GreenCLI by ChoateLabs

For network engineers

One app for Aruba, Juniper and Mist

GreenCLI is a desktop app for your network work: a terminal for SSH, Telnet and serial, a config editor that checks your changes, an AI helper that never sees your passwords, and safe changes with a rollback timer.

Version 2.0.1 · October 3, 2026 · macOS and Windows · Free (MIT)

Main window: an AOS-CX session with show output, saved hosts in folders on the left.

What it does

Terminal

SSH, Telnet, serial and a local shell, in tabs. Jump hosts, split view and logging. Aruba and Junos output in color.

Config Editor

Risky lines get a squiggle. A Problems list, quick fixes and a diff before you send. Open a whole folder of configs.

Change Jobs

Send one change to many switches. A dry run first, then the switch's own rollback timer until you confirm.

AI helper

Use Claude, OpenRouter, Kimi, Ollama, a local CLI or Casper. Passwords and keys show as <secret hidden> before the AI sees the output.

MCP client

Give the AI tools from MCP servers. Anything that can change a device asks you first, and writes are off by default.

Encrypted vault

SSH passwords stay in a vault (AES-256). AI keys stay in macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager.

Network Intent

Write down what should be true, like "VLAN 50 is on every access switch", and check all your devices at once.

greencli-mcp

Let Casper or Claude Code read your saved devices and configs, with secrets hidden. It can't change anything.

Updates itself

From 2.0 on, GreenCLI updates itself from its GitHub releases. Each update is checked against its signature first.
