REGENT MCP Server Lets AI Diagnose and Fix OpenWrt Router Issues

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

REGENT is an MCP server that gives AI root access to OpenWrt routers, enabling natural-language configuration and diagnosis. It reads the entire router state, identifies misconfigurations, and applies fixes with automatic rollback if connectivity is lost. The tool uses a three-level access gate and snapshot-based recovery to prevent accidental damage.
