by rdwr-seanr
Overview
Provides AI assistants with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to monitor, discover, validate, and retrieve real-time operational statistics from Radware Alteon Application Delivery Controllers via their REST API.
Installation
npm startEnvironment Variables
- ALTEON_HOST
- ALTEON_USERNAME
- ALTEON_PASSWORD
Security Notes
The server hardcodes `rejectUnauthorized: false` for all HTTPS connections, disabling SSL certificate validation. This critically exposes communications to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, potentially allowing an attacker to intercept or tamper with data, including credentials, despite the tools being read-only. While stated as intended for 'lab environments', this setting is not configurable via environment variables or tool arguments in the provided code and constitutes a severe risk for any production deployment. Credentials for Alteon are passed directly in tool arguments, typically sourced from environment variables or client configuration, which is a standard practice for MCP.
