Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live San Diego.
See how Cisco engineer Kareem Iskander teams up with David Bombal at Cisco Live San Diego 2025 to build a self-healing network in real time. Using the new Model Context Protocol (MCP), Splunk logs, Meraki APIs, and Anthropic Claude, Kareem’s Python code lets an LLM detect configuration drift and automatically revert changes, no manual troubleshooting required.
You will learn:
• What MCP is and how it exposes trusted tools to an LLM
• How Claude reads Splunk, correlates Meraki changes, and repairs configs
• Why two lines of code can spin up an entire MCP server from OpenAPI specs
• Where to find Kareem’s full code on GitHub and his upcoming Cisco U tutorial
