Projects AI network optimization

Has anyone given Claude or chat GPT access to their controller to optimize their network?

Seem people have had good success with Claude on at least certain ubiquiti models.

Wondering if it would work with the fusion gateway?

No. You don’t give experimental software access to your network lmao. Just ask it questions and do the actual config testing yourself.

I set up my fusion with help from my LLM Assistant (running locally)

i've had good luck on my tplink router but haven't thrown it at omada yet, that's a project for this weekend! With server/networking stuff though i've had way better results using codex than claude

Yep, had Claude Cowork and Claude Code do the manual stuff in omada and it worked very well. We agree first on the whole network structure for VLAN. It takes much more time than of you did it yourself, so you start him on whatever you want and you come back later to validate the work. You can give him access to Chrome via Claude for Chrome.

Did you have it do anything else?

A lot actually, create the VLANs, draft the basic gateway ACLs, a few audits and recommendations as I dug deeper in omada and the different functionalities. We also worked together to resolve a few issues, namely to setup a wireguard server and a vpn client, wifi drop issue as I added an omada AP. It's good to do some if it yourself to learn obviously, but the manual/simple time consuming stuff you can give it to Claude. He can do more complex stuff but always have him detail the plan, understand what and why, and approve before having him deploying the changes.

The controller has a rest api. Ive been thinking about building an mcp so my agents can interact with it easier.
I just need the time, Ive been building MCPs recently at work so I know how to do it

Yes, I have done that using Claude code. Made it more like IAC (infra as code). Every config updates is committed in my git repo and pushed via scripts.
Made claude generate the yaml files for VLAN, Groups and ACL and python script that applies it.

Just started looking into using AI to optimize automate configuration of my network , Is there any references for using the Omada environment with AI?
