What changed on the switch
Before a maintenance window the platform lead asks about core-sw-01. Memtro reads its device record and journal: active, rack B4, and a warning note from Dan Fletcher last Tuesday about a failing fan tray.
Ask NetBox which IP addresses are free in a prefix, and what sits on each device.
Connect NetBox with your server's host and an API token, and Memtro reads devices, virtual machines, sites, IP addresses, prefixes, VLANs and journal entries. The token acts as its user. The hourly sync writes each changed device and journal entry into memory. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted them by name, it can add, edit and delete journal entries, record devices, VMs, sites, racks, VLANs and more, reserve the next free address or prefix, assign addresses to interfaces, and change objects. These are inventory records and nothing is configured on any device. Deleting an object is permanent.
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right NetBox tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
These tools change something in NetBox. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in NetBox, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows NetBox's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. NetBox signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.
Events and webhooksOnce NetBox is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Which IP addresses are free in the 10.20.0.0/24 prefix?
Which devices are in the London site, and which rack is each in?
What notes have people written on core-sw-01 this month?
Add a journal note to core-sw-01 saying the fan tray was replaced today
Reserve the next free address in the office prefix for the new printer
Before a maintenance window the platform lead asks about core-sw-01. Memtro reads its device record and journal: active, rack B4, and a warning note from Dan Fletcher last Tuesday about a failing fan tray.
Sarah Collins at Acme needs an address for a new office printer. With the action granted, Memtro reserves the next free IP address in the office prefix with the printer's DNS name and description, and NetBox picks the address. It is an inventory record, so she configures the printer herself.
The teams that lean on NetBox most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.
A record in NetBox is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.
Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.
Create a dedicated NetBox user for Memtro with view permissions, plus add, change and delete permissions only on the objects it should create, edit or delete
In NetBox open user menu → Profile → API Tokens → Add a Token, choose v2 if offered, tick Write enabled only if you want the actions, leave allowed IPs blank or include Memtro's addresses, and copy the whole token: it is shown once
In Connections → NetBox in Memtro type the Host name only, self-hosted or NetBox Cloud, with no https://, path or port, a public DNS name with a publicly trusted certificate, and paste the API token
Ask which IP addresses are free in 10.20.0.0/24
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The NetBox tools are the same everywhere.
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a journal entry (a note) to a device, site, virtual machine, IP address, prefix or VLAN; edit a journal entry's text or kind; delete a journal entry; create an IP address; create a prefix; change an object's status, description, comments, DNS name or tenant; delete a device, site, virtual machine, IP address, prefix or VLAN; create a device record; change a device's name, serial, asset tag, role, site, rack, platform, tenant or primary IP; create a virtual machine record; create a site; reserve the next free IP address in a prefix; carve the next free child prefix out of a prefix; assign an IP address to a device or VM interface, or unassign it; create a VLAN; create an interface on a device; create an IP range; create a tenant; create a rack; create a VRF; create a contact. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed NetBox records into memory as entities.
Host and API token. Create a dedicated NetBox user for Memtro with view permissions, plus add, change and delete permissions only on the objects it should create, edit or delete.
Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in NetBox, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows NetBox's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
