NetsCLI Desktop Felix Stubner

NetsCLI Desktop is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool designed to simplify network scanning and discovery tasks. It serves as the desktop counterpart to netscli, a versatile network scanner that supports command-line interfaces, terminal UIs, and MCP server integrations for AI-driven automation.

Key Features:

• Visual Network Discovery: Perform host discovery, port scanning, DNS lookups, and ARP table inspections through an intuitive GUI.
• Cross-Platform Support: Available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, with installers that ensure seamless setup.
• MCP Server Integration: Leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to enable AI agents like Claude Code or Cursor to interact directly with network tools.
• Zero Dependency Core: Runs without additional system libraries, except for optional packet capture support via libpcap or Npcap.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for network administrators, security professionals, developers, and IT teams seeking a user-friendly alternative to CLI-based tools. NetsCLI Desktop streamlines tasks like scanning ports, resolving DNS records, and inspecting network devices without requiring terminal access. Its ability to output structured data formats (JSON/YAML) enhances integration with automation pipelines or scripting workflows.

Available via winget for Windows users, NetsCLI Desktop combines the power of Rust-based performance with a modern, accessible interface.
