

WHY IT MATTERS

Industry first. Built for engineers.

A platform that refuses the usual trade-offs, open, auditable, vendor-neutral, and production-ready from day one.

  • First-to-market, chat and code in one platform

    The only Network Configuration Manager offering both Generative and MCP AI in a single platform, bridging the gap between conversational insight and developer automation.

  • Python automation ready

    Generate and run Python scripts wired directly to the rConfig API, concept to cron in minutes.

  • Enterprise security model

    AI runs inside your environment, under existing RBAC, access logs, and change control. Nothing leaves.

  • Open and vendor-neutral, bring your own keys

    No proprietary lock-in, no extra SaaS tax. Use your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini credentials.

“AI should empower engineers, not bill them monthly or harvest their data. We built rConfig AI to be open, private, and incredibly useful, whether you're debugging a router or designing automation in Python.”
Stephen Stack, CTO, rConfig
IN PRACTICE

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rConfig AI and how does it help with Network Automation?

rConfig AI is a suite of intelligent tools embedded within rConfig V8. It combines Generative AI for natural language analysis of configurations and Model Context Protocol (MCP) AI to help developers write automation scripts (Python, Bash, etc.) faster.

Why is rConfig the first to market with both Generative and MCP AI?

We recognized that engineers need two types of help: understanding complex data (GenAI) and building automation tooling (MCP). By integrating both directly into the NCM, we provide a complete feedback loop.

How does rConfig AI fit into Python-based network automation workflows?

rConfig MCP AI acts as a bridge between your intent and your code. You can ask it to 'Write a script to backup Cisco devices in Group A', and it will generate valid Python code using the rConfig API libraries.

What makes rConfig GenAI different from generic AI assistants?

Context. Generic AI doesn't know your network. rConfig GenAI has secure access to your device inventory, live configurations, and compliance reports, allowing it to give specific, actionable advice.

Does rConfig AI require internet access or external cloud processing?

The rConfig platform runs on-premise. For AI features, you bring your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). The connection is direct from your server to the AI provider; rConfig (the company) never sees your data.

Can rConfig AI be used in large enterprise or MSP environments?

Yes. rConfig AI operates under the platform's standard RBAC (Role Based Access Control). You can limit which users have access to AI features, and all AI-generated actions are logged for audit purposes.
