### AI overview

This article explains how to use an AI agent through the Model Context Protocol to build and verify network labs in Cisco Modeling Labs. It discusses CML 2.10's first-party MCP server, natural-language lab creation, and verification workflows that observe network state and retry until OSPF adjacency converges.

### Source excerpt

CML 2.10 ships a first-party MCP server, and Claude can now build and verify network labs. Field lessons from running an AI agent against Cisco Modeling Labs: dataplane readiness gates, the cat9000v interface trap, SSH host-key rotation, and guardrails that live in docstrings.
