  "summary": "BlueCat LiveNX is automatable today through BlueCat's customer-hosted LiveNX MCP server. This record is LiveNX network performance and path observability. It is not LiveWire, Integrity, or Edge. The product page describes dashboards, topology, flow and packet analysis, and alerts for on-premises, SD-WAN, and hybrid networks. BlueCat's 10 September 2026 post says the LiveNX MCP server is a supported BlueCat offering, not a community project, and that it can answer performance, traffic-path, and change questions. The official registry row com.bluecat/livenxmcp, version 26.2.2, is an OCI image quay.io/bluecat/livenxmcp that listens on http://localhost:9985/mcp. Required settings include a LiveNX base URL, a LiveNX API bearer token, an MCP client authentication mode, and acceptance of the BlueCat end user license. BlueCat's MCP terms say the server is ancillary software, deployed by the customer, and provided as-is, and that a license for the related BlueCat offering is required. The opened registry row does not list tool names. A public LiveNX REST reference did not render in this pass, so the API is not scored. Connector catalogs and a product CLI were not established. Computer-use viability is unassessed. MCP scores 6 and is the best path.\n"
