Unoffical Equinix SmartView MCP Server

An unofficial Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for integrating Equinix SmartView — the Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) API — with Claude Desktop. This project enables Claude to query live data from SmartView (such as power, temperature, and environmental telemetry) via authenticated API calls, providing real-time operational context for AI-assisted workflows.

🚀 Features

• OAuth 2.0 Authentication - Secure client credentials flow with automatic token refresh
• 23 MCP Tools - Complete coverage of SmartView API endpoints
• Real-time Monitoring - Environment, power, assets, and alerts
• Subscription Management - Near real-time event streaming
• Production Ready - Comprehensive error handling and documentation
