MCP server for managing pfSense firewalls through AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot.

> Requires: pfrest package installed on your pfSense instance (provides the REST API).

17 tools across 6 categories:

| Category | Tools | Description | |----------|-------|-------------| | System | get_system_status, get_interfaces | Version, CPU, memory, uptime, temperature, network interfaces | | Firewall | list_firewall_rules, add_firewall_rule, delete_firewall_rule, list_firewall_aliases | Rule management with interface filtering, alias listing | | DHCP | list_dhcp_leases, list_dhcp_static_mappings, add_dhcp_static_mapping, delete_dhcp_static_mapping | Active leases, IP reservations | | DNS | list_dns_host_overrides, add_dns_host_override, delete_dns_host_override | Unbound DNS Resolver host overrides | | Monitoring | get_gateway_status, get_arp_table, list_services | Gateway health, connected devices, service status | | Services | restart_service | Restart any pfSense service |

All destructive operations (delete rules, delete mappings, restart services) require two-step confirmation — the tool returns a warning on first call and only executes when called again with confirm=true.
